Hi everyone, here is another update after a couple of SyTy weekends. Mark Kelly hosted me, Brett (Backzilla) and Marcus (MDH) at his house in Milton Keynes on the 4th of March, a week last Sunday. Hats off to Marcus who drove 2.5 hours from Bristol but it was equally impressive to see Brett at...

Been working on a friend's truck (MDH and his Syclone) this weekend.Truck has been getting really poor mileage so we checked the plugs. 1 was filthy so we thought maybe a sticking injector and cleaned it. We took the #1 lead off and had good spark. Took the plug out and it was filthy black, no...

Hi guys, Random question but I figured I'd ask! I am in my first year at med school in the UK and may be able to spend 4 weeks in New Mexico at Albuqurque University doing an internship in/around about July/August. I'm wondering if anyone has a spare room in return for a pair of hands and a...

Today I tried to install a PLX DM-6 multi gauge with a PLX 5M-AFR Boost gauge and the wideband O2 gauge as well. The wideband was ok - it started, the gauge booted up and it read the AFR ok but the boost sensor and gauge combo wouldn't work. Each module has a 4 pin MOLEX connector. The...

I'm posting on behalf of someone in the UK who just emailed me this... I wonder if the pump was crushed on install. What do you guys think?

My truck is in a garage under my Dad's house and there's a slope up the driveway. My truck hasn't been performing normally for a while now. I think it's stress related. Now and again I manage to get it up but I get excited and finish too soon and I make a mess in the garage with my tool...

Hi guys, I wired my PLX into the side of the heater controls and fed the cable through a 2cm hole. I hid the PLX device behind the radio where it has sat ever since. When I took the cluster out, I needed to remove the PLX so instead of taking out the radio bezel etc, I cut the wires to the...

What does a set of good condition caps go for? I doubt I can afford them but are these available? I had to drill mine off a while back due to seized lock bolts. :tdown:

Anyone seen a SyTySoGT on google street view?

Have they changed? I have a cool little flashlight (torch :D) from Brookstone that doesn't fit in my Typhoon lighter sockets but it fits perfectly in my girlfriend's Hyundai Santa Fe. I thought these were standard sized sockets?

What does yours work out at? Take the total amount of money spent on your SyTy since you bought it and divide that by the number of miles you've actually driven it. I think I am right around $22 per mile. Jeez... :D

Seeing as these are three common connections that we have to mess around with, I figured I'd make life easy and install rocker switches to make it easier to make/break these circuits. The people that installed my old alarm cut a hole in my dash for the security key fob and I've been struggling...

Hi guys, I am trying to replace the lock cylinder as the old one was broken but I ran into some difficulties. Basically, it all goes together but I can't seem to make the steering lock work. It seems like the locking pin isn't sticking out far enough and so it just spins. I've taken it apart...

How do you set the bin/TunerPro to read in PSI please? I have it setup and in the 4 monitor windows/dash, MAP is displayed as kpa which is a bit hard to read. Would this affect F29x and F77 as well or can they be left in kpa? EDIT: Just found out - scroll down to the section where it says...

Where can I get one please? Summit don't have them and Hood's not responded (recommended after numerous searches). Thanks!

Has anyone thought about replacing the MAP sensor and running a MAF sensor? As I understand it, MAP only detects pressure, so if you have a high temp intake charge then you can have a lot of pressure but very little mass of air. In theory I would expect a MAF to remove this issue - this...

Who is the new member called MoJo? I see a number of seemingly authoritative posts but I can't establish the background or credibility of the aforementioned member. Does he own a Ty? Does he own a Sy? Is it another one of DaveP's pseudonyms? What's the story? Like everyone, I welcome new...

I've read a couple of people have gone off and made custom grinds and then followed with some impressive dyno/track numbers. I also am led to believe that turbo cams are very different from n/a cams. Where do people get their info? Please can you point me to some links or ideas where I can...

I have a new antenna mount to go under the fender and a new nut to secure the antenna mount down. What I am missing is the black piece that goes above the fender. It has a moulded undersurface and a flat top. It is hollow, I assume, and you place it over the top of the antenna mlount. Once...

I had an AMAZING day yesterday... We went to the track with a friend and met another Sy owner on the way down when two guys at a petrol station pulled up, each in a Camaro. They were going to the track as well and asked if we wanted to follow them via their friend's place with some other...
