    Default Haha. Shimmy at 90mph?

    Haha. So, yesterday I was cruizing around at 90-95 mph...and well...I believe the car had a small shimmy!! I thought it was just the suspension and the road casuing the bumpyness...but, unless slowing down to 75-80 lessons those effects...I sadly think I need to look at my suspension.
    Maybe I'm just being to critical, and its really just the suspension. Cause I have no shimmy at any other lower speed.

    Norcal 5er meet was great btw.

    That's the new National Anti-Speeding Telemetric Yoke, or NASTY. Satellites in space monitor your speed and beam death rays at you if you're going too fast. A slight shimmy is the first sign of your impending demise.

    Or maybe not.

    It was relatively small compared to last years. Shragon, SCdavid, myself, Keith, and many many more were there. Hats off to Keith for organizing it.

    That looks like fun. 104 is really really hot. There are some seriously loved cars there. Did being there infect you with upgrade/modification fever?

    I always feel so inferior after meets

    Haha it was lots of fun. I thought there would be more people though. I guess it was just too hot.

    as to your 90 mph vibration, thats an obvious sign of a bent rim or out of round tire.
