Classic Carriers Rack - by Argiope The rack is a single piece, welded and heavily chromed. Chromed mounting brackets are connected to the rack using stainless steel hex screws and washers. The mounting brackets, in turn, attach to two flat chromed strap assemblies, again using stainless steel hex screws. The strap assemblies lie across the top of the engine deck, cushioned by rubber channel to protect the paint. Find the rest of the story by clicking HERE...	Featured Items Click to Enlarge Want to improve your shifting even more after reading the B&M short shifter article? You can find both the B&M shifter and the ACT Clutch package from a new vendor in the Spyder Store - No Limit Enterprises! In Brief! A couple of items of note. First, the new menu system in the Spyder Store is still being worked on to support browsers other than Internet Explorer, please bear with us during the construction. Second, please send in your articles for the June issue ASAP! Including pictorials of recent events and gatherings! New Spider! For those of you wondering why I haven't been around much in the last couple of days and doing stupid stuff like pouring through server logs, it is because my new Spider just came in and I had to fly to Cali to pick it up! Here are the first shots I have of the new wheels! PMok should like it, the only color I could get was black... Click on Photo for More Pics!
B&M Short Shifter - by spyd3rm0nk3y Both Spyd3rm0nk3y and Koops installed the B&M short shifter kit and sent in their own pictorials and directions, thus a double dose of shifting help this month on SpyderWeb! Replace the rear bolt for the shifter cover. Use the supplied push-nut to secure the bolt. This isn't easy, probably the hardest part of the install. I really had to wrestle with the push-nut to get it on and secure. Take your time and don't force it. I had the best luck getting one "side" on and then pushing the other on. I then moved it back-and-forth until it was nice and snug. Before and After Find the rest of the store by clicking HERE...	B&M Short Shifter #2 - by Koops My impression is that the improves the shifting enormously. The first few times you need to adjust to it since the shift stick is moved more to the left, and is also much sturdier to move. Once you are used to it, you can change gears much faster (app. 300 rpm drop between shifts). Find the rest of the store by clicking HERE...
TRD Rear Strut Brace - by Whelp Whelp returns this month with another feature on the TRD strut brace, this time the rear brace. If you missed last month's article on the front strut brace, it is located in the Articles section. Started by removing the stock braces at the strut mounts first. Using the ratchet, and NOT the torque wrench to loosen the nuts. I went ahead and removed all the nuts carefully placing them aside in the exact order I had removed them. That way I could use the same nut in the same place when I put them back on. After all the nuts from the rear struts were removed I then proceeded to remove the nuts from the firewall mounting points for the stock braces. Find the rest of the store by clicking HERE...
