• 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.

Just removed the factory exhaust off of my 2019 F3L. I put on an RLS Crusher I came across on FB marketplace. Love the look and the sound with the CAT delete pipe from Baldwin Ironworks. What I did not love was the removal of the exhaust hanger bolt. On the old man scale it was a Three large men and two small boys required removal scale.

Well played Mr. Factory installer......Well played.

Understand totally. Pulled both front wheels on my F3S Daytona today for tire replacement. Took all my strength pushing with my foot on my 1/2” drive ratchet to get the first lug nut loose on right wheel. However, no joy on the next two. Called on my Kobalt 24v 1/2” drive electric impact. Still no joy on #2. Then #3 reluctantly came loose, and finally, after a full 2 seconds of the impact hammering, #2 did come loose. That was WAY over spec. The three nuts on the left were plenty tight, but nowhere NEAR like the right side. Musta had a Sasquatch installing wheels on the line that day ...
 
BC Newell,

I believe Spyders are shipped without the wheels installed. So that means the gorilla that tightened them works for the dealership. At least that was the case with my 2017, which had the opposite problem, the lugnuts were only hand tight. Yes, all three of them, on the right side! :banghead:

Y'know, I think that stuff probably happens more than most people realize. Here's what I think is the cause: It happens when more than one person is performing a single task. Each one assumes the other one completed a given step sometimes, resulting in that step not getting done! Best practice would be to have only one person do it all, that way he knows every step gets done.

I owned a house for 44 years, wherein for 30-35 years we could occasionally smell gas in the kitchen. When we were replacing the worn-out wall oven, the installers discovered the copper gas-line connection buried under the cabinetwork was only hand tight, and had never been wrenched.
