#1. buying my 88 HF when i didnt have any money to spend on it.

i bought my car with 258xxx miles on it, with the original motor in it. (it burned about a quart every 200 miles) this is my first car,and i swapped a d15 into it. it has a surging idle, and it has damn near no interior pieces. and the seats have almost no padding left on them.

i keep telling myself that its worth it for an 88 HF, but i'm becoming skeptical...

The worst would be me, me = dumbass, hitting a tree head on going about 25-30. I was "rallying".

Went around a left hand corner sideways, not drifting, and went off the road straight into a tree. I put it in reverse and backed out. My bumper light was broken and the bumper on the pass. side was pushed about 2 inches back. thats it.

anyone know if the hood/bumper/windshield/fenders/etc. from a DX sedan would be a direct bolt-up to a hatch?

Clutch pedal on pedal assembly broke at the weld while I was coming off the freeway. Couldn't actuate the clutch at all. Towed it home with a rope, an hour trip, and during the towing, the guy in my car was riding the brakes causing them to overheat. My car slammed into the back of the tow truck, ruining the hood and bumper.
