dibs! $500
sucks man. At least you have your bmw to draw your liking to now though. Does insurance cover this kinda thing?
if it was still insured it might. I pulled that at the end of june when the registration ran out.

so the tree fell on the trucks? or lightning just ruined all of the electronics?
edit: I get it the electric pulse, ruined everything.. sorta surprising.. but damn that sucks.. sorry to hear.. need a spare ecm to swap in and see if it works?
dude you have no idea. On top of the trucks gettin fried, the lighning traveled through the roots and hit the foundation of the house. It cracked some of it and blew the wooden frame for the basement window into toothpicks as well as the glass. I had unpluged the computer, however I didnt have time to get to the monitor. I thought the monitor itself was fried, but turns out it ended up frying the video card in the computer instead.
So yes, that shit travelled through anything it wanted to today :tdown:

Sounds like the lightning strikes was close enough to frazzle anything with moving electrons.
They had to move the trucks to take the tree down.
Ever think of just leaving the Ty sit and and drop the tree on it accidentally?
Whoops did i say that outloud?
Hey it already has a salvage title so it wouldn't be a HUGE loss. right?
again, if it was only insured, i would have yanked the stereo stuff out of it and said good luck to it :lol:

I know a Corvette owner who's car was struck by lightning, he tried fixing it but most of his electronics were fried. He gave up on it. I guess atleast your Ty sort of runs so some electronics work.
yeah some of the stuff works, i just dont know what got killed. its breaking up REALLY bad, and the more gas you give it, the RPMs just drop, the only way I even got it above 3000 was to pump and feather it, but holding it there didnt make it sound happy.

Dang Morgan! I hate to hear that! Maybe it just got the fuel pump $ didn't fry the whole wiring. I've never had that happen with a vehicle, but I have a well & lightening ran in on the motor & fried the pump. Not cheap(over $1100 to replace well pump!) I would kinda think comprehensive insurance would cover that...good luck!
the pump works, I can hear it and im still getting 38 PSI before it runs. Now weather it got screwed up enough to keep running, who knows. Eventually ill toss the laptop on it when i get inspired.
MikeRenz said:
Were you going to drive it to NATS?
no, Im driving the Celica to nats
MikeRenz said:
Wait...maybe this just means you should buy the DUCK :lol:
no money and Im not looking for another truck. The only reason Im bummed about it not running is because now I have to fix whatever is wrong with the drivetrain before I sell it on eBay

I still have my stock ECU if you want to try that!!
I might take you up on that, but right now I have other fish to fry so Ill let ya know. Im just hoping its not the memcal because I dont have any way to burn another one and Im not sure if I made a spare or not, cant remember.
phoonTy said:
that's rotten luck for sure.
but yeah, like Renz said, now you have no Typhoon excuse to pull you away from the LS2BMW :tup:
the Typhoon was never an excuse to not work on the BMW, having no time period was the excuse :rotf:
