Finally, once a 91 Mazda B2200, now I dub it, "Stranger".

I'll give you the rundown on parts after the pics.

I kinda wanted to build something sorta like Ford should have done to compete with the gmc syclone.

First the before pic.

Ghost lights...........

The only time you see them is when either the lights are on, brakes, or both. You can make out the brake light just beside the tail light.

Impressive. I had a friend put a small block @#%y in a Luv P/U back in H.S.
Man that thing would peal out and lay rubber every where we went. It was so lite.(Yours is lite years better) Enjoy!

Most definitely Rod, thanks for bringing that up.....I

also have a kill switch to the fuel pump as well as the oil return pump, and a small fire extinguisher inside the cab.

I plan one day to have another fire extinguisher in the bed as well as at least a four point roll bar in the cab.

Very interesting, I was given a "ride" in a Syclone owned by a GM mechanic

May 28 2012, 8:31 PM 

He told me at the dealers they were priced in there with Vettes. I doubt I will ever ride in a street car that pulled as hard as the Syclone did thanks to the all wheel drive. You sure have it all over a Syclone on power but at least for the short run that four wheels driving is deadly. Beautifully done ride!

Too cool

May 29 2012, 5:14 PM 

Thanks for the Picks it must have been lots of late nights and it looks as if it was worth it . I was wondering if having the turbos back there gives you more turbo lag [not that it would matter with all that HP] And when are you putting the Nitrus on?
