I wasn't aware until I just read this thread that there was actually a paid subscription, but I will happily subscribe as soon as the paypal thing gets sorted out. :cheers: Scott

Hello, I'm hoping that some of you Ultralite owners out there can help me. My 2006 has an issue with the Autometer speedometer -- a voltage drop across the speedometer triggers a vss code and prevents v-tec from engaging. Taking the speedometer out of the loop solves the v-tec problem. It's my understanding that this is a known problem with the early ultralites, and that a common solution is to send a signal from a separate magnetic pulse sensor to the speedometer, and run the vss wire directly to the ecu. Can anyone out there tell me exactly what kind of sensor will work with the autometer gauge, and how it is hooked up? Thanks, Scott

Sevnn, I'm set up to have Demoise Trucking ship the car. The ultralite won't be alone, but it will be on the truck toward the end of a run. They use only enclosed trailers and only their own trucks. I got a good vibe from them, and feel pretty good about the plan. Grundy is insuring the car. It's a limited use policy so I can't use it to commute to work, but happily there is no milage limit. Thanks for the welcome. Scott

Thank you pksurveyor, that's very helpful

WestTexasS2K: Horrid Shops might know the more slack inspectors too! Thanks to all for the quick responses. I'll get to work all all this, and will start with State Farm for insurance. rss

Hello All, I would like to introduce myself to the board. I am the lucky new owner of the S2K Ultralite recently posted for sale by afs. I'm sure this board will prove to be a very valuable resource -- I've learned quite a bit already. Later I'm sure I'll have a lot of questions about suspension setup, etc., but I have a few more immediate questions: 1)Title and registration, and State inspection: originally titled in Ohio as 2006 World Class Motorsports S2K Ultralite Roadster. I'll need to transfer title to Texas. I have no experience with registering this kind of car in Texas, and am looking for some guidance from some of you who have already been there. Any helpful advice or pitfalls to avoid? 2) Insurance: My other vehicles are currently covered by the Hartford. Unfortunately they have declined to cover the S2K. I will try State Farm, and then Grundy, Hagerty, and Zurich. Any other suggestions? 3) Closed transport, Columbus to Houston: So far I've gotten bids from Demoise, Intercity, and G & L. All are at least 2 wks from p/u. Any great recommendations here? 4) Outdoor car covers: Any idea where to find one for this car? If the car can stay outside occasionally it would be very helpful. Thanks, Scott
