Pics of my ride

Days after I bought it. Summer 2001.

I really need to buy a digital camera.

Thanx for the compliments. And don't worry she knows how lucky she is to have an owner who doesn't beat on her all the time.

Looks real nice. How about some details on that homemade intake? That looks good.

Looks very clean, especially the paintwork. Keep it nice. Don't abuse it too much.

Beautiful looking car the only things i don't like is the floor mats and the tailpipes otherwise you got yourself a really clean car.

I didn't see the tailpipes. I would trim the exhaust exits off a bit so you could mount the exhaust tips farther in so that they don't stick out that much. I don't like the look of exhaust pipes sticking out past the bumper.

Thank you thank you.

87Pontiac - Yeah I know what you mean about salt. I used to live in CT but now I'm down in FL where I don't have to worry about salt damaging this car.

Brett - Pretty simple CAI. Went to Home Depot and got two 3" elbows and a section of PVC pipe. Painted it black. Even if it doesn't help much it's still better looking than the factory piece.

Torch - Yeah I've owned 3 red third generations so far (2 88's, 91). This one is definitely in better condition than my previous ones. That's why I take even more care of it, and don't race it.

85maro - Yeah I know the floormats look kinda "Type R"icey but I saw a pic of another Formula with them and I liked they way they looked with the combination of red and black.

Devianb - That's how the pipes were when I bought them. They do stick out a lil too much. But I'm gonna be changing the muffler and tailpipes anyways to something thicker that comes straight out (no ugly downward bend) with nicer tips.

Like the plans for the exhaust....

I would maybe do some window tint to protect that nice interior.

Where you at in Florida?

EDIT: No A/C in florida...........Trying to loose weight while crusing.....

Mine's tinted already. 15% on the sides and 5% on the back.

I'm in Orlando, and I'm one of those few people who would rather cruise around in 90* weather with the windows open instead of with the A/C on. lol. Another reason why I never used it is cuz it just decreases my gas mileage.
