Re: TYPHOON #0147 STOLEN! Hey, I've got pictures of Ty #0147 too. Follow this link to view just a few of the pics I took of it when I was the owner. http://www.lafayettemotorsports.com/cars.cfm?loc=detail&cid=12

Re: TYPHOON #0147 STOLEN! (Found again 2 years later) Re: TYPHOON #0147 STOLEN! (Found again 2 years later) Yeah, the fuel pump was my guess too. The VIN that was retagged starts with "MVIN" and then some numbers and from what the State Farm rep said, that's what they do if they recover a...

Re: TYPHOON #0147 STOLEN! (Found again 2 years later) Re: TYPHOON #0147 STOLEN! (Found again 2 years later) Thanks for understanding, Jimmy. I have contacted my insurance company and they gave me the rest of the details. The truck was recovered sometime after my claim was settled. I'm not...

Re: TYPHOON #0147 STOLEN! (Found again 2 years later) Re: TYPHOON #0147 STOLEN! (Found again 2 years later) I can't believe I'm back on this board with yet another chapter in the life of Typhoon #0147. 2 years after she's stolen from me, I get a call from a friend who lives in Monticello...

Yeah, the 15K was a good result on the claim. I cannot complain about that one bit. I paid Aaron $11,500 for it and with sales tax and registration costs plus the few mods I made like wheels/tires, k & n filter, and a replaced ignition tumbler, I didn't really make any money on the deal, I...

You got that right, man.....IT SUCKS BIG DONKEY BALLS! My dealings with State Farm on the claim were all but painless. I was VERY surprised to tell you the truth. I figured on a knockout-dragout battle to the 12th round with them over how much it was worth, and it didn't end up that way at...

I kinda let this thread go a few weeks ago by accident..... To make a long story short, I've never received ANY information as to the whereabouts of what used to be Typhoon #0147. I'm sure it's in a billion pieces by now and part of many other trucks somewhere in this crazy world we live in...

Nope! Nope! I haven't heard a damn thing about where the truck ended up or anything. It's almost like I never even owned it the heist was so clean...... Now, my claim is going to be handled as a total loss and I get to fight with my insurance company on it's value. Me and the wife are...

Re: Black Typhoon in downtown Indianapolis Did you happen to see what type of wheels the Ty had on it? I just had my Blk/Blk Ty stolen last week and they haven't recovered it yet. This would be a good lead if it matches up. Check out this link for the details...

Let me just say this. I am not blaming this board or anyone else for my misfortune. I cannot point fingers at anybody because I have absolutely no leads on who took it, only opinions. I know that this is the correct answer to all this. I only owned the truck for 4 months, and all the work I...

Re: Thanks for the sentiments, guys Re: Thanks for the sentiments, guys I wasn't implying anything Aaron. I just thought you'd see this as interesting since you were the previous owner of the truck. By the way, what does "resting quietly in a field" mean in your signature?

I'm there dude! I'm there dude! Everybody I know has been rubbernecking around town trying to find it. But I think everybody would agree that there is a slim chance to none that this truck is anywhere close to where I live now. I think they should start using the amber alert system to...

Jimmy.....calm down man....I am not pointing fingers at anybody. I have just developed this senario in my mind of why somebody would steal this vehicle, that's all. This is what I'm most upset about in this whole ordeal. I am upset that this vehicle is a collector item and is rare, so parts...

Thanks for the sentiments, guys Thanks for the sentiments, guys I can only hope that it gets found in one piece. I haven't heard a peep from the law enforcement yet about it. What I fear the most is that it is one of our own.....somebody who either is or has been a part of this group that...

Happened while I was sleeping last evening (10/6 or 10/7). 1992 Typhoon VIN: 1GDCT18Z2N0810147 Black/Black 2000 Camaro SS wheels (silver painted) Got Boost? sticker on back hatch GMC Motorsports sticker lower right More pictures found on my website below. Keep an eye out for me. If I...

No, the boost doesn't drop at all speeds and gears. As a matter of fact, if I'm in OD and then kick it down gently the boost stays rock steady wherever it enters at. Just baffles me to no end, but then again, these are turbo V6's and they are b!tchy motors. I'm probably making a mountain out...

Hey Aaron! Hey Aaron! Nice to see you back up on the board bud. I am fully aware of the factory boost gauge issue, as it is exactly the same as my Grand National was. Trust me when I say this is not a "gauge" issue, but a seat-of-the-pants one. I actually feel the boost rise then fall and...

Thanks, Jimmy. I knew you'd chime in.....you always find my posts somehow. You must have REALLY loved this truck. Nowadays she rides on 2000 Camaro SS rims which give it a much better look IMO. On a rainy day I'll try to take the inner fender well out and see if my wastegate is my problem...

Good point Daron! Thanks for that insight. I've never removed the inner fenderwell on this truck. How hard is that to do? Man, this thing is SO much harder to work on than my GN.....and I thought it was bad. :o

Good stuff!! Good stuff!! Hmmmmm........ :roll: I have not opened the exhaust on the truck myself, and the previous owner didn't tell me that the cat was gutted or anything. I have knowledge of how boost works and how wastegates work, as I have owned and modified a Buick Grand National for...
