Well here we have 94 octane gas, so that will definatly help! I tried searching around to see what that chip does exactly and what benefits it has, but couldn't find much info on it. What kind of cool things does it do? :D So having it run mid-12's won't be hard on the AWD system?

Looking at getting a Syclone... something stock and around 50,000 miles. How reliable would these trucks be to have running in the mid-12's but still use as a daily driver? Would only be hitting the track maybe 2-3x a year, so nothing excessive. The occassional street run for fun too though...

I need advice BIG TIME!!! LOL! I'm a virgin at importing from the US!

Yup that's the one :) I would buy it NOW if it wasn't such a pain to import to Canada! This is my only turn off :(

Well found a sweet Syclone in the New Jersey area, and I want to make the buy. However, since I don't know much about these trucks yet, and I am far from a mechanic, I thought I would see if anyone is around the New Jersey area and could possibly check out the truck for me or with me when I...

Hahahahah! I don't know many 6-lettered cuss words! :P OK, so I found a nice Syclone in New Jersey, which isn't too far away. Butttttt... importing into Canada seems like a HUGE pain in the butt. Anyone do it recently with a Syclone and know the process? Maybe a dealer here can import it...

Wow good eyes! Didn't notice the decals were on wrong haha! Well from checking the history... it had 11x,xxx miles on it when he purchased it in March of 2002. So, he must of been the one that lowered the odometer!

I checked the VIN... last odometer reading on 03/29/2002, was 119,759 miles. It was advertised as having 70,000 miles. So, definatly some tampering going on here. Staying away from this truck!

Got the VIN: 1JDCT18Z0N0812074 Asked for the colour code from in the glove box, but he said there is no sticker there. :o

Waiting to hear back from him with the VIN and paint code. :) This is the one you mentioned in another post though, in Moncton. What about the inside looks rough btw? Thanks!

This is the one I am looking at, so if your guy is still around there, I would love some help! :)

Thanks for the info! I guess I will wait to see what the paint code is, to see what the original colour was. Only concern is that I was told it was the original paint. In the meantime I will keep an eye out for other Syclone's and Typhoon's for sale not too far from me!

Damn, I was looking for something all original. I am weary of repaints since there might be something hiding (like an accident in the past). I asked for the paint code in the glove box so I will wait and see what colour it was originally.

70,000 miles, asking around $17,000 CDN (which is like $12,500 USD). Just want to make sure it's original paint and not a repaint - but looks like this is not an original colour?
