Hi,
Just picked up the latest copy ( at least I think it is, as it is printed as "Dec -Feb 2015""??)
of RACER magazine "Australia's most Technical Motorsport Magazine".
I thought it was Grant's car at first!
Has two detailed tech stories on red LJ track cars, on the cover as well.
Make a good stocking filler for the track heads.

Col,
there has been a lot of secret squirrel business going on at my place lately, diffs, new suspension back and front new shocks etc, UC upper control arms , motor coming out for a refreshen up - It is all planned to happen once the new year starts - 10 days of surgery.
Once i get the Rebels cleaned up they will be going on as well and then it will look pretty close.
Must find that mag looks like a good read.- better than sox and undies

Are UC UCA's a direct bolt on?

pretty much so, i'll let you know as they are being broken down at the suspension place but they look the same. the upper ball joint is laid back about 20-25 mm.
the internal shaft looks the same, bushes the same - I'm told they fit with no issues.

Sounds like a plan about to bear fruit Grant.
Good on you.
Can I ask what shocks and springs did you end up selecting?

Col as I had to pull the whole driveline out to fix the upper control arm bushes which meant dropping the K frame it all just became one big job that needed to happen at once, I intend to keep the car long term so I just decided to bite the bullet. The decision was made to go with the SPAX as you can adjust them without taking out the shock which makes them better long term for fine tuning at the track and for different tracks.
If I went with the KONI I then needed to get them re valved which was another cost ontop of the shock, it still left me with the problem of adjustment and undoing them from the chassis turning them and then re fitting them.
suspension concepts - greg nowlan
King springs all round
28 bump and rebound adjustments SPAX shocks - but you can put these shocks in at any time with little effort

Hi Adam
There is a picture of the mag at this post.

You might be able to get it as a back issue. They have a web site https://racemagazine.com.au/ and a Facebook page https://www.facebook...gazine/?fref=ts
Hope this helps
