• 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.

Broken flaxomagnetic gyroscopic rods

Went for a ride today and went into a ditch, now it seems I've broken BOTH flaxomagnetic gyroscopic rods.

Anyone have these replaced yet?

Can I do it myself?

Another April Fools joke?:dontknow: Or is it possible to break both parts at the same time?:cus:
 
:ohyea:
I really don't think you can brake them so easily More than likely it's your Battery, have you checked to see if the battery terminals are tight.
Also i know it's a little to early for this, But did you change over the Winter air in your tires to summer air.:D Oh yea relays have you check them.?? ;)
 
gyroscopic rods

I have an extra set. They are the old laser ones as I replaced mine with the new fiber optic model. I got these from China so I will sell my old ones for 1/2 of what I paid 10,000 RMB plus shipping.

I disagree. I think it's the flux-capacitor...they're kind of touchy if you don't use premium gasoline and full synthetic oil.
 
You can replace them both if you use the proper conduit stretcher. It takes a 2.3mm and a 12mm. After replacement they have to be cleaned with #8 red emory sparks.

You can blame them...:roflblack:

DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS REPAIR! The replacement of FG rods is dangerous, precision work and requires a steady hand. Anyone who cannot keep a Spyder on the road is obviously either a spastic or a drunkard and is thus, UNQUALIFIED!

Don't they run on 1.21 Jigawatts from a Mr. Fusion? The car runs on electric batteries ( or so we were told on BTTF)?:D
 
:dontknow:A quick fix that will get you home is to dismantle the phyloglotic valves on the end of the dinglearms and bypass them using 18mm plastic coated cable and copper bolts and nuts with zinc washers - the reaction between these forms a bridge.
Warning!! Do not travel at speeds in excess of 95 mph or for distance of more than 800 miles while using this emergency bypass.:lecturef_smilie::lecturef_smilie:
