• 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.

    Crazy Idea to get rid of the hot foot

Add a second radiator of similar size mounted side ways into the reworked trunk, plumb it into the...

    My First DIY Oil Change

    I decided that I would lower the cost of owning my RT by doing my own oil changes. No point in giving all that cash to the dealer for something I could handle myself. :rolleyes: Besides I like to be hands on when it comes to my ride.
