    Where to find a spare wheel and tire for underneath?

    Does anyone have any tips on where to find a spare wheel for the Sy? I saw one listed on ebay by a salvage yard, but it's a 16" and is listed for Syclone Typhoon. Since the truck specifically lists a 225/60R15 as a spare, I don't think I'll be trusting any salvage yards to provide the correct...

    Exhaust Question

    My exhaust is stock from the converter forward with a straight pipe from the converter back. It definitely isn't too loud, but I do think it drones too much at highway speed for my tastes. I plan on ordering an ATR exhaust from RK when I get around to it.

    Modded 92 Eclipse GSX goes down!

    Excellent kill story, especially walking him at the top end! I always hear that those DSMs can be pretty quick, so apparently it's true. Just out of curiosity, why are you running the Xylene mix and still 15psi? I'm getting ready to drop some Xylene in mine, but with the intent of bumping up...

    cobra for dinner....but dinner was cut short

    Florida Statute 316.191: "Drag race" is defined as the operation of two or more vehicles from a point side by side at accelerating speeds in a competitive attempt to outdistance each other, or the operation of one or more vehicles over a common selected course, from the same point to the same...

    lost to a new WRX.....

    I agree with axxe and maxtor, either the Ty is running bad, the WRX had mods, or a little of both. There is no way my WRX can come close to matching my Sy from a stop. Not only that, but the WRX's shifter/clutch combo has to be the worst I've ever used, making for a tough launch and 1-2 shift...

    Silver Corvette Z06 vs. Syclone

    Is the Z06 really that much faster than the standard C5 in a street race? I know the specs are better, but does that translate into a few lengths over a standard model? I'm just wondering, because I've beaten a couple C5s on the street in the Syclone at only 15-16psi, so it seems the Syclone...

    What does it take to beat an LS1 in the 1/4???

    I would say that they usually will get you from point "A" to point "B", but being properly tuned with all engine controls and accessories working properly is another matter. The thing I would watch out for is the fear factor - fear of damaging something that is difficult and expensive to...

    What does it take to beat an LS1 in the 1/4???

    I think if you compare modified with modified, you'll find the LS1 to be much faster in the 1/4. It's probably very close stock vs. stock, but I think the F-bodies respond better to mods, once the traction problem is addressed. This is in the context of a 1/4 mile race, not a street race. My...

    Kicked a SHO's ass

    Super High Output. It was basically a somewhat limited production Taurus with a Yamaha 3 liter, DOHC, 24 valve V6 in it. I think they were rated about 220hp from the factory. During the jelly-bean redesign, they dumped the V6 and stuffed a V8 in it, but it never really delivered the...

    SyTy vs WRX

    I almost hate to bother posting in this ridiculous topic, but I would give the edge to the GMC in a 0-60 race, even if the Subaru is modded. I have a Sy and a WRX (stock), and off the line it is no comparison. If I really want to hammer the WRX and dump the clutch it will launch hard, but I...
