Thinking maybe this Friday or Saturday (23 or 24) meet up at the new Beaverton Hooters. There'd be at least two trucks there...I'd love to see some more!
Lots of cool stuff...but none of it works at the same time

Even if you can't meet up then, if you're from the portland area could you make a post? Just curious as to how many Oregon members there are.

I bought it last October with the help of Marty (Marlborosyclone on the syty site). It took a while for the shipping process. I finally got the truck a few weeks ago. I have wanted a Marlboro for quite some time! I had two sy's, sold them both and still had to take out a loan to get it (I was sworn to never disclose the purchase amount). The truck is the lowest mileage Marlboro (273 miles) in the world and the olny bone stock truck. I wanted to get it (1) because this is my "dream" vehicle and (2) I wanted the NW to have a Marlboro (believe it or not :) ). So more people gain awareness of Sy's and Ty's, I will be entering the truck into the Portland Roadster show next February 18th-20th. I will not win anything but hope more people will recognize how cool these rigs are! Sorry for writing a novel. I am just glad to be a part of the NW group!

Cool, I need to see that truck sometime. What are the details on the Portland Roadster show? Maybe I should swing by just to increase our presence?

This is the website for general information, potential entries, and to look at past winning cars:

http://www.hotrodshows.com/shows.ihtml?showID=2&hotelid=3&show=Portland

In the past, I think it cost $10 or so to get in. But, this is arguably the best local show of the year. As you can see by the pictures, there are some pretty amazing rigs! The Marlboro would have to enter in the stock category and placed in the subcategory of limited production and special interest vehicle. I would have zero chance of winning the stock category. But, so far everyone who has seen my truck wonders what it is. This will most likely be the same at the Portland show. I just want people to learn about sy's and ty's to increase the interest in our rigs. This might not work. But, we need more awareness in the NW (it seems a great majority of sy/ty'ers live along the east coast). Anytime anyone on this board will be out near Oregon City, send me an e-mail and stop on bye. Here is an album of all Marlboro's:

I always wanted a Marlboro too. Very cool you got the 273 mile one that is stock. I hope to make that show in Portland since a friend of mine is entering his 2004 Porsche Carrera 4S in it. I might come down and help him set up.

Paul,

Keep me posted when you come down this way...or to the show. It would be great to hook up with some NWST guys! Do you have a lot of mods done to your rig?

Yah I have a lot of modes done to mine. 20g turbo, Atr IC, Atr Aux IC, 3" SS Cat and Exhuast, I just got done adding WB02, Autoprom (from Moates) some guages and finishing up my Alky Injection install.

Currently my Typhoon is down due to an ignition problem. I am getting no spark but all the wires look good. Took the Dist out to replace the ignition module in and looke like it is all toast. But haven't got much farther than that.

After I get it running agian, I am going to put in an eDist system (Crank Trigger, Cam Sync, LS1 Coils, etc.) to go to coil per cylinder and get rid of the Distributor. I have always had ignition problems with this Typhoon and hopefully this will get the bugs worked out.

Here are some pictures of my Typhoon and mods if you want to check them out.

I might enter as well, I plan on attending as many shows as possible to get these trucks some exposure. I cant believe how many people have no clue what it is.

You need to seriously enter!!!! The fee is $50. But, with that, you get some small gift package and three full day passes for two people. All this is a value of $100- $150. Not too bad. And, the sy/ty gang gets some exposure. Nothing to lose and much to gain, eh? But, you need to send in a few pictures and your entry form by mid January. Keep me posted if you enter. We will have to get spots next to each other. This would be a cool event!!

Dang, that would be a cool show to attend and enter a truck. I'd love to enter my Sy.
I wouldn't be able to make it though.
Make sure you guys get pics!

We will keep you posted.....the more rigs the better. It seems the "serious" car guys I know still do not know anything/much about sy's or ty's, let alone a pace truck/Marlboro. I have even thought about having some of the main sy/ty web addresses listed for poeple to explore. I doubt sy's/ty's will ever be as sought after as the late 60's muscle cars, but we can help create a future larger market than current...if we want to. While it would be cool to have our rigs go up in value based on demand, there may be some that will never take care of them the way we do.

I am definitely coming to the Portland show to help my friend set up his Porsche. So hopefully we will run into each other at the show.
