• 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.

    Can Am Spyder Creation

    CanAm Spyder Creation Wow! Nice video, I am in, when do we go? What was the time frame there, for reference. If it was more than 6-12 months ago things may have changed a little. Like maybe they have that new DOHC vtec-i V4 1800cc engine out that gets 43 mpg, but weighs 3 ounces less...

    Can Am Spyder Creation

    RT Dyno Run with Two Bro's Pipes

    Two bros. Pipe Who did the tuning/dyno? Is that power that you can feel?, was the RT more responsive after?. It looks like the RT had more torque & H.P. at a lower RPM. Maybe it would pull harder from a lower RPM?, maybe a major improvement in the 3500-rpm and up? where can you feel the...
