I am comtemplating selling this truck in order to get a not as nice SyTy to use as an autoX/road race truck. This one is just too nice to be doing any major modifications that I want to do and I don't have the space or money for two trucks. I am testing the waters here, but will sell it for the right price.
Truck has ~65,000 miles right now.
Things I have done since buying it from Jim in 2011:
New turbo to IC hard pipe
Swapped out the 3" lowering blocks to 2" blocks and raised the front up to match for a better ride.
HD propshaft from D&R Driveline with SM offset bracket
New battery.
New stock headlights.
Removed some of the decals from the windows and under the hood.
Removed the under glow lights and strobes in the headlights.
Barely driven it.
It does not have any of the stereo equipment listed in Jim's FS thread, Jim kept all that. Has the head unit and the upgraded speakers mentioned though.

Hey guys, Sold the Syclone, so here is the Typhoon on its own thread.
$12,500.00 Or Best Offer takes it. Other car is on its way and really want to move this!
You get the truck plus a bunch of receipts and misc info that I have from the previous owner and also a CoverCraft Truck cover. I am the third owner. I also have a bunch of items that are in my garage that the new owner will have first dibs on, if they wish to purchase anything.
1993 GMC Typhoon #1754.. 63559 miles right now as she sits.
LO-JACK is installed.
Stock Engine
-There is a small oil leak somewhere up front. I'd say a drop a month, thats how small it is. Also, could use a radiator flush.
-HKS BOV with Purple Insert
-Borla 3" exhaust
-2" lowering blocks
-Rear Sway Bar
Tires: (4) Michelin Pilot Alpine 225/55/R16 with about 90% tread left.
It does have that 'vibration' that is famous on these trucks. I feel it between 75-85 MPH.
Stereo: Pioneer DEH-P77DH Headunit with Ipod hook-up.
(2) Pioneer TS-T110 Component Tweeters mounted on windshield
(2) 12" Bazooka Subwoofers Model EL-1204
(4) 5" Bazooka Mids Model EL-600
(2) Pioneer TS-A6970R 3 Way 6"x9" in back seat
Bazooka 750 Watt Amp Model EL-2150
Stinger Power Cap
I also upgraded the front speakers, but cant find the paperwork on it. I have all manuals for the stereo components.
-Hella H4 headlight conversion
-Whelen ABLE2 Undercover Hide-A-Way Strobe Kit
(2) Red under the truck and (2) in the front headlights. Also has space for (2) more lights that can be added if wanted.
-LiteGlow Neon tubes underneath that are NOT hooked up, just (3) bulbs underneath, no sure if they even work. I started the project, but never finished. I'll include everything that I have for it.
-Custom Lloyds 'Typhoon' in Red front floor mats. Also have rear and cargo mats as well by Lloyd, but not embroidered.
The paint does have a few dings in it, but what do you expect for a 18yo truck! I have pics of a few trouble spots.
The rear wiper doesn't work. Probably an easy fix, not sure though.
Also, there is a watermark that looks to be between the tint and window on the passenger side back window. Hard to take a pic of it, but I did.
I just want to tell as much as I know. Feel free to ask any questions. PM, email or send me a message on Facebook.
Some pics below and more by following the link.
Thanks guys!
Jimmy
