Re: 89 Formula TPI 5speed
I think the price is to high.
However it does look nice and if you wait you will probably find the guy looking for a 5-speed car.
I am interested, PM me your Bottom line price and if it will make a trip back to Ohio.

The price is not too high ORIGINAL 5 speeds are hard to find. And this car looks to be in good shape.

Re: 89 Formula TPI 5speed
There not rare. What you mean is uncommon. I think for that car if it was reliable to drive its not to high. To try and sell in the economy right now eh.

Re: 89 Formula TPI 5speed
I see no underhood pics or interior pics. That makes me pass it up. Too bad too, I'm well within driving distance.

Re: 89 Formula TPI 5speed
Where did it say the car was unreliable? It looks like a decent car. And has alot of mods to motor. I don't know about your area, but original tpi 5spd is rare over here. Lots of converted. I noticed on ur avatar that you're doing a T5 conversion.

Re: 89 Formula TPI 5speed
it means that they are still there and if the car isn't exposed to inclamite weather they will be fine. They have normal decay of a 20yr old midwest car. there is one hole about 3'' in diameter on the rf floor where it meets the pinchweld which can be fixed with fiberglass. other than that no carpet shows.
