I saw this truck in person at Ennis outside of Dallas a few years back. It is currently sitting in the Kenwood Outlet Store in Lewisville, TX. My friend's cousin works there and keeps an eye on it for me. He used to not pay it much attention, but after cruising around with me for a weekend when my friend was getting married, he was hooked

I have alot of pics of it that I need to scan.

[TYRODD]

Although I like the idea of paneling a 1st gen blazer/jimmy, that typhoon Is prolly the gayest thing Ive seen in a while, I mean that Sh*t is FLAMING!!!!

I saw that red Ty a few years back at a DB drag racing comp. in Nashville. The first thing i asked was "WTF were you thinking!!!". I asked the guy why he didnt just use a Jimmy or Blazer and he said that he had two Typhoons and the other one was still stock. He looked really young...im sure mommy and daddy bought it for him and he just had no respect for what he was given. Oh yeah....It was a real Ty.

Re: NOOOOOO! Another stereo comp Ty

Update:

Your never gonna believe this but a bud of mine called me from his cel as he works for the same company that this knot head works for. He met the guy (says hes a nice guy but hes still and idiot IMO) at a company get togeather in WV and found out some minor details about the ty.

1. It weighs ~8klbs according to the owner.
2. Has 50 batteries in it and hes adding more :roll: .
3. Stock drive line.
4. The cavities in the body are FULL of resin and other sound materials to keep it from rattling.
5. You cant see the VIN because of the metal retaining straps that are bolted around the plexiglass windsheild cover it (ALL the windows are like this BTW).
6. All the doors have "latches" welded around them to keep them from flexing and letting the db escape.
7. It is (well, was) a real ty.


Here's the good part IMO. The guy says almost everyone gives him crap about screwing up a Typhooon (well, DUUHHHH) and that if he knew how rare it was when he started he never would have modded it to this point. Too late now :roll: :roll: .

The bad part is my bud wont put me in touch with the guy so I can chew his ass out as I guess it would cause "issues" for for my bud at work. Dunno, but I'll keep pestering him till he finally comes up off some contact info for stereo boy. Once he does let the ass chewing commence.

FWIW my bud called and said the above stereo guy uses "TY170" for his log in on the company computer network so we are assuming that the concrete filled/ruined ty is number 170.

Thats all

All I can say is LAME!

Re: NOOOOOO! Another stereo comp Ty

I personally don't see what all the fuss is about. It is HIS truck and the work looked pretty nicely done. I'm not a loud stereo advocate but he could have used "great stuff" and pexiglass. So it is not a stock Ty.....neither are 80% of the Ty's out there. At least he is man enough to do what he wants to do without trying to please thousands of critics.

Re: NOOOOOO! Another stereo comp Ty

Personally I could care less if anyone else cares that this thread is old. I just got the call from stereo idiots cowerker today and posted it up in this thread since Ive been waiting that long on that info. If thats a problem then I dunno what to tell you.

I also dont care if it is his truck. Because its his truck he has every right to ruin it but being that we have free speach in this country I have every right to point out he's an idiot for doing so. If thats a problem then I DO know what to tell you...blow me.

Re: NOOOOOO! Another stereo comp Ty

Let's see if anyone remembers this name from the old stereo-competition days:

Tim Maynor

http://www.termpro.com/dbdrag/magazine/9706/maynor.html

He used to be all Rockford Fosgate-sponsored back in the day..a real piece of work! I've been to his shop...seen his work....too many drugs!!!

or even Mark Fukuda (undefeated)......

If you were going to do SPL...at least do it to a Blazer (as stated before).......

You should have a better command of the english language if you are going to publically express your "right" and point out someone else as an idiot. You're the first person I have ever observed spelling speech as "speach". Webster defines idiot as a ignorant person and he further defines ignorant as destitute of knowledge or education. Therefore, in condemning another, you have proceeded to condemn yourself so IMO, you aren't worth blowing.

Re: NOOOOOO! Another stereo comp Ty

Take it easy everyone....Its just a tweaked Typhoon. True, the owner should be downpipe-slapped, but it's nothing to go to war about:rotf:

You got my point I see so undoubtedly you had little trouble deciphering my uneducated drivel...and how do you know Im not worth it? Might just be the best stuff ya ever had :tup: .

BTW, the only thing I have "command" of is what is idiotic and whats not in the automotive world. By that command I hereby say that stereo typhoon guy is an idiot and further more he is proof positive that just because you have the money to do something doesnt always mean you should. Its called taste or in this guys case lack there of.
