Re: Just another "CA Smog" question Nah you should be fine with the chip and 3 bar... I've passed with that before. I have a KB intake and a small air filter on the valve cover which kills condors and baby seals, and single use plastic bags fly out of my exhaust pipe as I get 11.3mpg... I...

Re: Post a pic of your truck taken today Part 2 Thanks Paul! The pic makes the paint look way better than it does in person haha. I just clayed the hood and roof, but I still need to hit it with some rubbing compound to bring it back to life, and this damn heat is not cooperating with my...

Re: Post a pic of your truck taken today Part 2 Just got my tint redone... new tint is 3%, so just a smidge darker than limo, and scored this pic when I got home...

Re: Workaround for 3rd party hosting block by Photobucket? use facebook... I've abandoned all social media, but I have no issues using a dummy account on that BS site for pic hosting.

Re: parting out a typhoon all must go the title sounds like he wants to part it out, and the post sounds like he wants to sell it as a roller... anyone heard back from him?

Re: What did you do to your SyTy today? (part 2) haha thanks Don! Some day it may be worth pulling the motor out of this thing just to get back all the tools I've dropped in the engine bay. Every time I drop something it turns into a game of "Plinko" hoping it falls through to the ground so...

Re: Sportmachines front coilovers vs jsm?? Thanks for confirming guys! ...and yeah definitely going viking.

Re: Sportmachines front coilovers vs jsm?? Quick question on any of these coil over setups... the stock front sway bar mounts on the underside of the stock a-arms, does the front sway bar still mount up to the coil over a-arms or are these kits so bad ass that we just remove that sway bar and...

Re: What did you do to your SyTy today? (part 2) Threw on my freshly refinished HM2's with some new lugs, and then promptly lost the lug key :roll:... not my day today. Tomorrow... window motors and hinge pins :shoot:

Re: What did you do to your SyTy today? (part 2) Nevermind the plasti-dip... that Dyno is taking me back! My buddy had that exact bike in black about 30 years ago! Love it!

Re: Window motor replacement write up from tyclone.com? I'm sure a tight fitting window would probably wear out a motor a little faster and cause it to go slower... but I've never changed anything other than the motor, and afterwords it worked like a champ! I haven't come across a motor...

Re: Window motor replacement write up from tyclone.com? Yeah, I considered that... but why waste $75 on a regulator if you don't need one? The only difference is that you might save 10 minutes of your time and $1 on a 1/4" nut n bolt. The rest of the R&R is exactly the same. I replaced both...

I had this whole write up saved on one of my old computers and has since been lost. Tyclone.com doesn't even exist anymore, did any of the old school guys happen to save that write up? I'm at the end of the rope with the driver's side window going up 1" every 5 minutes haha. I remember...

Re: Is There Any Cool Factor Left?? I think any cool factor involving these trucks died a long time ago, regardless of what motor is under the hood. These trucks don't draw the long stares from the barely legals like it did 25 years ago... instead you're lucky to get a 2nd glance from a guy in...

Re: AC problem help My Ty is converted to R134 and I literally just fixed this today... you're likely out of freon. If you still have the old R12 system... time to open thy wallet. Even if you can find a shop that still has R12 freon and is willing to recharge your system, you're gonna pay...

Re: rear window button I have the same problem... I looked at the syty service manual and the exploded view of the rear gate... I didn't see anything for an actuator that pops the glass. I checked the relay under the dash and that works and I hear the tailgate clicking, it's just not opening...

Re: Double din attempt The whole radio setup in these trucks is just a testament to how out of touch GM was and still is when it comes to electronics in their cars. I mean how long did it take for them to figure out bluetooth, usb, or even just an aux in for an iPod FFS? $15k POS Carollas...

Re: How to tint your Windsheild I asked my tint guy about this before and he said you don't want to do it, because you're automatically "at fault" in the event of an accident. Now if they could make polarized film that was like 95% clear or more... that'd be a game changer against those dbags...

Re: Nooblet signing in Ha! I always wondered what happened to this truck. I think the original owner was in Michigan or Wisconsin? It was up for sale back in Oct/Nov of 2000 with about 40k on the clock. Was gonna fly out there and drive it back, but he sold it before I had could get the...

Parked in front of a house on Malibu Rd... didn't have time to stop and check the VIN cause I was running late and trying to take a short cut around PCH. Aside from being a lil dusty, looked bone stock and in really good condition. Maybe it was Charlie Sheen's, if he even still has it haha...
