Bum arm and bruised ribs from said arm giving out the other day when trying to finish the inside wiring. Arm gave out and I bounced off the lower seat side bolster.

So today..........feeling well enough to finish running the wiring from the dash to the rear of the Z, inside the spare tire area. I got it done. Had to watch how I twisted and how much weight I put on my arm.

1st pic. The wiring under the console.
2nd pic. Wiring going under the rear of the console.
3rd pic. Wiring in the red harness coming out from the front of the Z.
4th pic. Wiring going through the frame.
5th pic. Wiring coming out of the frame and where it will go through the body to the outside of the Z. See the plug there.

More pic's. The foam filler piece that goes in the void in front of the frame shock towers. When I did phunk's RRP years ago. I had trimmed that foam piece so that I could remove it if I had to in the future. Without removing all of the plastic interior panels. I was thinking ahead when I did this.

Rusty, how do you like this as a mod? I see from the specs that it's about 4% underdriven (if I'm reading the table correctly); would you say there is a noticeable improvement in performance from this item?

Tell you the truth. I can't tell the difference. I got it to help the stock oil pump live at high rpm's.

Here's a link to my install of the rear SPL suspension parts.

Traction arms, Camber arms. Lock-out bolts, Knuckle monoball bushings.

The Complete SPL Rear Suspension (Almost)

Suspension necessities if you want to put and keep the power down!

Got parts today from Z1. XP10 and XP8 pads and a Z1 brake master cylinder brace.

Rusty · 11-01-2017, 10:33 PM

And since I had the wheels off. I decided to chase the threads on the wheel studs and lug nuts to clean them up with a 12mm x 1.25mm tap and die.

Hotrodz · 11-01-2017, 10:36 PM

You want go fast...you got to stop fast too!

You can always do what I did...You’d have to get help w/the torque wrench.

Yeah, I'm not allowed to pick up anything over 5 lbs with my arm.

I had a hard time lifting a 10lbs barbell at rehab today.

You’ll get it back; just be patient.
