    How stock manifolds are (were) cast...

    I have always been curious and this video explains it better than anything I have seen. Obviously there weren't 3D printers in 1991 so I am guessing they made a mould for the sand moulds and did it that way. I'd love to know more about the process. tvAdanFWLew Hope some of you guys enjoy it too.

    Stock calipers - part number and source

    I've been searching for an hour and had no luck. I need to find a source and the correct PN for the stock calipers for my Syclone. It looks as though the remanufactured ones I got are incorrect. I have brand new stock rotors and pads and don't want to deal with upgrading right now so could...

    Huntington, WV... what's it like?

    Sort of an odd reason to ask but what is it like there? I will be starting my final year of med school in August and have the opportunity to live and work in the US for a month. One of the places I am looking at is Huntington, WV, for a 4 week obstetrics placement. It's going to be pretty...

    Wanted - 32 spline input shaft for 4l80e

    I have seen a few of these come up for sale recently so thought I'd ask in here as well! Why not dust off those shafts and offload them before Christmas? Sell them to a willing buyer ...like me! Anyone got any they want to part with? :D

    Sway bar mount warping the frame

    Has anyone else noticed where their sway bar is mounted that the bolts are warping the frame somewhat? It got picked up on my UK inspection and the guy suggested welding a plate over the area to strengthen it for the future. I didn't take a pic but it's in the back of my mind.

    Converter choice (another thread!)

    I was wondering if you guys had any input into my converter purchase as I am about to pull the trigger. Here goes... After logging my TC earlier this summer and seeing it was slipping and not stalling where I would like it, I have been scouring the web for options and have settled on Circle D...

    4l80e tear down and rebuild

    I was driving on the motorway on Friday at about 75 mph and the truck started slipping out of OD into 3rd and just revving really high and not going anywhere. If I lowered the throttle, it would upshift to 4th and then I had TCC lockup and was able to continue at 70 and above. Any more throttle...

    LMC Truck - American Truck Magazine

    I got an email that said they are looking for trucks to feature on the cover/in the magazine of American Truck. They're looking for pickups so Typhoons out but some of you guys have beautiful Syclones and SGTs (FauxGT for example :) ) Maybe someone can get a Sy/SGT into it. :dunno...

    Autometer EGT gauge - weird issue

    I have installed an Autometer EGT gauge mostly to fill the space on the console that I had. I had a weird issue where it would fluctuate in time with the turn signal. I figured that this was a bad ground so made a better connection and made sure it was directly to the frame. This seemed to...

    Driver side water leak in footwell... different problem!

    This is different from the leaves clogging up the channel... When the truck was painted, it looks like there was some kind of patch panel installed. It was kind of a shitty job to say the least. Does anyone know if the area is a double skin? It leaks into the cab despite me trying to seal it...

    Torque converters and rpm

    I have been looking at my logs and am a little anxious that I have the wrong TC in my truck. If I apply throttle with no brakes, I can reach 2400 rpm before the truck starts to move. This is the flash stall I believe. If I apply brakes, I have seen up to 3700 rpm and 13psi (on DM) but I have...

    Search

    When I search from my iPhone (ios4.x), the drop down menu (full mode, not mobile site) takes 3 goes. It appears then disappears, I tap again then when I type it disappears again. I have to tap it again, third time and it works. If I go to advanced or regular search, I get a white screen with...

    McGard 24526

    McGard 24256 Will these work on our trucks? I have the Oz Racing Monte Carlo wheels and need these for insurance and peace of mind. I am worried that they might be a fraction too shallow and not seat properly. Anyone used these?

    lower ball joints - why so bad?

    My truck went for inspection yesterday and failed, amongst other things, for its ball joints. I did a bit of reading up on here first but didn't find the answer I was hoping for. It seems widely acknowledged that our trucks eat up ball joints and I wondered if there was a reason why. My Dad...

    Sad news - RIP Martin Ockendon (radride93)

    I have some very sad news. Some of you may have met Martin and Ruth Ockendon over the years. Martin visited the US a while back and while he was there, he bought a Typhoon on an impulse in Washington state I believe. He has been around the syty community for a while and I had the pleasure of...

    Power to weight ratios

    I was reading a review of the new Lamborghini LP 700 Aventador and was interested to see the performance specs. LIke I am ever going to be able to afford one :roll: I was surprised to see that it weighed in at around 1625kg or about 3575lbs. That struck me as pretty heavy for a supercar. It...
