• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Update & 2nd Update issue; Steering LockUp WHILE going 70mph

    Steering Problems We would like to know what NHTSB stands for, & address &/or # to get ahold of them & when/why would one get ahold of them. My early 2008 SE05 Spyder is a hi tech computerized nightmare. Seems to have spent as much time in the shop as with us. My new dealer & Carlo are...

    Wheel Balance Weights?

    wheel balancing I remember many years ago when I was an auto mechanic that there was a federal law of how much weight a mechanic could put on a wheel & tire. It's not uncommon for a wheel or tire to be out of round. You should be able to check it by jacking the wheel up and spinning it just...

    Enough is ENOUGH

    spedotymec is the tech at St. Boni Motorsport where we initially purchased our spyder here in MN and had the very, very bad experiences with the owner and service dept. after the sale, and why St. Boni Motorsport service dept had been turned into the BBB 3-5- times. We see the sarcasm and poor...

    2009 SM5 14 miles in the shop

    We've heard of many, many people having electrical problems with their spyder & lots of people with no start problems. We love our spyder, but had a very bad dealer, St. Boni Motorsport in St. Bonificius, MN. Mark & his service department ran us thru the ringer, then let it sit about 2 1/2...

    Upgrading foglight bulbs

    I would not advise anyone to pay $600.00 for the BRP fog light kit, you have to strip your spyder down to the bare frame to install the 9 plug wiring harnes, 10 pages of instructions. Remove the trunk lid & trunk & instrument cluster & we think that is related intermittent no start problem. They...

    2008 se5 Spyder electrical problems

    Well, I have learned a lot in the past 1 1/2 to 2 weeks. I would strongly suggest that everyone step up & come up with the $135.00 for a shop manual, and read & study it so you know as much about your beloved Spyder as you can! Because it is a very good bet the mechanic has not. Did you know...

    Big hickups after service may be solved

    Well, I think I have good news! I went out to the garage to go for a putt on the spyder, hit the starter button & nothing. I fooled with all the switches & still no starter, so I checked the ground cable on the battery & it was firm, but I decided to try tightening it a little more & got...

    Big Hickups after 600 mi. Service

    I tried the suggestions ya all gave me & checked the ground cable on the battery. It was snug but was able to get about another 1/2 turn. That seemed to fix the starting problem because it starts easier now. When I turn the key on, I hear a little whinning sound, like a small electric motor, so...
