Finally put some miles on the z today and am loving the new knuckle bearings. The rear of the car rides way more forgiving with much greater traction. Definitely going to do the front lower control arms next.

yes next to the pinch weld... since i am doing only a 4 point cage i wanted to stiffen the middle of the car while having ease of access to get in and out of the z. Will definitely post about them once i receive them.

Also forgot to mention, my son bought me the new z1 SS dif brace for Christmas. Installation was a breeze and seems a little tighter in the rear during accell now.

Last month install

The DoLuk floor support bars came in about 5 days ago, only installed 1 since my son wants to help with the other. Plus have been doing home upgrade wiring since my home was built in late 50's.

Health hasn't been great lately so my build has been going even slower than expected.
cjm s1 fuel system is 99% done, only need to secure the return line under the car.
charger and bracket have been installed
Planning on relocating my ps cooler this week, installing engine cooler and mount both inter and traction coolers.
