    A SCAM?? Someone wants my Truck, interesting way though.

    Anybody with more wants than $$ needs to chill the F out and calm down. This guy is one of them (or a scammer). Dont try to purchase stuff you cant afford, period. If not, go to a bank. Simple solutions for simple problems. Dont get scammed. Its obviously a scam. And dont give him your...

    Two Red Syclones on Ebay

    Agreed. One has mileage 9066 and the other 6609. Let me guess, his third Syclone 2066 has mileage 6099 too right?... This guy likes 69 too much. Obviously a scam. You want to lose 20-40 grand? Go ahead and play with him. If you are close to Vegas (like I am) just call his bluff and drive...

    Ebay Typhoon...thats different!

    The fitment of that kit looks decent IMO. Not perfect, but close enough. I would drive it. You can purchase kits from almost anywhere (Ebay, vendors galore, etc.). Katzkin is a brand that I have heard people use a lot. I have heard the leather is medium quality at a medium price. You can...

    $ Value of a Typhoon?

    Thank you for the replies. Smaug, I know about your project. I have read all of your recent posts (I see you on here everyday responding). I know you are in Jersey. If you were closer...we would prolly get together. As it stands, I doubt I will pay a $600+ tow bill for a car I cant...

    Testdrove a Sy. Found a problem. Maybe Ty's for me?

    Thanks for the replies everybody! Suspicions...confirmed. The thing is, I want to use the Ty as my spare car. Basically, it will just sit there, under a cover and I will drive it every week or two I imagine. I mean, I could get by with a Sy, but why? If my goal was to build a 10 second...

    $ Value of a Typhoon?

    I am going to start looking at Typhoons. I am located in Southern California. I have seen Typhoons go for as low as $5k-8k running to as high as $15k-20k mint condition low miles I guess. Is this a fair and accurate price schedule? Sy's IMO, go for $10k with everything there 100k mi and...

    Testdrove a Sy. Found a problem. Maybe Ty's for me?

    Im a tall guy. 6' 2" minimum. My legs are long. I just dont fit in regular cab S-10 trucks easily. Now I know why I have a fullsize extra cab (duh, its comfy). I testdrove a Sy today and it wasnt the most comfortable. At this point, I would like to drive a Typhoon to see the comfort...

    Syclone I am looking at has dual heat exchangers up front...

    My friend has a Sy. I offered to purchase it, we made a deal pending my testdrive. (no insurance, so cant drive it, california laws, testdrive tomorrow) I looked over the vehicle and I noticed it has dual heat exchangers in the front. I commented about it, and he said he added a larger...

    Drivability

    I am new to SyTy's, but not GM. My experience with turbocharged vehicles are 300zx Twin Turbos (one of the most complicated engine/turbo combinations). I can tell you this, your driveability will be directly affected by your tune. That is, the actual code on Ultimates 3 bar chip. You say...

    Longtime Lurker, First Time Trolling Through.

    Now why wouldnt I want the seats? I mean, I would want to DRIVE the truck. And I would keep the stock parts no matter what. Syclone is a true collector vehicle. I believe I am going to buy this one. I think I will buy this Syclone, do all the questionable stuff for about 2k at once (cheaper...

    Hi Wade, AKA TY2185. I know you from PA&A. I think I am buying a Sy. I gotta work out the deal with this guy. Surely he will take the $$. I paid him cash to put bodywork, Cadillac taillights, and about to pay him for the Sy. He is making out big time. =) Eric L.

    Longtime Lurker, First Time Trolling Through.

    Hmm. Ok. The only thing though, is this truck is a bit rough around the edges. For example, I wonder how many snakes/birds/mice live in the intercooler thing. I cant drive the truck until I CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN. I guess $ 7,500 is a bit low, but that is going to be my offer. I may pay up to...

    J/K. Im not a troll. Im an actual GM owner. I own a 1997 ECSB 2wd and am about to purchase a 1974 4x4 Chevy. Enough about chevys, how about some Sy's. I am looking into purchasing a black Sy w/ 87k and completely stock. The condition is ok, and it has been sitting outside. The truck has a...
