My new Misstress....
Its a 91' Formula, got her cheap. Just 59,000 plus miles. The car is originally from Arizona, its been repainted. Their are some issues, needs new front sway bar end links, power steering hose (pressure hose), tilt steering loose, wrong tire size (rubbing when i turn) & some other stuff.

Re: My new Misstress....
Great project. How does it feel compared to your z28 straight line?
My next thirdgen is either going to be a 91-92 Formula or Z28.

Im looking for a fox body myself, almost picked up a 93' GT, all it needed was a paint job. They shaved the hatch lock, antenna, pass door lock. Wouldnt mind a 93' Cobra!

Re: My new Misstress....
Nice, I prefer 3rd gens I guess. I want to LsX swap a 91-92 Formula or Z28... I am not sure what my plans are for my Fox... I bought it right before I went back to Japan, so we will see what happens when I get stationed stateside again.

Re: My new Misstress....
Started to take the rear interior apart to fix the carpet in the hatch. Seems someone pulled it out & didnt put it back correctly. Im thinking of putting in some sound deadner since i got it out.
Found some missing peices when i took all the plastics off, i think im gonna wash them before i put them back on.

Nice Man, Keep us Posted with Pics. I Love Formula's!
I would put in Sound deadner while you got it apart, if you have the $$. My next Daily Driver will be Dynamatted everywhere.

Re: My new Misstress....
1) great car. issues aside, this one looks really clean, and 91-92 Formulas are ****ing SWEET.
2) how/why is your rear spoiler in such good condition? is it new?
3) what wheels are you putting on it?
4) my opinion: black chrome, gloss black, or flat black, (but black chrome particularly) engine and suspension components would look excellent on a white Formula. mine is that medium blue silver metallic (or whatever) and I find that flat black stuff goes good with that color.

Re: My new Misstress....
first pic just shows the flat black against the pretty blue color. second pic more clearly shows the black chrome color on the TPI Runners. this is the color that I think would look awesome on your car (or any white Banshee Formula.)
my plenum is gloss black. i'm going to change that to flat black when I take the plenum off and port it.

Re: My new Misstress....
I got my 4th gen grey TA leathers in, put on some blacked out 91/92 GTA Tails, shes currently on reversed black crosslaces. I have 19/18 C6's in stock competition grey waiting for new tires. HIDs up front, just waiting for my switchback front turn signals & flashers.
Im going with a polished Super Ram, now I gotta polish my intake to match...lol...saving for some AFRs at the moment. Got a 4th gen rear end waiting to go in. Also LS1 front brakes (calipers need a rebuild) also waiting to go on. The 4th gen spoiler hasnt gone on yet either...lol....i have my GC, struts/zhocks, LCAs & reloaction brackets, adj pan hard, moog front end rebuild kit all waiting for me. Just gathering up some small things & its going on all at once. I put on my 58mm BBK tb & itzs better than my stock TB...lol more responsive from a dead stop.
