Chicago area Newbie

[SSupa93]

I have a 93 Typhoon (0893) that I bought 2yrs ago. The truck is in terrible shape, but I plan to fix it up. I haven't done much to it because I have a couple other projects to finish first (pair of 96 Impala SSs). Once I get into this project though, I wanna do it right. I would love to meet some fellow SyTy owners because I really don't know much about these trucks.

Welcome to the madness! You'll soon learn these trucks are labeled as "permanent projects." :lol:

But seriously, when done right, there's nothing like them. You've got some good "locals" in your area, and I'm sure they'll chime in. :tup:

Thanks for the greetings. I have a feeling this one might be the biggest project of them all. Did a complete rebuild of the trans. I also did the entire drieline. Now I'm waiting for brake and shocks to arrive .

Re: Chicago area Newbie

The Ty rides like a rocking chair when I brake. I ordered Bilstein shocks for all 4 corners. I ordered Raybestos slotted/drilled rotors and Raybestos Prof. Grade Ceramic pads. National Wheel bearings. I also have a rear disc setup I bought off ebay (S10 warehouse) last year. right now my main goal is to make it a safe reliable backup vehicle. I gave my son my DD (Civic) and the Impala is in the shop regularly. So I need the Ty to get around when the Imp is in the shop
