More AX here in NM...



We had three Spyders out on the course this day with four drivers. Good times!

Let me hijack one second the thread since here there is much more visibility. Can somebody help me with a specific picture?

We hit a balmy 75 degrees in Chicago today, so it was a perfect excuse to try taking the top off the Spyder. First time doing it under my ownership, but it definitely wasn't as bad as advertised!

Fitted a set of our 7mm spacers up front and a set of 15mm in the rear for good measure. Falling more in love with this car the more I drive it, though I'm sure that's a shared sentiment here! Anyway, snapped a few photos on the way home from the office.

Any rubbing with those 7/15mm spacers? Did you have to get extended bolts?

I also have 7mm front / 15mm rear spacers...no rubbing with standard tire size, and I do use longer lug bolts.

No rubbing with the stock 19” wheels? I just found my old 7mm and 15mm spacers from my Cayman and thought about putting them on the Spyder.

No rubbing! Our kits come with extended lug bolts (and hub bolt fasteners), but yes longer bolts would be required for those spacer sizes.

I finally drove Angeles Crest Hwy last weekend in the Spyder, what a great road! Spyder held its own amongst the GT cars

We've made a habit of having all three club Spyders at AX every event. Amongst ourselves, we've established an unofficial "Spyder Cup."
