• 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.

    Unable to read oil dip stick

    Thanks for all the suggestions. I was wondering. Where does the oil level in general sit when standing over night cold? I totally understand this is not how you check level but was curious. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Unable to read oil dip stick

    Ok I think I'm going crazy but I have read and watched a dozen how to videos on checking oil but I am unable to get an accurate reading. The oil seems to foam a bit (best description I have) and I can't tell if it high, low or in between. Drive me nuts. I'm beginning t.o chatter on occasion...

    Auxiliary cooling fan not coming on like it used to

    Just a thought. Does the spyder have a thermostat in the coolant system like a automobile? Besides the fan issue it seems as if the thermostat is staying closed when the engine warms up

    2010 rts speaker upgrades

    Well all speakers are in and functioning well. The sound at first was so different than stock that it sounded harsh. But after playing with the setting and getting about 10 hours of music of all kinds pumped through them they are really starting to purr. I think they are a bit tight from...

    2010 rts speaker upgrades

    Well I have my jbl 528's in the front installed. They are definitely a step up in construction. The magnet is at least 4 times as big. The sound is much different. Can't say totally till I get the 428's in the rear. One thing however. The initial test drive sounded really off and I too had...
