If you haven't seen it...**CAUTION LARGE**

My baby
1987 Formula 350, ASDS hood, 89 GTA Taillights, blacked out tinting, with my little added pointed windsheld shade (suttle in these pics), but alot of people point it out. They really see it if you sit in it. Those of you with this hood know that this hood has a pointiness (if that is a word) to it, going to the center. And it flows nice with the rest of the theme. Next is to put a 4th gen wing on and maybe some 91-92 GFX







Interior... (going all black soon... but here is what i have right now)

Seats are from a 914 Porsche, Grant Carbon Fiber, usb wire is for ostrich (sorry it is in the pic), 2000 TA consule, window controls in radio plate (which in now wraped in black leather), bottle warmer, purge and N2O led indicators in old heater controls where.


Piller mounted Nitrous Pressure guage, and Boost Gauge (HX55W on hand)


Nitous bottle, between where the back seats were. (unless extreme stealth is more important then accessablity then I recomend here)


Most peoples favorite part of my interior... I made this from SS plate with a plasma, I have Red and Black neons under it now, I will have to get some new pics of it. (if you can't tell its on the rearend hump, blocking amps (theft)) Also back there is a single kicker 12" , and a Optima red.


ENGINE 1.5 FREE MODS, Slp headers, Flowmaster cat-back, polishing, and my own CAI.


SHORT VIDEO OF THIS SETUP WITH NITRO SIG TIMES CAME FROM THIS SETUP WITH DR'S AND A 2400 STALL (S-10)



Newest Engine Setup (ENGINE 2.1)

Re: If you haven't seen it...**CAUTION LARGE**

You know...there are aspects of your car I like, and other aspects...well...it is your car, and your opinion.

But hey! We don't all like the same things, right? That's what is nice...We can all build them, the way WE want them, not cookie cutter cars, right?

Re: If you haven't seen it...**CAUTION LARGE**

I can't figure out if that paint scheme is meant for a superhero or simply just looking like the war paint on a Mohawk warriors face??

I'm like yes and no on it, but it's definitely not a bad thing.

Re: If you haven't seen it...**CAUTION LARGE**

85_zedz28- this is the best I have right now, it is old like when I put them in (notice the factory center consule) I have to get some new ones.



I like the war paint Idea... (think of the pontiac symbol)

Re: If you haven't seen it...**CAUTION LARGE**

ummm...I have a question. If you have no radio, why do you have a 12" kicker? Unless you've mounted the head unit somewhere else?

Re: If you haven't seen it...**CAUTION LARGE**

I use my 4gb Sandisk Mp3 player hooked to (phonejack/rca), two rockford amps one four channel and one 2 ohm stabble to the dvc kicker 12, (sony 4way 6x9's and Jbl Components in the dash) Sounds good , I record all my mp3's in 192, so it sounds just like a cd.... and no head unit to steal, or take up space, or weigh you down.

Re: If you haven't seen it...**CAUTION LARGE**

I like the T/A fenders, taillights, and Ram Air hood on the Formula body.

Not a fan of the paintscheme.

And the center console is from a Camaro not a T/A.
