New Syclone owner #1991

[peteraq1]

I picked up the Sy on Monday, needs an engine rebuild. Got the engine out yesterday, should be ready for the machine shop by Monday.

 

[excobraguy]

what did ya have to pay for it????

 

[my85grandnation]

Its kind of cool that your Syclone is #1991 and that is the year they were made. I know its stupid but I find amusement in the smallest of things, damn my ADD

 

[my85grandnation]

Also your sig is in need of an update now.:biggrin:

 

[peteraq1]

I paid $5000.00 for it, but it needed to have the engine rebuilt. The motor is out and disassembled and going to the machine shop today. :biggrin:

Just when pat thought he was safe.
I remember you saying that a GTO was in the future.

Stock rebuild?

I know it will be a show stopper someday.

 

[peteraq1]

This one came a lot cheaper then the GTO. Besides it'll be faster then the GTO in the quarter. :smile: The wife help me decide, get the Syclone now, because when we buy a new house, you're not getting anything else. Looks like I'll have to go back to Iraq to get a GTO or Zr1.

You can borrow the Fiero & bolt a turbo on to compete
I know you really like it, you just don't want to admit it

NOT hardly.

This truck won't be a show truck at all. I purchased the truck to replace the GTI I use to autocross. I figure some suspension work and tires, it should be quite competitive in its class. :wink:

 

[peteraq1]

I did a some cleaning on the Sy today. Washed, clay barred, and applied a coat of wax. Also I moved the battery from under the front right fender, relocated it to the bed of the truck. Its still a 30-30 truck, 30 feet or 30 mph and it looks good.

Engine won't be ready until later this week, maybe it'll be road worthy by the end of the month.

 

[SloGN]

so when do you want to polish mine up

 

[peteraq1]

Pat I didn't want to polish my hooptee, but I had to. You saw the first pics in the thread, I had to see what was under all that gunk and spider webs. I had to sit in it and make engine noises and turbo sounds. It still didn't help, can't wait for the motor to be finished.

 

[NCTyphoon]

Lookin good Alonzo! I may need you to pass on some polish tips to get my Ty back to something other than a years worth of dust & pollen

 

[peteraq1]

I think I need to show Korey the washing and waxing methods, so he can make money to get the Fiero running.
