• 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.

    RT rescued from graveyard

    That was my first idea but I wanted to finish the frame and afterwards check if engine is working. When I bought it everything was in pieces therefore I could not start the engine. Now after solving many problems I did not expect to see I am a little bit exhausted and for the time beeing I will...

    Caster/camber angle

    Will do, tomorrow. I will be changing bolts from stainless to steel 12.9 since these are stronger. Grease will take care of rust issue.

    Caster/camber angle

    I'am repairing spyder with bent frame https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?137217-RT-rescued-from-graveyard and I'm sure I won't be able to fix it perfectly. That gives me some space for error. Also, I believe all cars have this setub because of a reason. I've measured all maunts...

    RT rescued from graveyard

    I know some people bought MPI3 with BUDS on sale. You could use BUSMASTER (free app from bosch) to log incoming messages. It would be very helpfull to see messages from working DPS. In exchange I will analyze messages from YAW sensor (ID 0x303). Guess what will happen if we will trick yaw...

    RT rescued from graveyard

    Because of fault p551 and p552 and no data in BUDS from torque sensor I know DPS is damaged. I've removed dps housing to check electronic board but it is glued in many placed to housing. I don't want to buy expensive DPS to help me with steering in low speeds. After steering without dps couple...

    RT rescued from graveyard

    It takes some time to find almost same parts and customize them to work with spider but it is fun when you realize you've paid 8$ for brake master cylinder (perfect condition) because it is for citroen and it is working great. I'm from Kalisz but staying in Poznan for couple of years now. I...

    RT rescued from graveyard

    I've moved photos to google. Don't know why but forum server probably rejected them. They were there at the beginning but disappeared. Now they are back.

    RT rescued from graveyard

    I've bought this one for 2,5k USD. My goal was to keep within 5k USD but ABS unit did not allow that. :) To be honest when I bought this spyder I didn't know how many things could fail because of bad engineering. Normally I don't use cars/bikes with too much electronics. I have older Hilux...

    RT rescued from graveyard

    At this point I starged the engine and there are problems with DPS and ABS. Basically BUDS is reporting both of them are damaged. I've tried to fix DPS but it is glued probably with resin to it's housing. I will try to mimic DPS using CAN bus and I will remove electric motor to remove any...

    RT rescued from graveyard

    Now lokg process of fitting electric harness. There was coolant temperature sensor missing. I used one for many toyota's and other makes. One of oem numbers is AS2140. I used FEBI. Thread is M12x1.5. Newer models have different sensor. Off course sensor was removed by someone and plug was...

    RT rescued from graveyard

    Everything removed and frame cutting starts. Old USA lathe from 1934 (southbend). Somehow it ended in Poland :). After some bending and welding. Plates on left and right side which are holding coolers were removed. They will be done the same way as in MY2013. I'm still not sure how front...

    RT rescued from graveyard

    Upper a-arms were bought from newer model but unfortunately length was not the same. The ones on older RT are longer. Some cutting, grinding and welding and it's done.

    Caster/camber angle

    I've modified my suspension to allow camber/caster change. To do that I used a lathe, stainless bolts and nuts and drill bits. Bolts used to hold A-arm are M10 metric. Steel sleeve in a-arm has OD of around 14,6mm and 10mm ID. I've redrilled holes in plates on frame which are holding bushings...

    BRP BUDS Black Friday Sale

    I want to mimic DPS with arduino so that ECM would not throw an error. Right now I have some info regarding CAN communication but I don't have working DPS unit so I don't know exactly where is torque data placed. I know some rules how CAN frame for DPS is build. If somebody could use Busmaster...

    ABS/VCM from newer models in 2011 RT?

    Quick update. I've contacted multiple companies which sepcializes in fixing ABS units and myself tried to repair mine with microscope. Unfortunately if there is no visible break in cables inside the unit (my situation), chips are probably damaged and there is no way to replace them. So, if you...

    Where is Oil pressure sensor please

    Check resistance between sensor and ground. It switches between fully opened and fully closed after couple seconds (2s-3s) after start. No change in resistance is a faulty sensor.

    ABS/VCM from newer models in 2011 RT?

    Hi, Did anybody replaced their old ABS (VCM) BOSCH 8.0 unit with newer BOSCH 9? Older units tend to fail like mine (no pressure sensor data) and I'm thinking about installing unit from newer spyder. I've disassembled my ABS and checked internal wires in ECU module and all wires are ok but...
