New Ty owner in Toronto!

FmcTY

Blk to wht/gry... yay.
So, here's a short introduction and a summary of how I came to get my Ty. My name is Filip (pronounced same as Philip.... my parents are Serbian...), I'm 19 and about a year ago, I had 3 years of money saved up from working part time and bought myself a Dark Green Grey Metallic Impala SS, mint condition Florida car. I rocked the car for a summer and then a family friend who had a Typhoon called me asking if I wanted to buy his Typhoon. Seeing as I'd spent all my spare cash on the Impala, I had no money but offered the Impy as a trade... and he took it! So here are pics of my new toy, it has 95k miles on the body, rebuilt engine as 6k miles ago and a fully built suspension.

Only downside is that the car needs a repaint badly, has some rust bubbles around windows and the body cladding. I plan on saving up and sending it for a full paint job in the spring and get all the imperfections taken care of.

It was originally white and argent grey... the previous owner had it painted black back in 92. I'm not sure whether to go with black again or bring it back to its original color?

Either way, the thing is a riot, I love driving it.

Damb! I am in the same boat as you, except still without a Ty. Spare saved up money is growing everymonth and the Ty desire can't keep up! Are you going to drive it at all in the winter?

Ontario salts more than anywhere else in North America. No chance I would winter drive it.

From what I was told exhaust is a fully mandrel 3 inch cat back. It looks like the old atr ones but I'm still a noob to these things.

That's no ATR exhaust... I've never seen one with a dual exhaust before. Interesting look. Congrats on the new TY... welcome to the "future jackstand club"

Re: New Ty owner in Toronto!

It is Typhoon #1805 iirc.

It's a 3 inch mandrel bent y-pipe catback, sounds nice and mean.

Impala was a 95, here's a pic:

Original engine and trans, 158k miles. I got the Typhoon and $1100 for it.

In Milton, there's a REAL nice father/son who have a syclone, and a typhoon clone. Might pay to look them up. They are both very knowledgeable about these trucks.

That would be excellent, I'm going to PM you my cell and maybe we can meet in the next few days.

I got the impala for 5800, had about 7 in it when I traded it so technically I got a typhoon for 5900.

That's cool, at least it's not like the green/grey I looked at a few years ago in Toronto that was someone's winter beater since they imported it, that truck was rough. Yours looks pretty good for spending all it's life up here, if it were mine, I think I would be putting it back to white/grey:)
