Re: Needed.......Cocky SyTy Saying ????? Just a thought for those with built trucks... "My pickup is quicker than your Enzo." Feel free to insert fast car of your choice: McLaren, Carrera GT, Murcielago, etc... I've always wanted to make some shirts to raise some eyebrows... This...

Re: Post a Picture of Your SyTy Licence plate Heh, that was my old one as well... I'm going to get more creative with my next couple plates. I think once the build-up on the black on is done I'll take it to the dyno and get a ballpark figure so I can get a plate that says "XXX BPH" or...

Re: Some Race Pics Man, that truck looks serious, which it obviously is... What's with the fog light cut out on the passenger side? Just improving fresh air flow to the inlet? I've talked to people trying to create a sort of "forced-air" duct using similar techniques, only to find that the...

Re: Replacement of window inner seal (felt strip)?? I guess I'll post again, since mine disappeared earlier... I used some heavy duty staples from my staple gun to hold the piece on. I clamped the piece in place using some vice grips and drilled a bunch of holes (spaced approx. as wide as the...

Re: A2a B.s. If you can find a place that has a bead rolling machine that might be a decent option. Most shops that have that sort of thing will do it for minimal cost, if not free. The hardest part is finding someone with one. You could always ship the tubes out for it too, at least, if the...

Re: Rebuild and Trenny Questions Re: Rebuild and Trenny Questions I'd go with some decent forged internals. JE or SRP pistons with some H-beam rods will do pretty well. You'll definitely break the trans with that setup, so putting a TH350, 400, or 4L80E would be a good idea. What kind of...

I went ahead and bought the exact same A2A IC that epix purchased and threw it in the truck (31" x 12" x 3"). I wanted to keep the A/C at least for now (AZ summer's right around the corner), so I had to modify the core support and grille fascia pretty extensively to fit it up front. It's a bit...

Re: Is there a way to get rid of injector tick? I really doubt the false knock is from injector ticking. I just tell people that the injectors are crazy high-performance units that are so powerful that you can hear them working. :) If injector tick is your main concern, then your truck must...

Re: worst day ever...truck wrecked If you want to, I have a complete Sy roller if you're interested. It's the remnants from my Sy body swap, so it has an actual Sy VIN on it. Plus it's local. :)

Re: Failed Emissions today, BAD! That's funny. I was going to say in my previous post, "You didn't talk to Nick, did you?" but I refrained. The AZ Buick guys are kind of a divided group as far as philosophies go. Nick and his 'older' crew (Dick, Jack, Woody, etc...) are more Buick purists...

Re: Failed Emissions today, BAD! You have two options since you're in AZ... The first is a gallon of this stuff from Home Depot. Throw it in with a 1/4 tank of 86... It'll bring your hydrocarbons WAY down. It's the only way I could get my truck through for years... or... Call up your...

Re: Truck won't start I second that idea... Either that or possibly the distributor hold-down came loose and it spun, but that's a stretch. I definitely replace the ignition module first, it's cheap.

Re: Need to tighten up steering, need recomendations....... If your steering wheel has a lot of lateral play there are also 4 torx-head bolts that hold the column together that like to back themselves out over time. There's a decent write-up around here on how to fix it.

Re: Chilly! (pic) It's hard to imagine what it's like in other parts of the country. I'm having a hard time trying not to burn myself grabbing tools that I left in the truck yesterday.

Re: Another mini-SyTy'er on the way! Someone hasn't seen Orgazmo... ;) Single women from England...NICE!!! I speak fluent British... :D I'll talk with Nick and PM you .

Re: Another mini-SyTy'er on the way! I can already see the conversations that could arise in high school should you have a girl... "Dad says that you can only date me if you beat his Jimmy in a race..." :D Then again, having a boy could result in similar "My dad's truck is faster than your...

Re: TY in Scottsdale The Garnet/Gray belongs to csx turbo's girlfriend. He's on the board and also has a Ty himself. I spoke with them briefly last week. No clue on the Sy though... I'm sure the owner will surface once their truck starts falling apart. :)

Re: Cab weight? The cab weighs about 500 pounds. I used a 1000 lb. hoist to raise mine with no problems.

Re: Since bowtie blocks are discontinued, what's next for powerful SyTy motors? I live about a mile away from TA Performance. The owner stops in at the Pavilions car show from time to time. I'll pop my head in one of these days and mention it. He makes a very good product, but you're going...

Re: New guy, building a Sy-clone ...not to mention that if you're doing a decent buildup on either truck, Sy or not, you aren't going to use 90% of the OEM parts. I would actually rather see people doing buildups on non-Sys and leaving the real Sys for collectors who want to have nice...
