Sorry for the lack of updates guys! I just got a big tax bill from my previous employer and it's been killing my car money. I've been working with TDP, they're sending me new knuckles with more roll center correction, I should have them very soon, they were supposed to be here by now, haha.

I also switched the old Kei-offices out for some FEAL-revalved DGR's with Hypercoil springs in hopes of adding a little more adjustability to the front end. The longer brackets should help me pull out some camber, I have to flip them over though.

I am actually, I live in Mattawan. That's my good friend Joe. Do you ever come out to any of the meets around here?

Haha, thanks man, I've always wanted the best of both worlds, low, flush, and proper suspension geometry.

Another good thing to know is you do not need to splice in to the VQ engine harness as long as you have a 350z engine room harness and 240 engine harness. I made a patch harness using these:

Far left: Starter and Fan
Middle: Power, Ground, throttle, ACC, Fuel, etc.
Right: Gas pedal

Thanks for the tips man, I'm about to tackle all the wiring.

Damn I want to see this car go now.

Haha, thanks man, not too much longer now!

I washed it the other day for kicks and gigs. Poor car...

I just moved over here about a month ago and I haven't been to any meets yet. Where are they usually at because I'd be down to check one out.
