• 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.

    New Spyder next year.

    A Bigger displacement? Yes I think so but is space a problem? I would think a V4 is narrower then a 3 cylinder and would run smoother as well. Time will tell ??

    2013 Spyder

    You are right about that! The RT needs a lower reving engine with tourque that will cruise effortlessly. The belt drive needs a different adjustment design for easy Maintenence and smoother running just like the belt tensioner offered by The aftermarket. Floorboards for comfort should also be on...

    Cost of Oil Change

    Gold Plugs I to have the 2 Gold Plug drain bolts and think they are much better then the OEM plugs. To bad the tranny fluid is part of the engine oil or we could all go a lot farther between changes. The sludge or should I say metal fillings are coming from the tranny, not the engine. I find...

    Auto Clutch Damage

    Anyone running 3000 rpms must drive Buicks. I own a Miata and never go below 4000 rpms. I find 5000 to be the sweet spot!

    WARNING FOR ALL RT OWNERS * You may want to check this on your machine

    Well, you are lucky. I would have thought that would aggravate the situation. I have my windshield cut down and my bracket cracked and was replaced. I notice it shakes side to side when on back roads (bumpy) I hope my new bracket is stronger?

    Installing the smoothspyder Belt Tensioner

    I installed 2 belt tensioners, mine and a friends. First thing I did was to use a vise grip to hold the bracket to the right spot before drilling and once in place and strongly clamped, I drilled both holes. Yes, I also put a piece of 1x2 between the belt and top part of frame because the drill...

    Opinions on tire pressures

    Well, 28 in the rear wears the center but yours didn't, lucky! I walked around a lot of Spyders in the Adirondack Rally and most had center wear. I talked to a couple of guys who ran lower pressures and were getting even wear so I run 24 psi in the rear with no issues. Even after a long run on a...

    When is BRP going to solve the faulty Throttle Bodies?

    Wow, great reading here. My 2010 RT has 13,000 miles with no problems, yet? Here's hoping it doesn't but I won't bank on it! I can understand BRP not replacing TB's until they faulter but us, the consumer, will be stranded on the side of the road so to speak. Never had one fail in any vehicle I...

    How do you grease the fittings on top of the A arms?

    I bought 2 90 degree fittings before I got one that would work. I also have two flex line attached together to reach in. Still a job getting the upper rear ones but it does work and I only do it every other oil change.

    How much oil should a spyder rt be using

    I must say that the fun factor overrides the oil I add to my Spyder!!! I must say that this is the first vehicle I own that I have had to add oil to though!! My buddy has a Caddy SRX that needs a quart in 1000 miles, worse then my Spyder!

    Rear Tire ???

    I got 12,000 miles out of my first tire and went with another Kenda oem tire. This time I am only running 24 psi in it cold because my first tire like yours and I think everyone else wore in the center. There was lots of tread on the edges. I talked to two guys who have run lower rear tire...

    How much oil should a spyder rt be using

    I use less oil now that I have switched to 10W/40 Amsoil. I know it is a bit thicker viscousity but I used it in my GS as well for two years. I found the BRP synthetic blend to thin in my thoughts that is and I did use a bit more then a quart in 3000 miles and I have cut that in half with the...

    NEW OIL FILTER

    I agree with Scotty, I use the HiFlo filters and change my oil and filter every 3000 miles. Cheap insurance for our engines!

    Gas milage

    Government regulations? I thought it was a law that gas companies had to use 10% ethanol at least to help get us out of dependence on foreign oil? Who or what company sells it without? I also thought that ethanol help boost octane ratings?

    Front Tire wear !

    I would say an alignment is needed. Not sure if warranty will cover it. Pretty hard to know if a curb was hit or not but I have over 13,000 miles and my front tires look new. The back one was done at 12,000 miles.

    Tire pressure for long trips

    I am putting 24psi in my rear to try and see if the center wears flatter. My first tire wore in the center with 28 psi so this time I will see what happens. I did test this pressure after a long ride two up to see how high it went, 27psi was the reading. Here's hoping it wears better now?
