Default My Little Syclone Project

Well I've had it for almost 6 months now and am about to get started with a little fun, and just thought I'd post it up on here since this is a performance truck website (and hopefully this one performs). Have always wanted one of these, so finally found one I liked and bought it. Can't wait to have some real fun with this "classic" LOL.

Every time someone buys a new Syclone my heart bleeds a little for my old one!

What are your plans with it? How does she drive and how do you like it so far. Congrats on it!! I loved mine and I'm sure you'll love yours too!!

if you want to put whats in your truck in there im sure it will..

quite a few lsx swaps out there now, im hoping to have one someday soon. much more reliable and cheaper than a big hp v6 build, but only drawback is not being able to tell people they just got wooped by a v6 imo..

love the black on black that truck looks really clean. I have a 92 Typhoon that is black on black doesn't run tho in the process of collecting parts for a LQ4 swap. What are your plans for the truck dd or track monster?

Thank you all for the compliments. So far I am definitely happy with the purchase, even though I haven't got to spend a lot of time on it yet. Truck runs and drives really good, although he tune is off quite a bit. I flew out and bought it and drove it nearly 600 miles home and was more than impressed, even though I don't fit in it all that well.

So far the plans are jumping up to a 67mm dbb turbo and redoing a lot of the tubing, exhaust and etc. We'll be adding a second fuel pump and bigger injectors to run e85, and I'm gonna let her rip! Eventually (when I blow it up) I plan on doing an lsx swap of some sorts, just probably not a 1200hp one LOL. Other than that just maybe tranny work and new wheels and tires, and then I should be good for a while.
