Tim is doing YR 12 now Chopper, bad time to be under achieving homework, especially when the scores count!

He U-Turns with the right foot if you know what I mean

These LJ-LC's suck at U-turns considering their size in any case. I can't wait till I get a limo rear end to tighten it up a bit.

I wanna go 17s but no money and I'm scared of my car getting stolen or put on bricks :cry:

I think the Longbeaches look beter than them, but it all boils down to prefference.

Last time I spoke to you, the colour choice was still up in the air. Have you finally decided on a colour for the 2 door?

You want to be good at 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7 point turns when you drive a LC/J Torana. Terrible turning circle... :tease:

Uc front brake upgrade improves the turning circle. Not by a whole lot, but a bit.

I fail to see how a UC brake upgrade on an LJ would improve the turing circle.

Yes it does if you use the UC steering arms because the UC steering arms have better ackerman angles built into them.
Have a look at how the LC/J arms bend in toward the middle of the car which is the opposite to what you want.

What I am not sure of is how exactly the UC steering arms affect the bumpsteer on an LJ - another one of those things I havn't got round to measuring.

I see a brake upgrade being different to a steering arm swap. One is brakes, one is steering. Mind you, Iif you had mentioned swapping the steering arms in the first place, I would still have questioned it. Mainly because I've never heard of this before. And that's mainly because GMH only built proper Toranas starting with the LH. Why should I bother myself with inferior products?
