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.
WHY Does The Ryker Get such POOR MPG???

Almost 1700 miles on my 900 ace and I get 31-36 mpg in sport mode. I do have a heavy hand and considering that I’m totally happy with that mileage.

I just bought a VW Touareg TDI. It is a pretty heavy SUV, not as aerodynamic as a car, and has a 240 HP 3.0L V-6 engine. I'm getting 33-35 MPG, so a little HIGHER than my Ryker. Crazy, eh? :dontknow:

I don't think you can do that now. Weren't they the ones that were programmed to override the EPA standards, and VW got dinged for it?

Turbo diesel? 30+ mpg doesn’t surprise me. My Audi is a 2.0 turbo that is tuned with mods and will do 30+ as long as I’m not making boost.

My new VW was bought from a VW Dealership (that got it directly from VW). It is immaculate inside and out, had only one owner, is a 2012 Touareg TDI Sport with 80K miles that was never exposed to road salt (judging by CarFax) for only $15,800.
BTW: It was bought back by VW a full two years ago and was in storage until they came up with "the fix", so effectively it was like buying a 2014. The funny thing is, after driving 250 miles, the check engine light came on, and when I read the code, it said it is putting out too much NOX!!! :dontknow: Perhaps their "fix" could only last temporarily, long enough to pass EPA??? :2thumbs:
