    Picked up a Typhoon, needs some work...

    Re: Picked up a Typhoon, needs some work... Here is a quick update if anyone is reading... Regarding the Torsion bars, for some reason one was adjusted almost all the way up, and the other side all the way down. I cranked the both a few turns back to the middle of the range and evened them...

    Picked up a Typhoon, needs some work...

    Re: Picked up a Typhoon, needs some work... Thanks for the welcome. I've been lurking for years. I considered buying a Syclone right before I got the Lightning, but they wanted $12k and it had 120k miles and had been rolled and rebuilt. The drivers door was the only original sheet metal. They...

    Ironically 2 of my friends just got 03' Lightenings ....

    Re: Ironically 2 of my friends just got 03' Lightenings .... I had an '03. I only ran it in the 1/4 mile a couple of times. 13.7 @103 MPH. I might have shaved a couple more tenths off with more practice, and abuse on the launch. I didn't have a whole lot of traction issues though, those stock...

    Picked up a Typhoon, needs some work...

    Re: Picked up a Typhoon, needs some work... Yep, I was wondering how long it would take for someone to notice. It's 1312. See the VIN Carfax forum.

    Picked up a Typhoon, needs some work...

    Re: Picked up a Typhoon, needs some work... Yeah, I have been reading up on these things for a little while. I know the pumps aren't great. When I was looking at it tonight it looks pretty small physically, compared with the ones on my old Lightning and now on the GTO. I read they usually...

    Picked up a Typhoon, needs some work...

    Re: Picked up a Typhoon, needs some work... It seems to be running better now. It is still missing, but not bad enough that the whole truck is shaking quite as bad. I think the spark plug wires are still the original ones! I'll try to get a new set tomorrow and see if that helps any. The...

    Picked up a Typhoon, needs some work...

    Re: Picked up a Typhoon, needs some work... That vacuum diagram does not show the boost controller, but they do have a picture of it in the beginning of the gallery; and that is how mine is connected now. The pictures in the thread don't have anything to do with the boost controller as far...

    Picked up a Typhoon, needs some work...

    Re: Picked up a Typhoon, needs some work... There are no other boost controllers other than the stock one, nothing else is attached to the turbo or wastegate. I don't know about the actuator rod adjustment, I have not had a chance to look at it yet, I just picked the Typhoon up last night...

    Picked up a Typhoon, needs some work...

    High guys. I came across a Typhoon for sale that I could not pass up the chance to own. The truck is completely stock as far as I can tell, it just has higher mileage. and a very grimy engine. It has some idle problems and hesitates, but seems to run OK once you are above idle, at say 1500RPM...

    Graveyard pics, link, I cant find it....

    Does anyone know more about the Syclone in this pic? From the looks of the damage, and the fact that the stickers are removed, it might be the truck I was looking at mentioned in my "Considering a Syclone" post. It looks like the windsheild says "good title" which makes sense, the VIN checks...

    Considering a Syclone....

    Actually A friend of mine the the SC club had a Carfax account. It is showing with not problems in it's history at all. It also says there were only two titles issued (two owners). The second one was issued in April 2002 in the town where it is for sale now. Sounds like the original owner...

    Considering a Syclone....

    You know that is EXACTLY the price I had in mind before I actually talked to them. I am planning on giving them another call to see if they will come down a LOT on price. According to Edmunds.com the market value of an average condition Syclone with that mileage is about $8k, then factoring in...

    Considering a Syclone....

    I just spoke with someone there on it. They are asking $12.5k. It was in a "light roll over accident" and they had replaced the left door, left fender, hood, and roof panel. The guy claimed it was running good though. I'm going to have to think about this one. That is much more than what I was...

    Considering a Syclone....

    What is the CCHE? I am in Fenton MI, a little bit south of Flint. It was locked up, with no one around, and not even any contact info. I couldn't take a look under the hood. I couldn't see much from underneath because it was so low, lower than my T-bird, and it was parked in a muddy parking...

    Considering a Syclone....

    I have been toying with the idea of selling My T-bird SC and getting a Lightning (sorry guys.) But this weekend while visiting my parents we drove by a truck I thougth looked like a Syclone. I started thinking I might like that better than the Lightning so we went back to look at it. It seemed...
