Asking $9,000 I bought Razzy three years ago and was wanting to get back into the SyTy world. Unfortunately, life interfered with that plan. I've only driven it 360 miles since March 2013 (most of that was going to/from Homecoming 2014). Due to even more of life getting in the way, I'd...

Now that I'm down to one day left, I figured I'd start working on Razzy for Homecoming... The first issue is that the parking brake indicator light stays on. The second issue is that the reverse lights don't come on when it's in reverse. I replaced the bulbs with no change. Before I start...

I realize this is really late notice, but the 9th annual 28th Street Metro Cruise is going on in GR this weekend. I don't even know if I'll head out there, but it's a car thing that's going on, if anyone is interested.

Remember 10 or 11 years ago when I was researching carputer stuff for Datamaster (this and this), and had it down to about $400 (not including automotive PSU or a screen) for something decent? Well, Newegg has a MiniITX board on sale for $55 after rebate, and I already have the RAM and and a...

I'm looking for suggestions on making Razzy a little less pink. Here's what she looks like now. The most extreme option is painting the cladding argent. I have a couple new pieces of cladding to go on it, so I figure I should consider this option now. Here's a photoshop from when Mandi...

A guy on the Ninja board from a suburb of Idaho Falls said he saw a Sy for sale a few years ago. He said it saw it downtown recently without the For Sale sign, but it still looked the same.

I feel like an idiot even posting this, but I'm sort of stumped. 0187 was dropped off at a truck stop a few miles from here (for space reasons) when it was delivered. I opened the hood and checked it out while it was there with no problems. I closed it up, finished up the delivery stuff, and...

2 Piece 1000 Lb. Capacity Vehicle Wheel Dollies Only: $69.99 Sale: $49.99 For only $100 your truck can move again!

Hey everyone! It's been a while, but I'm still around... For some background, I bought Syclone 1456 in early '01 with 77k on it. I daily drove it for a number of years, getting it up over 200k (not sure exactly, the odometer broke and won't seem to stay fixed). I had the standard small stuff...

I was thinking there was a plainish plate frame around with a Sy logo on it at one time. All I found in searching were a few threads with witty sayings and stuff. This is for my DD (to match the NOTMYSY plate), so I don't want a saying that you'd put on a Sy, just a Sy logo. I'm betting that...

I got to see my AAA tow truck buddy again last night... Almost home, I got off the expressway. Stopped at the end of the exit ramp and turned toward my house. As I was accelerating, there was a loud noise and the truck started running funny. There was a little bit of smoke coming out from...

Last night on the way home, the Sy died on me. The fuel pump isn't turning on. I checked the ECMB fuse and messed with the relay and test lead under the hood before calling AAA. I haven't done any real troubleshooting yet today. I'm thinking it's either the pump itself or the Racetronix...

A while back, I removed the PROM from my ATR Pitbull and put a Moates 2Timer in its place. I never really did a whole lot with it, other than putting my slightly tweaked BBZB on it and verifying with different chip codes that it really did switch correctly. When I got my Ostrich, I replaced...

Any interest in some premade knock LEDs? http://syclone.invisibill.net/knockled/ is a copy of the old Chitown page about it. I asked about this years ago, and a lot of people seemed to think it'd be something nice to have it if didn't cost too much or wasn't too difficult to make work. Now...

A few years ago, I bought a cheap EEPROM burner and got a handful of EEPROMs and a 2Timer from Moates. The 2Timer basically goes inline with your PROM, and by grounding a wire you can switch between two 128k programs stored on the 256k chip. The idea was that I could do a "street/strip" sort...

Anyone heard from him lately? His last activity here was June 20th and his domain name is expired. I ordered some decals for the Sy from him just before that, and I haven't gotten them yet (we were both hoping they'd get here before Homecoming). I don't think he's run off to Mexico with my...

Wondering if any of you Detroit or Ohio guys would be able to help me out sometime this weekend. I won an eBay auction for a car near Cleveland. In MI, you can just drive the purchased car home without plates. OH BMV told me that I need to get a temporary tag for it to drive it the 2 hours to...

http://syclone.invisibill.net/sytyvin.php It's a very simplistic VIN decoder aimed at production SyTy's. It checks a few basic things and lists if they don't match up with what a SyTy should have. VIN Check Digit Year Manufacturer Location Manufacturer GVWR Drivetrain Series Engine Type I'm...

I'm working on a script to decode SyTy VINs, so I've been looking up VIN reference stuff and experimenting using SyTy VINs posted here. I noticed that in all the Ty examples I have, the 11th digit of the VIN is 0, which corresponds to Pontiac. Syclones use 8, which is Shreveport. It doesn't...

Just went and picked up my wheels from Lakeshore Wheel & Tire. These are the ROH "Impala" wheels I bought used when a pothole ate my stock fronts (2002?). $135 a wheel and they look great. They're only about an hour from here, and a coworker lives right nearby. I gave him a 6-pack for...
