A car I can wrench on anytime...these years of my son's life I can't get back later. Maybe once he gets older and can hang out with me in the garage then I'll find another Z but for the time being, wrenching isn't in my future for awhile. Major wrenching...a little this and that..yes but swaps..and big ---- like that..no.

Can you say all this for......$4000. Only thing it really needs is some clips for the fender lining in passenger side wheel well, probably a new cd player(still has the stock cd/tape player). I used the cd player all the way home and when I ejected the cd after about 2 straight hours of playing it was burning hot. Toss in another cd and it didn't reconize it. Then tried the one I just took out and did the same. No biggie as I still have the the one from the Z. I've never been this pumped about a car I've ever had. I still have my Buddy Club bucket from the Z and my Yokohama Advan A048's so come autocross season I'll give her a shot.
Good luck, 850's seem to be nose heavy bastards when pushed in corners. but then again, when fooling with Hondas it not a new experience. Volvo's RWD kick *** in twisties. stock twin piston calipers FTW...my 740 wagon had em. I think they all have them to tell you the truth. I cant remember if the 850 series has 2 pistons calipers or not. I just know that for a big *** Non ABS wagon, my 740 stopped on a ------- dime.

Well I finally took some snaps of the 850R. Haven't really done a whole lot to it. New poly upper engine mount(old one was completely torn apart) Pipercross drop-in air filter, eBay single din cd/dvd player with a 4.3" screen(old deck wouldn't spit out the cd's sometimes), and a new 850R grill. I've got a stock pile of suspension and basic tune up parts building up I have to install but it's been so ------- cold out and I only have a small space heater in my garage. The car drives fine but the wheel bearing is starting to go out and howling. I've got the stuff already for that but...just need to man up and brave the cold to install that. Man it's good to have a nice car again.
