Event Update for this SATURDAY Aug 12th 2017. Meeting at 7:00PM at Brewski’s at 20940 Katy Frwy, Katy TX, 77449

Here is the Facebook Link. : EVENT INFO

MAJOR EVENT UPDATE FOR 8/12/17!
Come out for a fun evening with the Slingshot Houston family! Initial meetup spot will be at Brewski’s at 20940 Katy Frwy, Katy TX, 77449 (In the back of the shopping center) between 6 and 7 pm. We will ride out from here promptly at 8pm. There are several restaurants in this area, so if you would like to eat here, please arrive early so we can leave on time. (There will be additional food options at the party at 9:30 pm) Meetup, hang out, and ride out at 8pm.

From here we will ride West (right) on the I-10 feeder to the 99 feeder and head South (left), to Cinco Ranch Blvd, where we’ll swarm in and invade the LaCenterra shopping area, which is always bustling with activity. Drones will capture our group as we take over this area for a brief moment. This isn’t an “official stop”, but we may pause for a moment here to group up closely and get some pictures. (If the locals don’t get to angry!) Let’s try our best to stay as close together as a group, to get the best photos / videos possible!

We will circle around and exit the LaCenterra shopping area on the West side of the parking lot, and head south (left) on Commercial Center Blvd. Then we will make a right on Westhiemer Parkway up to Katy Mills Pkwy (turn right), which will take us into the massive Katy Mills Mall parking lot. Here we will gather for a large group photo opportunity, with all of our Slingshots parked in a semi-circle, and our group standing in the middle. This should make for an amazing shot! It's all about the people in our sling fam and our passion for our slings that brought us all together! Let's show the world what Slingshot Houston is about.

Next stop is only one block away from Katy Mills at Mobile Innovations, for our Slingshot Party, hosted by one of our great new sponsors! We will have music, food trucks, and refreshments here as we party and hangout for a couple of hours and enjoy the highlight of the evening. Be sure to talk to Mobile Innovations about your next plans for your Slingshot audio or lights, and grab some Sling Life gear!

For the soldiers who are up for a late night ride and still have that itch go slingin, some of us will take a nice midnight cruise down Westhiemer, all the way from Katy to the Galleria Area, possibly downtown if we are up for it.

We have a few additional event sponsors to be announced next week! Stay tuned for those updates!

This should be a great time, with Sling Life video being recorded all night, hope to see you all out there!
Sling Safely! #SlingshotHouston #SlingLife #TexanSlingin

If 330hp is not enough ~> THERE WILL BE A PHASE 4!!

It wasn't for me. So....yeah in the process of completion for mine. Congrats on All the upgrades!! Enjoy it!

This has been a long long road and now into the tunnel with a glimpse of light at the end of the tunnel. QuickSilverSS arrives home the afternoon of August 12th 2017!!!

I can't wait to see the dyno numbers and more importantly see this thing on the road!! This is awesome!!

Does anyone have a copy of the "overview" and "specs" pages of the 2016.5 Turbo Silver SL? Polaris replaces same link with each year update. I'm wanting these for my personal records.

Hope someone here can help.

Let's talk trailers and trailer hitches. Manufactures, owners and installers of all available equipment please chime in. I'm looking to pull a triller with gear weighing about 200-400 lbs on long 400+ mile trips.

My name is Mark and I am up for connecting with other Slingshot owners in the Houston area . I have a 2016 Turbo Silver color Slingshot SL with a supercharger. Lots of mods and more on the way!!
This seems to be the perfect spot for all us Slingshot Houston folks to gather. Slingshot Houston was organized in Feb 2016 and now has grown to hundreds of Slingshoters. We organize local meets and rides and just
share experiences and joy of Slingshot life with each other.

Quote from rabtech

You got to give me more info on how it is running. I get people mixed up all the time. Is this not the same slingshot that is drag raced all the time and rips drive belts into pieces? It looks a bit rich and the plug that is cleaner than the rest is in the hot cylinder. So it would be a bit cleaner... If I'm correct about which SS this is, don't you have a Haltech and an AFR guage . Post some data so I can see how it has been running.

Not drag raced all the time. So a little far extreme description. I would be willing to bet I have less hard pulls on this sling than most guys with supercharger do in regular running the roads.
I only had 5 passes on this build. The Belt ripping is from an improper adjustment from the beginning, Now thanks to you (Rabtech) and Dave was able to lock in the belt to the exact spec and Dave nailed it. No problem since, no chain needed when belt is on correctly. Even with more HP we did not come close to messing up the new belt. Thanks , by the way...I was not on the phone call but I knew you were the one who helped look that up and get the specs. Then since I broke down so in all the "Testing" Trying to figure it out I decided to pull plugs to look at them as digital fixes were not helping. I am super stoked and excited to get it figured out on Saturday as Dave is on his way out here to deliverer someone else sling and pick up another. Well that is the obvious goal to get it figured out Saturday while he happens to be here. If not then I guess I will be waiting till the other one he is picking up get returned. I am hoping for the best of that scenario as we have all the diagnostics and plans in the works.

Anyhow all that had nothing to do with my original post. Merely just trying to see what others thoughts on the appearance of the spark plugs. Looks like I got that answer. Now that opened up more questions, however, I think that will be easier to understand on Saturday afternoon. Like Dave said in another post above. We will update.

So from what I gathered online (multiple replies) with suggestions from folks is some cylinder(s) running Rich some cylinder(s) running Lean, Problem with injectors, maybe not best spark plugs. What would cause the soot and water to come out of the exhaust in relation to the way the spark plugs look?

Miles about 500 on this built motor. It has Supercharger and lots of other goodies. I need to upload somewhere on here my full build list. I am also getting smoke out of the exhaust, when I rev up the throttle I get lots more white/gray smoke. You certainly can smell the exhaust. Makes it not fun to ride. FYI - I corrected the order of numbers of the cylinder to be less confusing.

Hey all, My Slingshot not running great right now. Take a look at these pics of the spark plugs. 3 Black Spark Plugs and 1 White Spark Plug. I just took them out today to look at them.

I have labeled them 1-4 and you will notice the 3nd one is "White" and the other 1, 2 and 4 are very "black".

What do you think is wrong?
