Well, not really, I have had it for @ 3-4 weeks at this point, but today was the first time I got it registered and tagged and drove it to work for the first time.
First, thanks for the site.
This is a great wealth of info, and the interaction I have had here so far has been great.
Bought this Syclone about a month ago with some decent work/mods done.
It has a rebuilt motor and trans that were done at @ 75K miles.
The truck currently has 92,XXX on it.
Nothing special, basically a stock rebuild of both.
Mods already done:
-Bilstien shocks and struts
-Mini-starter
-Lowered with blocks in the rear, torsion bars in front.
-Fuel filter
-Accel 8mm spark plug wires
-Borla catback exhaust
Came with, but I installed:
-MSD cap and rotor
-MSD coil
-Racetronix harness and
-Walbro 255lph fuel pump
What I have done since I got it:
-Pulled bed off (for FP) and used POR15 on every part of frame I could get to. Looks a million times better underneath. I am a bit anal retentive and the surface rust and crud from over the years was an eyesore at the very least.
-Oil pressure sending unit
-K&N conical filter
-Trick Flow rear girdle
-Did bed with Herculiner, another big step in the looks department.
-18x9.5" Chrome ZR1 reps with Dunlop 275/35/18's (Thanks sy1172)
Bought, but needs to be done:
-AFPR
-UR6 plugs
-Silicone vacuum hose kit
-Tonneau cover
Here are some pics below....
Hopefully I can keep this one for awhile. I bore very easily of cars/trucks. I kept the TY that I had before for less than a month before deciding on something else to mess with.
This should be around for a bit longer at least.
And here is a pic of the other turbo car, this ones my baby...
93 Mustang GT, 408W with 80mm turbo, and wayyy too much money into it.
Needs to be painted and tuned(sitting waiting for paint right now).
With too small of a wastegate, it made 650rwhp at @ 4300RPM.
Shooting for 700rwhp on conservative boost and tune, running 93 octane.
Thanks again for having me, and hopefully will be here a little longer than last time. :lol:
