    Lost my sanity - cut off exhaust - any thoughts?

    I recently encountered more stress than I could handle, so that is my excuse for cutting the exhaust at the turbo on my daily driver stock Syclone. It is unbearably loud, and I expected it to boost 25 psi and blow up, but only boosts 10-11 psi at a little more than half throttle. Is it because...

    good run with boosted Mazda

    It was a (relatively) cold Florida evening. I was on my way home from helping out with a friend's car, with about 75 lbs of tools in the Sy. I see an orange turbo Mazdaspeed Protege pulling out to get on the long empty two lane road I'm on. I slow down enough to make it obvious I'm waiting for...

    What's the deal with the stock SY suspension?

    Mine has 37k miles on it (it sat for a while), and it clunks/clicks/buckles, just sounds horrible. Feels like the wheel will fall off any minute, pulls and the tire wobbles. Never been hit and currently my diagnosis is control arm bushings. I have a set of 8 new stock ones that I will install. I...

    Smoke and hesitation problems

    My Sy has 37k miles on it, daily driven hard and very well maintained. It has always smoked a little on morning start-ups, but lately there is a big puff of light grey smoke on every cold start. My co-worker at the Chevy dealer says it's valve stem seals. The truck runs very strong and good most...

    Want to eliminate EGR - help please

    I would like to eliminate the EGR on my Sy. I have searched this forum, and I understand that there is a block off plate I can get, and also certain chips will disable the valve. I would like to block it off, and plug the vacuum line that goes to it (I guess). My questions: Where can I get the...

    killed by C6, put up decent fight

    I was in my daily driven stock Sy when I got stuck at a red light with a burgundy 6 speed C6 Vette. I started messing with him (brake boosting a little), but he ignored me. I halfway launched but he didn't so I let off, but when he noticed my agressive hop forward, he nailed it so I got back on...

    S2000 stories

    I daily drive a stock Sy. The other day I went to Sears to pick up a large cabinet for work (I am a GM technician). As you can imagine, it barely fit in the bed, but it all fairness, didn't weight too much. As ridiculous as it may have looked, little truck with huge appliance looking box in the...

    Noise driving me INSANE !!!

    I have suffered with this a while. I have had the ball joints replaced, front shocks, tie rod ends, everything looks good and is lubed. There is a very bad clunk when I back out of my driveway slowly, slightly turning. It feels like the truck's "knees are cracking", it is very loud and nasty...

    truck runs very bad - spark plugs or chip?

    I have a Sy with 31k miles on it, hi-flow cat, drop in k&n filter and a 10n1 chip (with a 3-bar map of course). I just replaced the cap and rotor, but not the plugs and wires (been on backorder FOREVER from ATR). It runs perfect stock, but with the chip it ran very bad until I realized that I...

    Hello FAST members. I am a newbie on this forum. My wife and I have a nice Syclone that we are scared to drive because I am afraid the wheel will fall off. Here is a link to my description of the problem. I know that most shops do this fairly simple repair, heck even my neighbor has done it to...

    Ball joints trying to kill me and the Sy??? :(

    There is a clunk increasing in intensity over time that comes from the front left wheel when I am backing out of a parking spot or making low speed turns. There is also mild vibtation of that side of the hood at highway speeds and I can hear the ball joint when I shake the wheel by hand. I just...

    Lost to a Porsche Carrera GT

    In my stock Syclone. No suprises. Was filling up at Amoco and the (assuming) owner of the station came by to show off his car to his buddies. He said it was $500,00.00. It was silver and very loud. Mostly carbon fiber, including parts of the engine (in the rear), interior, and exhaust. It had...

    New owner - help please (coolant temp & knock)

    I got my Sy last night. Before starting it I installed a new battery, an AC oil filter and 6 quarts of Mobil 1 (too much I know). After extensive testing I find that: 1. Coolant temps are too hot for me to be comfortable with. It never approached 260 so far, not even the last section, but it...

    New owner - need advice

    Hello, I just purchased an Syclone and did quite a bit of research before registering and posting on here. This is what I've gathered, please correct what I got wrong or feel free to add to it. Syclones are very fast, especially from a launch. The 280 horsepower is quite underrated. They have...
