We cannot thank Magpie and FAMILY enough for hosting the DODGY DAY .
Everyone was made to feel at home and left wanting for nothing.
Even though it was stinker of a day ,Magpies set up in the workshop and adjoining refreshments bay made for a great day.
My better half took a few Pics ...thanks Lilly

Was that a Unicorn I saw in those pics? :shock:

Ribs, I second that comment!

Can definitely feel the difference with them in, feels very planted and the case responds quicker over bumps, coming out of comers I feel I can or the power in harder and sooner. Very nice.

I think the backs might need some adjustment though, not sure if it's the hardness, it if it's bottoming out. I'll experiment this afternoon.

Got stuck this morning, nosed into a driveway to turn around, one rear wheel came off the ground and it just spun. Had to jump out and push the car back until it was in contact again. These socks don't have much drop!

I guess I'll just have to come back to pick those up in a week or two ;)

Thanks once more!

Thanks to Mark & Tess for hosting yet another D Day. Also for being the base for stripping the NA. I was totally shagged when I got home.

Who wanted it lower :) the rear brace has 100mm of clearance remember :). If you don't have enough droop you may need to lengthen the shocks. If you lengthen then you will need to adjust the preload by the same amount.

Gladiator, nice photo I felt like that as well.

Yep, did this yesterday arvo, heights aren't perfect, I'll need to have another crack in a weeks time, but for now it's much better!

Thanks to Mark for hosting us! First dodgy day I've been to - next time I promise I'll get my hands a bit dirtier ;)

Thanks also to Andrew for letting me nick off with one of the chairs ripped from stripped NA. Threw some rails on it and now it stays put - couple of feet and I reckon it'll be ready for the veranda. ...might also need to clean it up a bit, the dogs are really interested in it for some reason - not sure I want to know why.

Wish I could have made it, I enjoyed the last couple of dodgy days.
