• 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.

    Future of the Spyder??

    I still remember my little metallic blue Messerschmidt (sp) and the things we used to get up to. There were five of us that had them...they were great fun for playing in traffic. In those days we didn't have the "motorways" yet and two lane roads at 45 mph max. provided hours of fun.

    Nascar 2013 Offical Thread

    Sorry, don't understand the animosity. She did well, considering. Yes, it was a boring race with not much chance of passing but OK if you just want to see cars go around an oval flat out lap after lap at speeds approaching 200 mph. For a good race have them use the same course as the Rolex...

    Spyder Gas Cap video install

    I'm having problems with this install...I can't find any instructions as to how to remove the plastic wrapping...should one start at the top, bottom or side for best results. I had a 208v 3 phase line put in anticipating problems with this upgrade. Should I expect an alert notice asking "Do you...

    It's a sweet ryde....just like mine and the best non-car vehicle I've had. I call mine Borys...from Boris the spider by the Who.

    Replacing "Front A Arm Cushions"

    I remember back when I was in the design industry we used to take a lot of time in designing a groove network so that lubricant could reach all of the surfaces necessary. The only thing I can offer is get the assembly well lubed during assembly.

    Checking oil level

    I have a 12" length of 1/4" sq. dowel I carry with me in the frunk. At my first oil change I was careful to get the level correct by the book. When I was sure it was OK I inserted the dowel through the filler until it bottomed out in the tank, withdrew it and made a mark at the full level. Now...

    Mounting your Spyder

    FOUND THESE INTERESTING LED's

    Micromark.com have LED lights in strip form with controller and connectors for reasonable prices. They may not be suitable for external use but worth a wee look. This is not offered as an alternate but just another place of interest to look.

    TNT Car Club

    I had a little episode about a week ago when I was riding to my local fish and chip shop (Capt. Tom's). I have a nice little run of about 4 miles and even though it's a 45 mile an hour speed limit it's a nice ride. Anyway, I hadn't gone but about a mile when a white F150 with three guys in the...
