• 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.

Hello all. Haven't checked in lately since I moved to Fl. and have been trying to get settled. Went to the dealer in clearwater
and asked if BRP had it ( the new motor) in production yet of course the answer was no.
Has anyone heard any more about it. I will definitely trade up, as I would like to get a trailer, and feel that more HP would be better for that.
Thanks.

I remember reading some posts about people who have installed an aftermarket Turbocharger. I think there may have been some reliability problems with engines that burned out prematurely.

My recollection may be in error. Someone else who knows better......please help with some details ?

Every major manufacturers are adding single or dual turbo to their engines. Aerocharger is the only variable-vane and no turbo-lag kit available for the RS. Is the Rotax 990 (designed in the pre2K era, non-forged pistons and 13:1 compression) ready? Yes, with some major transformations. And yes, I burned 2 engines but not prematurely (compared with the number of miles and the number of other non-turborized engines failure).
 
Bigger Motor, 6th gear, supercharger, 50 mpg, yeah, all those things are right around the corner along with a lower price. :roflblack:
 
Until competition shows up for the Spyder, I doubt we will see a larger motor or any real changes, other than color options etc.

I'm not rich enough to afford cheap motorcycles...not well manufactured, more prone to breakage, triple the Porsche maintenance cost and so difficult to repair. nojoke
 
I heard for 2013 they are teaming up with Chrysler to offer a "Hemi" option...................:dontknow:
 
I was lucky enough that mine was able to be rebuilt; The Missus would have never let me pull the trigger again if it had been totalled... :yikes: :opps:
So I'll stay happy "farkling" it up... :roflblack::thumbup:
