    The rev hangs are completely gone. :thumbsup:

  • 4 point Corbeau Harnesses, Sparco, Beard, Tanaka or PRP

    So, the 5th point is made to go almost vertically down to keep the lap belt down. That is why the seats have a special slot for them.This method will actually pull the lap belt away slightly. So, it will not do what it is supposed to do. You could still submarine a bit like that.

    I guess you are right. But isn't it still better than just a 4 point?
    I also agree with you that a 2" lap belt is better than a 3".

  • Tickets, speeding or other

    You are correct the license will not expire in Germany, but if you want to transfer a (18 Wheeler driver license) you have to hand over the German license and go for "easer" test. Also are you a citizen, and if so when did you become one? I know you can be dual citizen know. I am a US citizen only and I'm more then proud of it. :):thumbsup:

    I live since 1995 in the US I am a permanent resident (green card) still have my German citizenship. I am married to a US citizen and I raised a bunch of Americans. And they all turned out well ( engineers ) and I am more than proud of that.

    Quote from mytoy

    Before I became a citizen (long ago) and still had my international (German) driver license I drove in NJ on a rural road from the airport home and was doing 95 in a 45 mph zone. I was pulled over and gave the license and insurance paper (company car) and the officer started yelling at me for speeding and I pretended that I did not understand him, after he looked at my license he said "we don't have the Autobahn here" I responded and said "ah Autobahn" so he jumped up and down and let me go with a warning. When he walked he yelled "If I catch you again I look you up and throw the key away". Well I can't do that anymore (Citizen and own Insurance). :):D

    I am still doing that with my company car and German license ( they never expire)
    Worked pretty well so far, never got a ticket just warnings. :whistling:

    Is there anything we can do about the rev hang. It drives me crazy and it is so unpredictable .
    You lift your foot from the throttle and sometimes the revs drop like they supposed
    To,sometimes they hang for a few seconds
    And sometimes they even surge.
    This is by far the biggest problem I have with the Slingshot. I was over an hour on the phone
    With Bob and sending him the ECM he is going to try to help

  • My nitrous setup

    Just got back from a 150 mile ride. Beautiful weather here.
    Had a charger rt revving up on me at a traffic light.
    I nodded at him and purged my lines. When the lights turn green he took a right turn.
    I guess I scared him off ;(
    Didn't even have to prove that my nitrous sling is faster. ^^
    Only bad thing about the ride, my bottle is empty. 8)

  • My nitrous setup

    I am pushing 250 hp with my setup. CAI,tune,1320 header and exhaust ,ported and polished
    Throttle body and intake manifold from RRR.
    I don't like to activate the nitrous in the twisties but I also don't need to about 190-200 hp
    On the wheel is enough.
    But on a strait to activate the nitrous is a blast not far away from a turbo, but I never driven a turbo so I am just guessing. I also changed to one degree colder plugs.
    Overall it is a blast.
    I can also change the jets for a 75 shot the wheel will spin at 75 in third when you floor it.

  • My nitrous setup

    I recently put a 50 shot nitrous express NOS system on my Sling at the same time I also added the portet
    And polished throttle body and intake manifold from RRR.
    First please excuse my bad English it is not my native "tounge"


    I want to show you my nitrous express setup, if somebody has some questions just ask.


    I have a 5 pound bottle with a remote bottle opener and a heater placed in the passenger storage box behind the seat.


    Here is the remote bottle pressure gauge.



    Here are the switches for the remote bottle opener ( far left) next is the heater,
    The red switch is the arm switch and the blue button is to purge the lines.


    This is the window switch, you can program a rpm, and a throttle position to activate
    The nitrous. I set mine to 2800rpm - 6000rpm and WOT.
    What that means is when I am between 2800 and 6000 rpm and apply full throttle
    The nitrous is getting activated.


    Here you see the relais


    Her are the solenoids for nitrous and fuel and you also see the purge valve.


    To spray the nitrous with the fuel I choose a location right behind the throttle body
    On the plastic intake manifold I used a unused hose tube location.
    I cut the hose tube off and insert a plug where I screwed the nozzle in.


    I tapped into the fuel rail for the fuel


    I also installed a oil catch can. There was quite a bit of oil in the header when I pulled of the manifold. Oil and nitrous are not very good friends.
    OK,
    That's it for now.
