Re: Project: Typhoon 0437

first off big big thanks to sportmachines on this!!!! i dont have any pictures after i got it back from them, but i do have the finished product.. i didnt ask him to paint it, i did when i got it back but its pretty clear how good of a job he did, not to mention they rebraced the entire backside again like it was from factory..
before:


after i got it back and painted:




Soooo nice having it back on the truck




Also heres the convertor which i was told could be a 2800 stall


and another with the daily


Also i installed the front end limiters which made a huge difference in launches, more then i expected honestly, well worth the 15bucks.. Put new door pins/bushings in on the drivers door so it doesnt look like its got down syndrone and Also got the new cv shaft installed since my old ones boot exploded, and been working on the boost... Off to the syty meet now!

Re: Project: Typhoon 0437

Just went through your entire thread bro...real nice, lots of hard work. I'm working on my own truck, searching the forum, and keep getting side tracked by threads like this! :banghead: I don't think I've ever seen a Ty so squished down before, or with as large wheels. Looks B.A!

I was going effing apoplectic, jumping on my keyboard over chrome on the tail lights, thanks for fixing that :)
About the coil overs: For me,coil overs are a MUST. If folks were to ask, what's it like, how's the ride different? I'm making this up but, I'd say my suspension, :turbo: on the SYTY boost meter score chart, scaled 0-30, is like going from 14.6lbs to 22lbs. Putting on the stock arms is a PITA, but still pretty basic. If I was going to do it again tho, had the $$ ready, I'd have sprung for the sportmachines A-arms. Thats just how I would want my setup now having done the same as pearl and others. However, with coil overs on stock arms, no complaints here whatsoever.

Re: Project: Typhoon 0437

i knew my meet up in chicago went to smooth, having no problems with the ty...

Comw home today, even thought about taking it for a spin and noticed a dark puddle on my passenger rear wheel, i though it was a broken brake line... Boy was a i wrong, started tearing into it and its def a gear fluid smell.. So looks like ill be replacing seal or bearing or whatever is in there... Any advice on this? this is something new for me.. Im guess i will have to pop off the diff cover, pull the c-clip to pull axle out, and then use some kind of puller to get the bearing out?? ive never done anything beyond taking a diff. cover off so any help is appriciated

Re: Project: Typhoon 0437

got my hood off, took the insulation off expecting i would need to paint it... just needed a good clean up!

Clean on right side, dirty on left





full clean





And installed back on the typhoon, i think it looks sooo much better





did a quick paint on the wiper arms since they were faded and peeling





Next up the fender wells





i bought a paint like por-15 threw farm and fleet, the can said it comes out black.. i dont think so..





Back again with the black paint like it was supposed to be





and the turbo installed along with the downpipe that ups made me wait all weekend on!! i still need to button a few things up, and play with the tune.. but damnnnn it sounds pretty with that turbo spoolin

Re: Project: Typhoon 0437

The only 312s they sell here lol Don't know off hand exact kinda of flavor, it's got a very good wheat taste though

Gotcha. Where are you located, Illinoise? I haven't seen that one around anywhere before. I live in South Carolina. I buy every new beer that I can find, anywhere that I can find them.
