Hey Tripod, have you had any complaints about your tag (license plate) being tilted that far towards the top? I'm guessing that some local leo might have an issue if he's having a bad day

That's ok, they know you there

Just wanted to say "hi" ladies from a fellow female slingshot owner in California (as evidenced by my username). However, my husband likes to drive it more than his harley!!!
Need to get a personalized license plate stating it's not his....any plate ideas?Why not get
NOT HIS

As I return from my 'honey do' duties, I feel obligated to share some advice to the 'young whipper-snapper' crowd:
#1 Learn to cook, chicks dig that
#2 Once you're married, try and convince her that you can't cook...otherwise you'll never get out of it
#3 Julia Childs was a genius. To paraphrase: "I always cook with wine, sometimes I put a little in the food..."I don't want to derail this post (sorry), but to the guys out there wanting to find the best way to prepare meals, I have a suggestion. My specialty is real easy to make and I've only heard one complaint in almost 30 years, so I'm sure it's a winner. What is my specialty you may ask? I always make the same thing - RESERVATIONS It works all the time, and you even get lucky on rare occasions when you get home.

I saw that one Dan, and gave you a winner hit

One more bleed screw?
Yup. A total of 4

Rear first, right front second, then the left front. But there also is one more below the master cylinder on the abs module. Don't forget to do that one as well

The IRS. lol. Having to pay them took a bigger chunk from me than I expected. So my fun money is now going towards "being an adult" fund.
Well if was FUN money, send it to me. Fun isn't my middle name - it's my FIRST

Yup Im Soliciting peoples!
Yea, I know. I read that in the papers. How big a sting was that? Somehow, I don't think this is what Stickerdick had in mind with his Three's Da Life! company

Is it like a pimp?

No, I read it at the port that used to have the waste gate hose attached, It reads true vac and boost, but may be a nano second slower in getting that reading. When I ran to old hose there and teed it, it showed 9 psi boost and now withe the rerouted hose and the same waste gate springs, it shows the 7 that it should. Truly, not being on a track and trying to go full boost at speeds over 100 mph, you really don't feel any difference in the lower boost. To have the extra margin of safety to me is worthit

You have the hose going from the turbo housing to the wastegate? Mine runs from the fitting on the intake to the wastegate. Wonder what the actual difference in psi feeding the wastegate is depending on where the line us getting its air from. Would your wastegate think it's getting a higher psi than the motor is actually getting since you lose boost with every bend and going through the intercooler?
Where is everyone tapping in to feed the wastegate? Thanks,
StephenStephen, the way the hose that Pascal is routing is the original way that the system was set up to be. When Hahn was out in CA with Bob doing the ecu testing for the 2 var map sensor, they changed the source of the signal hose from the turbo housing (recommended by Precision and most installers) to the intake side. By doing this, you pick up an extra 1 1/2 pounds of boost and he's been doing them that way since. Noel (using the Hahn turbos) is going with the recommendations of Precision and running the hose to the turbo housing. You get a quicker response and a truer signal that way, but going to the intake side nets you more boost. More boost+more power. I've gone back to the turbo housing source and have gone to that hose. Besides being looking like a LOT more professional installation, there is less chance of having the rubber hose failing as Greg (Pascal) stated. If you remember last October at the Firm, Noel did have his hose melt and it went to full boost. Not good if you want a 2.4 with stock internal parts to live.

Display More@Cameron Roberts gave me his Alpha Exhaust manifold cover when he upgraded to his turbo a year or so ago...now I'm passing it along to the first person that would like to have it. I have no need anymore since I built my own header. First interested person to PM me your address gets it.
STAY PURPLE MY FRIENDS!

Too bad we can't convince Tango to do the same thing with his engine. We'll have to convince him to upgrade his LS to a Big Block. I'll PM him my address right now in case he decides to do that

I have #907 and it's still in original trim. I love all the mods, but a new back tire will be my first purchase. I know after my first plunge into the goodies, there will be no turning back, but for now I'm a mod virgin. Anyone else out there that can relate?
I can relate to that. Mine still has the factory air in the tires.

Not to worry Bill, Angie sent me a copy of one from your office

I must admit I am hooked on Sling modding worse than any heroin addict. If I ain't installing a mod, scoring a mod, or thinkin about what my next fix is gonna be - I just can't get the monkey off my back!! The only one that is able to scratch my itch is Noel at Cycle Springs
Bill, not you too? I knew Mitch had a monkey on his back, but now you do as well? Damn, I need to get that picture to store next to Mitch's

Hope he doesn't blame Sam for the delay

I cancelled already, but will be ready for the Smokies

Jay, I'm in the same boat as you. That's why I joined modders anonymous. I still do mods to my slingshot, but I do so under an assumed name
