Reader's Rides, Keword FORMULA

formul8! :hail:
i said it once ill say it again! i love that car.... it may be one of my faves on this site. if i were ever to get a bird it would either b a TTA or a formie w/ firehawk wheels and exshaust.:rockon:

 

Here's mine in various stages of life

Original:



2nd Life: (Polished factory WS6 wheels; lowered 1")



Prep for painting:



3rd Life: (New paint; stripped decals; ROH wheels; lowered 1.5")



Current: (ROH wheels polished and painted)

 

Good *** Tom i just ruined my pants. What paint code you have? I love that color.

 

I am told the color is '91 Ultra Blue it sure shines. The car just turned 80kms which is about 50,000 miles.

 

Very cool setup man -- but you have to do something about CAI. That factory tube is like breathing through a straw.

BAK12484..What kind of rims are those, also size/backspacing..they look sweet IMO!

 

LOL!

Thanks! The color is Maui Blue Metallic. Factory GM color for 89's.

 

Thanks! People seem to really like them on my bird.

Unfortunately, I dont know a specific model # or what backspacing... however I do know that they are made by CCW (Complete custom wheels) and are 16x10

 

k...

 

ttt

More please

 

Greedy!!

 

That would be me, alright, at least when it comes to good pics of Formulas

 

my car is not the greatest..

So? Get busy and get us some good ones! We know you can do it

 

Nice formies boys!!:rockon:

 

I love Formula's

Here's mine..

 

I'm in Heavan!!!!:hail: :lala: I have always wanted a 87-90 back on on black Formula myself. Beautiful Formulas guys!!

 

 

Hope these links work.









Had to get that out...

 

Sorry bout that guys, anyone know why the pics arent showing up? Now it's just a big waste of ugly space. Sorry

 

 

here is mine

 

You said Largest......







Is there a way to shrink them?

Dang Kiztop, I need about need a bigscreen to look at those pics man.

 

Well, he did want the biggest!
They were taken with a 4 mp camera.....


Can anyone tell me why I am one of the very few with the wheels that I have. Most of the Formie's that I see from 91-92 are the sunk in style, while mine are flatter.... if you see what I mean...

 

The wheels you have are the '87 wheels. All 88-92 Formulas should have the "sunk in" style wheels like you referred to. So I guess somewhere along the lines someone changed your wheels. Happened to me too, except I got stuck with crappy 15's

 

Why do I have such crap for luck?

Mine is an '87, that was the last year for the "crappy" looking "flat" rims? I really like the newer ones, I was wondering myself why I didnt have them. That and not to mention the fact that '87 was the last year for the LG4 motor (I think), I woudlnt have minded the L69 at all, but come on, LG4?? Oh well, live and learn. Too bad I bought the car before I was very knowledgable about this stuff. Good thing I got a good price on it. Oh well, I still love my car nonetheless, nothing a little bit of $ can't fix right?

Jees.

 

Looks like red wins ............

87formula4bbl nice lookin car. where in the world did you get that formula bannar for the back hatch. ive looked for one for a long time. where did you get it and how much?

 

You can pick up the late model rims cheap off the classifieds.

I've had an '85 IROC (LG4) '88 Formula (L03) and now I have a '91 Formula (LB9). All were 5-speeds with posi. I mod'd each of these to make more power in each case to around 300hp (current car is still on it's way there).

Each system (carb, TBI, TPI) has it's pros and cons. I wouldn't say that one of my cars was any better than the other they were just different. The carb'd build up was the easiest and the cheapest to do.

Here are some pages to check for '305 build-up' potential:

adious,

Palric: I know that all have potential. I don't plan on leaving mine in the "LG4 mode" for very long. Plan on doing some headwork and a cam complete cam kit swap (may as well do a whole rebuild and have a fresh top-end). I think the carbed 305 has tons of potential, I just do not have the funds or the time to tap into it at this point in time. I'm comfortable with driving a "low performance" V8 for the time being, but it will change in the near future. I still respect my car, I just wish that I didnt have to start from 'so far behind' to make it a little faster, if you understand what I'm trying to say. As for the rims, well, if I ever do get the funds, I'd also like to convert those over to a nice set of the WS6 rims also. I just saw a nice sounding set on the classifieds.....I hate being in college sometimes!!
Don't take me wrong, I love my car to death, and I don't mean to complain at all. I shouldn't complain, I'm glad I have what I have!!

 

Dang, that really ticks me off...

I am going to have to post this question in the History section as well....
Is there no way that my car could have them from the factory? I may have to go talk to the 2 original owners of the car, and ask a few questions...

On a side note: I actually kinda like the look of these better than the sunk in style.... Are the sunk in wheels as light as these are? The flat ones are very very light...... My Camaro's 15 inchers were a lot heavier than these are.

 

Camaroman: I got the banner with the decal set I bought from

http://www.autografics.com/

It is originally a front windshield banner, but I already had a PONTIAC sunshade in the front so I simply put it in the back window, worked out pretty well.

You can buy a whole set fairly cheap, they are not original but look great and hold up very well IMO. Or you can order single decals there. Check it out, I recommend them. If you like decals, I think they look great and are worth the little bit of money.
