Major Changes by Section

Section Nature of Change Details
Contents / Index Cleanup & Formatting
Revision 1P fixes several overlapping text entries and formatting errors present in 1Q (e.g., "Kit Parts Prep... Carpet and Dash" was merged on one line in 1Q; 1P separates them).

Unpacking Your Kit Cleanup
Minor text adjustments for clarity regarding box numbering and packing list references.

Steering System Technical Update
1P includes refined instructions for the Upper Steering Shaft/Turn signal assembly adjustment and clarified universal joint availability for different rack types (87-93 vs 94-04).

Cockpit Aluminum Cleanup
Section headers and page numbering were adjusted for better flow; specifically, the transition between footbox and rear wall panels was cleaned up.

Transmission Tunnel Cleanup
Improved descriptions for the fitment of tunnel corners and the U-Joint cover.

Electrical / Wiring Minor Update
The Turn Signal Wiring section in 1P has slightly more descriptive warnings regarding the "pink hazard wire" to prevent fuse issues.

New Diagrams and Photos Identification

While most core diagrams remain consistent between the two versions, the following areas show updated visual references or clarified labeling:

Front Suspension (Pages 44-51): Revision 1P contains clarified labels for the "R model upper arm location" diagrams to assist with spacer placement.

Fuel System (Pages 166-182): The 1P manual explicitly notes that photos now specifically showcase the Complete Kit fuel system, whereas previous photos were a mix of OEM and kit setups.

Steering Bearings/Hardware (Appendix H): The fastener pack list at the end of the manual (e.g., Page 592) was updated to match the specific hardware quantities provided in the December 2025 kits.

General Cleanup Notes

Typographical Errors: Revision 1P corrects several "run-on" sentences in the technical specifications where torque values and part numbers were previously crowded together in 1Q.

Safety Notices: The "A Final Note about Completed Cars" section was re-formatted for better readability but contains the same legal warnings

Hopefully they updated the torque specs for the IRS install. On one page it says torque the bolts that go into the casting at 100 ft/lbs on another page in the table of all the rear end torque it says 129lbs. 129 will strip the threads. Ask me how I know.
