Well congrats to Aaron from Ohio who picked up my Ty today and drove it off into the wild blue yonder. It's been fun hanging with you guys, maybe I'll get rich again some day and pick another one up! Drive safe! -James www.rs25.com

Last night we were driving down a street and some guy in an Accord V6 comes up next to me at the light. He's got his windows down, radio up, and I give him a nod. As soon as the light goes green, he gets on it. I hadn't planned on racing, but I zero-boost floored it, caught up, and passed...

My oil pressure needle is pegged UNDERNEATH the bottom peg! It's like it swung all the way around, doing a 360, and is now stuck pushing UP on the bottom peg. At first I thought I had no oil pressure (EEK!) but then looked closely and noticed that there is no top peg, so it must have swung...

1992 Ty, all stock, 26k miles... So I am driving to the GF's place, and there is a section of road that goes from 3 lanes down to 2, with one of the original 3 being a right-turn only lane. After it goes across an intersection, you've got about 300 feet before it goes down to one lane. The...

So coming out of the mall last night with the GF we're sitting at a light, waiting to turn left. I look over and have to laugh, as there is a really big Japanese SUV. I tell the GF that it is so sad that the Japanese have started making these giant SUV's for the American market. The guy...

This is a little mantra to all those folks I go around. Like the guy in the Maxima yesterday. Yes, you, the guy who I rolled up on the right side of, then played with across the intersection. Did you notice that when we came to 100 feet of my lane ending, and since you did not go over to...

So coming out of the movie theatre I noticed a few guys and their girlfriends drooling over the Ty. When I walk up, the ask me the usual questions about the Ty and comment on it being very nice. I end up telling them the details and my date is looking kid of confused why I have a crowd of...

Ever notice the spray from puddles completely wipes out the sides of your SyTy? Big splash marks all over the doors and fenders.... Especially noticible, I assume, for black vehicles. This has been driving me crazy, as I always seem to have a puddle in my parking garage that I must drive...

So you know how you are pulling up to an intersection, and there are cars already waiting, but just one in each lane? Of course, you want to get behind the car that you think will pull off the line fastest, so you can break out of the traffic and pull in front. Right? Well, at least I do. So...

Cruising home this afternoon I came up to a bunch of traffic at a light. 4 lanes of it. Ugh. Funny, though, that there are like 20 cars in the left lane, then 15 in the next, 5 in the 3rd, and only one on the far right. Well, it's some black number, and is sitting kinda odd, so I figured he...

I'm getting ready to install a power window module for my alarm, and it wants to know what kind of power window system the truck uses, of these three (rough) varients: A: Both wires are open or grounded. 12v is provided to one motor wire, ground to the other. OR one wire will get 12v the...

Ok, so can anyone tell me where the fuel pump relay is physically located? Then, the boost cut-out relay - could this be used as a "poor mans valet" if disabled? I'm thinking that I could just wire in a little switch of some sort to make it boost inhibited when leaving it at shops, etc...

If you dare to put one on, that is, although I might consider this one... http://www.hackerstickers.com/products/sticker-0wn3d.shtml Whadda ya think? :D

I'm looking to hook up an alarm/pager soon, to prevent another break-in, and can't seem to find a decent wiring diagram. Does anyone have anything that has colors (duh) and locations for stuff? Specifically I want to know colors and locations for the usual alarm related suspects - fuel...

Wow, I found out something cool today, and a searched turned up nothing, so I thought I would share my little wealth. :) Sy Ty's are ride height adjustable, from the factory! For the front, look for a cam-shaped arm that comes off the torsion bar support. At the end is a nut and bolt...

Okay I'm going to replace my TEN YEAR OLD cap and rotor and noticed that things are pretty tight back there. Can anyone give me any tips? Here's what I was thinking: 1. Use a sharpie and number the spark plug wires at the cap 2. Remove the IC coolant line that goes over the cap 3. Remove...

I was reading this article and wondered if the Sy Ty line has a black box installed... http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=676&e=5&u=/usatoday/20030516/ts_usatoday/5165217 Just curious.

You know it's going to be one of those days when you walk out to your car and say "Hm, what's that crap on the ground next to my car?" and realize it's the remains of your window... That's exactly what happened to me this morning. Some asshats broke the rear window on the Ty, managing to...

As many of you know I just moved to Arlington, VA from Denver, CO and brought my Ty. :) Well, there was some discussion about PSI and air pressure and what not, and I'll tell you my Ty is NOTICIBLY faster down here at sea level. Driving it is like when I first drove it before. It is so damn...

Okay, As you may know I replaced my ball joints recently and the Chiltons manual said to tighten the bolts to 96 INCH/lbs. Well, yesterday while doing a mild boost lauch I heard an unnerving thunk. Sure enough, all the bolts on the lower ball joint have come loose and are not tight enough...
