Re: What somewhat thick, light gray plastic is under the truck? That's what that is... Driving through georgia, that piece flew out from under my truck... turned around to pick it up but I never figured out what it was... until now... Thanks!

Re: Plate opinions MYPHOON is probably taken somewhere, or RICEATER...might get this for either of my cars, but I'll probably get keyed,

As some of you know, my ty is getting a tune-up(parts come in about an hour from now), and so I'm borrowing my dad's for the time being. And here's my question, is there a difference between ty's? Mine seems to have a lesser turbo "jump" and a seemingly stronger high end. Driving my dad's on...

Re: Finally Got myself a Ty Nope, my dad keeps his as his daily driver and salt warrior. He really doesn't see anything too special about it, other than the fact nobody has outdone it yet.

Re: Let the confusion begin! It's one of those things I've never dealt with... this is my first car with power anything. As far as I can tell the motor is shot, it goes down just fine, but won't go back up, it just makes the sound and sputters upward, then stops about two inches later... I've...

Re: Newbie! It helps to know a whole lot when looking/buying. The minor issues on these are endless, and alot of those little things can turn into big ones in a hurry. Once you buy, expect to be paying at least about a grand in fixing up some of the little bits like hoses, plugs, wires...

Re: Let the confusion begin! btw... boostedpimp, Where can I get a sign like that one in your avatar? That's great!

Re: Let the confusion begin! These guys have been working on my dad's since he bought it new 12 years ago. One of the mechanics is in love with the sy/ty, can't aford to own one, but gets excited every time he has a chance to work on it. So far they've only done the best of work, the only...

Well, set up an appointment at the shop today to take care of a few odds and ends on my ty. Unfortuneatly, it's the same shop where my dad takes his(which is getting a tune-up now too). So I called, and they said that I just called too see if my truck was done, and thought it was odd to be...

Well, I had a noise coming from the right rear wheel on a right turn under acceleration. Thought it was the leveler, but after disconnecting the sound changed from an almost ABS pumping sound to a grinding sound(taking that out fixed some other noises though)... almost like something is...

Just wondering what size speakers are in the dash and backseat. Want to keep an eye out for some new ones. Got my ty with a Blaupunkt(sp?), and I think it blew out the speakers... I guess I listened to Govt Mule a bit to loud yesterday... oops.

Re: Summer Fling 05<---Michigan I might have to show up... now that I have a ty. It'll be a bit beatup, but I'll want to see what to look forward to.

Re: Finally Got myself a Ty Yep... That's the one. And yes I saw the odometer thing. But after a cleaning the injectors with some additive, that truck runs better than my dad's 78k ty(and he's ungodly maticulus about maintaining his). And in the condition it's in, I can't beleive that the...

Okay, this should be easy. Does anyone have a list of all needed fluid types/brands that should be used. I'm replacing EVERYTHING this week, and want to make sure it's right. And when I say everything, I mean it, oil, coolant, trans fluid, brake fluid, diff. fluid, and even the washer...

Re: Finally Got myself a Ty Heck yeah, I'm keepin' the Olds! Although I do need to toss a bit of time and $$$ at it so it'll keep up with the ty now...

Re: Finally Got myself a Ty If I can get that kinda money for it... I'll sell it in a minute. And last I checked, no ty was ever produced with an 8 cylinder.

Re: Cat-back suggestions. There might still be some at a store somewhere though. If one is better, I want to know. I'll spend the time scavenging to find what is best for my ty.

Looking to replace the exsisting exhaust. Right now it has a dual pipe that is quite restrictive. Wondering what people have, or what you've heard about different systems. Right now I'm looking into ATR or Borla. But it doesn't look like Borla does tys anymore... hoping I can find a system...

Re: Finally Got myself a Ty Sorry, No pics yet... I need to get a camera one of these days. As for the sig., it's on the glovebox. Helped out in kentucky too. Driving home, I got pulled over and the cop let me go after seeing good 'ol Dale's scribble. He never heard of a typhoon, so I had...

Well, It's a done deal. I just got home from Florida this weekend, the proud owner of a 93 black Typhoon with 26k miles signed by Dale Earnhardt. Other than a smacked cladding and needing a tuneup very badly, it's in great condition. Other than that, all it needs is a real exhaust and a few...
