The Moser 9" was narrowed 1 1/2" on each side.

Kevin, sweet lookin formula!!! Normally not a huge fan of the formulas look b/c no ground effects and stock wheels. Yours =

FLAWLESS CAR

BigBadGTA, whats up with the Stang in the back? That yours too?

Here's my contribution. I got her back in September after I wiped out my '87 T/A. This semester I've gone through it pretty much front bumper to rear bumper, fluids, hoses, belts, alternator, starter, rebuilt non CC Quadrajet, mechanical/vacuum advance distributor, ditched the emissions controls and AIR system, shorty headers, custom y-pipe, edelbrock cat-back, aluminum drive shaft, SFCs, lower control arms, panhard bar, KYB shocks, polyurethane bushings, 18" rims and z-rated all season rubber all the way around, swapped over the 4th gen seats, console, dash, tilt steering column, cruise control, and 140 mph guages from my wrecked T/A, along with the fresh TH700R4 and a B&M Torque Converter lock up, and a whole bunch of other stuff I know that I'm forgetting right now. Best part is, mine's the only wrench that's touched it so far. The car itself is an '87 Formula, WS6, with 75,000 original miles.

It does 0-60 in 6 seconds flat with the factory peg-leg 2.76 rear, and knocks down 29 mpg at an 80mph cruise on the freeway.

Big plans next spring include Trick Flow 305 heads, XR258HR-12 Comp Cam, new intake, T56 swap w/ 3.73 gears, and disc brake upgrades all the way around with some new KYB struts up front. I'm shooting for mid to low 13s at the strip and a serious road course car to show some of my BMW and Mustang driving compatriots how to drive a real car. Here's some photos from a few weeks ago, unfortunately I don't have any of the interior since I finished swapping over the dash and stuff.







Enjoy,

86 t/a , retro decals among other things..

I'm really diggin the 2nd gen decals. I think I just found my next mod.

+1 on the decals, i'll have to add those some day
here some latest pictures of my Trans Am.
Need a BFH mod on the back to fit the wheels without spacers

Thanks for the compliment marks 10! And Bullydawg, the Mustang is my fathers car. I wish it was mine so I could actually put it through its paces, but its not. My dad drives it like a women. That car has never done a burn out in its life, hes never even dumped the clutch lol.

Here's a few pics of my new toy, 1986 Firebird SE, 2.8/A4 with a TON of options (some rare), AND, 61K original miles, I just rolled 61K last week.












Alot of beautiful cars here!

That car is awesome! I am from Vegas as well, looks like you live in the south part of town in the hills of Henderson. I just moved to Oklahoma City last month, I lived in Henderson off of Boulder/Gibson. I miss being able to take my bird out pretty much anytime of year out there. That's the only good thing about the desert.

Some updates...chrome irocs off my s10, chrome tips, new tint

Mine is posted in my Garage and CarDomain:

Take a look if you get a chance, let me know what you think.

Wow for $900 and some work that is a great peice of work...no motor shots? How does it run?

Lol, nope, we were able to get it for $750 sense the guy didn't know if it was fixable or not. Just lucked out, really.

I don't have any yet, but it's not much to look at. Stock 305 CID =P
However, the engine bay is black instead of red, which looks pretty niffty. Maybe I'll post some tomorrow if I can think to.
Runs ok though. Ran it at the dragway once when I first got it, only managed a 14, I belive.

You said you got some Chrome tips, though? Post some up close pics, if you can. I think it makes them look more aggressive

Yea couldnt decide between the z28 tips or standard tips but ended up doing 3 1/2" standards which is better than the rusted out 2 1/2" lol...lucky steal on your car though

Ah, very nice, I had the type cut on mine too ^_^ I actually prefer it, I just couldn't find any dual ones... =/

BTW, I updated my CarDomain with engine and interior pics for you

engine looks clean...still cant beleive the price!


Devilish, love the wheels

Here's mine - 89 TA, 5.0 TPI auto. All stock except for BBK TB and 3in. cat back to Flowmasters 80's.

My 1992 firebird looks like kitt.

Kevin, clean bird just not sure about the wheels. I say black or chrome c6's

took some decent pics today, also got the windows tinted last week

kevin, maybe you should post a vid

Kevin... Very nice

I really like that Black beauty....just wondering where you got your door Formula decals...I like those and have been looking for some for my car...


thanks


Zeke

Here is some recent ones at the car show...

Here's mine...

Always have loved the look of a white 3rd gen T/A with a black interior. But I gotta say the black cross-laced GTA rims look a lot better to me than the chromed IROC rims - especially since you have the matching interior.

I took these yesterday

heres some of mine

Still undecided...irocs or gta's??????? not sure lol

STEVO love the pearl white always wondered what it would look like on a 3rd gen.....

Thanks, it's a real subtle pearl where you can't really see it until you're right next to it.
