Default 1 week till swapping my old D for a newer D with turbo (Die murphys law Die )

If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the one to go wrong (murphys law)

This is what I did last Saturday Morning

That being said onto the pics

So I was supposed to put in the new D series with turbo in this weekend pic below
I had the manifold and housing and elbow all treated with a 3000 degree black thermal coating (so no I didnt paint it black ) the red valve cover is a little bling and bright so i think I may go with the Vtec Valve cover from 94-95 and have it done in a Gunmetal powder coat



But last saturday it was raining and I hit the brakes and ran into a older lady in her accord of course she only had 3 scratches on her bumper

and the piece on the hood latch is whats left of my Fiber Images CF hood


Granted its pretty much only the core support thats needs replacement I went ahead and bought the 99-00 type R fenders with markers from passwordjdm
and orderd a new bumper and radiator and other shiat so a little paint and some parts and ill be ready to go again in a week or so





Granted its not a serious accident and alot of people have been in worse it still pisses me off that 1 week away this happens hence why I put Murphys Law into the topic but wait it gets better Nationwide and all there greatness screwed up and only had my policy down for liability which is wrong and now I have to pay out of pocket until nationwide gets there **** straight according to the local office someone put the wrong info into the system - gee who would have thought a insurance co. could do something wrong

Just thought I would post a couple pics

Quick update Nationwide sent a investigater to my local reps office and found just as I told them I never signed any paper to drop my insurance to liability and all papers signed by me are for full coverage and local rep screwed up and entered the info wrong in the computer so they are gonna send a adjuster out to cut a check next monday

And I have no rental coverage or towing which I had dropped but they said they will pay for it due to the problems over the last week

And they lady I hit didnt call in a claim

Oh and I failed to mention the state trooper who was on the scene says to me last saturday do I know you - I said dunno - he says oh yea i gave you a ticket last month for tinted windows and says I see there still tinted but you have already had a bad day so I will let it go
