just curious how many in the jax area....ever go to gainesville raceway..? I purchased a new sy back in 91, used to race it out at Imeson on sundays, till that ended because of a kid getting killed by a drag racer. Just purchased a ty and wondering if many owners around here.

you need to get on the FL mailing list. There arent really any active members in the Jax area. Be nice to start something up. I head up most of the bigger FL meets, wrench sessions, etc.

Hit me up in a PM, give ya the details.

I've seen a black ty in orange park a few times, never had a chance to meet up with the owner though.

Probably Frank Peterson (not on the list that I'm aware of). I actually have his Typhoon with me right now (doing turbo upgrade, chip, etc...), but it's a black '93 with no roof rack, and a bug deflector. It was Robert Edwards' (St. Marys, GA) old Typhoon.

Cool, I'm in Sanford, across the lake from you. I'm going to look at a TY tomorrow or Sun over in the Disney area. I'm on the site trying to get some good info on what to look for when buying. I was given some great "buyer guides" in another thread. I was just looking to see if someone might be available to head out with me that might know a little better when buying a Ty.

So what did you find out this weekend? Are you now an official sy/ty'er?
I will be by this weekend. I went down last Saturday to look & drive the Ty. I've gotta tell you. It was my first time ever driving one, and it was far better than I ever expected it to be. :headbange I plan on swinging by SYO237 place before then. Just to meet & greet. :tup: Then after I get it, bring it by to show off, lol. ;) It's #1018 Ty, black on black. Here's a quik pic I took with my phone.

I know it's a bad pic, but it was raining, and I didn't want to look like a geek taking pix as he rolled up, lol. I also plan on selling my blazer to help fund the purchase of the Ty. That should be sold by this weekend as well.
