My wife (Marlene) and I (Tom) at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. That was a great Slingshot trip!

Agree with that.I really need a variable exhaust because I have wasted the exhaust I currently have breathing fire. Any estimate when you will be able to send me one.
Breathing fire doesn't seem like a waste to me... It seems EXCITING!

The total shock that day of the first thought... how the hell did they hit that building...until the second one hit. We all knew then. We were sitting on the back porch of the Police Department when the first plane hit, after the second we were checking critical assets and searching for information. The sky above DFW emptied of planes and the flyovers of military jets ensued. As former active duty Army (Military Police) I took comfort in those jets, knowing they were up there. The days turned to weeks and now we are years after the event. It is our Duty to continue the legacy of those patriots who gave their lives that day in service to their fellow citizens. We must never forget.
Lost a great former leader at the Pentagon (Timothy J Maude) that day and we as a nation lost our innocence. But remember how we came together! Flags everywhere, George W speaking on January 20th at the State of the Union... Folks, if that doesn't tear right at the heart I don't know what will do it. Stand strong in God and Country!

Love my Wycked Hitch also. Pulled small cargo trailer to Grand Canyon and back with no issues at all. I use the drop hitch instead of the goose neck adaptor. I never knew the trailer was back there at all. Will have trailer and hitch at the rally in Arkansas next week if anyone wants to look at it.

Do you get more top end also?
It was a question, not a challenge!
-
They look smooth. I'm pretty sure that I've lost the factory parts I removed when I installed the shift knob adaptor. I think that and the boot was my first mod.

The turbo and SC is two complete different animals. last year I scared myself on a few corners when the turbo kicked in and I started to get sideways. This year with the linear power of the SC I had no issues around corners. So in the end my conclusion is:
Tight small track, tight twisty roads SC kit = winner
Large road course higher speeds with longer straights, and not so tight of corners, drag racing street or strip, light to light turbo kit = winner
I think the SC will certainly fit my driving style, I'm a control freak and don't really like surprises. It's a shame you can't get a good mix, or a button to push to swap riding styles for parts of Texas. Do you get more top end also? I think about 105 through the Joshua Tree National Park seemed to be about top end for the sling on stock... either that or the fact the fenders appeared to be about to fly off might have done it for me. Flaps down and fly!

Absolutely incredible. The thought, the work, the time and the capture of character. Truly @Painter you are an artist orders of magnitude above the rest.
What is most amazing is how each of these touch you right in the heart.
I love looking at them, and I can't wait to meet some of you in person next week at Eureka.

And one last thing that I wanted to mention before I get into reviewing these parts......,,,, Its an open forum,... Just like the message board at you local Walmart. Anyone can review or post details about their systems on here.... Who knows,,,,Maybe the other turbo vendors are about to release something that some other member will review on here..
Yeah, just let me know if you need my address to ship to
In all seriousness, we all know this will be the most detailed, honest review with step by step photos that has ever happened. @rabtech will do it the right way. @Turbosling what an awesome way to do business. Do you need someone for a supercharger review?

Slingtop/Rainstop. Now shipping for 149.99. Great job @Samowens44

Great job everyone!

I heard they had small engine repair classes in the jail for skill building...
-
I'd like to increase sound quality, but working on exhaust and some other things first. I just want to thank @rabtech for sharing his knowledge of what, and what not to buy. It does seem that this could be done at a reasonable price point for a vast improvement over the factory infotainment system that was a great disappointment.

I saw Tim's last weekend in person. It looks great. It appears to be very well made and is at least a half of an inch thick. There were several arguments for and against with the group that day.
Does it work?
How much drag/loss? It's like full flaps up to stop on an airplane.
Some bags/accessories will no longer mount due to design. It mounts directly to the roll hoops.It looks great! Did I say that already

We purchased a couple of 39.99 12v electric blankets off of Amazon. They worked great on our last trip when we were caught out in the cold. They are also small enough to roll and store behind the seats with the rain gear.

That thing is so much sweeter than a Barbie jeep.

We didn't make last years event and have been looking forward to this one for sometime!
