• 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.

    2014 Spyder RTL Right floorboard doesn't release & drop down - ideas why not?

    I have a 14 RT also - my understanding of how the brake works is that there is normal braking and there is "balls to the wall Braking" .... in the latter mode, the floorboard is supposed to tip downwards to allow Maximum braking effort. My RT is the BASIC model, so it has pegs, and there isn't...

    Differences in leg angle/seating positions.

    Oil filler cap is VERY hard to get off and back on correctly - anyone else? Fixes?

    :agree: my 14 RT is similar ..... I had some scrap plywood 3/8, I drilled a hole one inch from the end then made two cuts alongside the hole ..... this slot fits over the oil filler and makes it easy to open .... I just leave it under the seat..... Mike :thumbup:

    Will a 2023 F3 fit on an open 6x12 UHaul Trailer with ramp?

    :agree: with Peter and Snoking 1127 ..... The actual bed size is only meaning-full if the tailgate opening is wide enough ..... And a short ramp isn't really a problem - just tilt the TONGUE end up .... good luck ...Mike :thumbup:

    Buying used - 2015 Spyder F3-S - is this milage/usage a concern?

    I have over 80,000 miles on my 14 RT, which I bought and have DIY serviced since new - only 40,000 miles on a 1330 engine is nothing to be concerned about. You don't say how much they are asking, and that's important info as to whether it's priced right or not?! You should realize that most...

    Are High Idle revs at start up normal?

    I have the same engine/trans that you do .... a 14 RT with 80,000 + miles .... on a cold start the revs are 1100 + rpm's and they drop to 900 in about ONE minute ..... this lowers the CLUNK quite a bit .... Yes, the Rev's will affect the clunk, but that's because the trans has STRAIGHT cut...

    Hey, Spyder Audio Experts.... Here's some questions on upgrades - any help?

    The OEM front speakers were 5.25 .... the rears were a custom size, I think 4.25". I was able to enlarge the rear hole to fit the 5.25 without any problem .... A tip .... if you can raise the speaker up even 1/8 in. using a spacer that raises the rear cone frame, it will fit into the OEM hole...

    Hey, Spyder Audio Experts.... Here's some questions on upgrades - any help?

    I did mine completely differently.... The output of the OEM stereo/amp is fine; the key is how much resistance the Speakers have. OEM, that is 4 Ohms; mine are 2 Ohms. My '14 RT can be heard from 300 ft away, and it's a clear sound from my Sirius XM receiver. I also swapped out the OEM speakers...

    Do Spyder Drive Belts age or wear out?

    In the past 12 years I've read many, many posts about using drive belts that had holes in them, and then put 10's of thousands of more miles on them...... My concern with a damaged belt would be if the damage were on the edge of the belt, and even them I would monitor it, and keep pics to...
