    test day at appin.

    did a last min dash to appin to test the springs/shocks/tyres and
    the other gizmo's ive fitted to the 90 in the last few weeks.
    for starters taking off the sway bars was No.1 on the list.

    and for all of you who wanted to know where my silverstones rub,
    its in the pic's. apart from just rubbing on the radius arms at the front, on
    full lock, they just rub the tops of the spring perches, F&R. but this is minor, the dislocation cones make alot more noise!

    so all in all, zook and con, trent and his family, baz and kerry and sheridan and myself had a really good day.

    more pics to come.
    phil






    baz can you open an album in the trips section pls?

    The dislocation cones ARE noisy, aren't they! ....especially when dried off after a mud pool. They creak and groan like something's broken underneath on full articulation. Nothing a good pressure wash and spray lubs doesn't fix though.

    OK it's in Phil, page 8 trips gallery under Phils Appin test day

    I don't have many pics these are ten of them :roll:

    Others may have some, if you do just add them in there.

    It was a good day with a mixture of hard and easy, with lunch at the end and drinks afterwards at Tonys place thanks for the lift home Tony.

    Baz.
    Cheers Baz.

    Looking good phil, that articulation is awsome.

    Did removing the sway bars make the handling that much worse on the road? Matt
