ok basically im curious because i own a 1992 firebird formula t tops 5 speed ws6 suspension rear disc brakes black interior black honeycomb wheels basically how rare is this car and is there any real value behind it lol you guys would know alot more then i would lol like how sought after are they lol ive had this car since i was in high school and belive me now it shows lol rust doesnt eat sleep or take a vacation lol

 

1st off, I hope you don't mind that I fixed your post a bit so I could read it.
2nd, from one formula guy to another, nice car and welcome to the site.
As far as rare, punch your VIN into this site and it should get you close. http://www.compnine.com/vid.php.
Where in IL are you from? How bad is the rust?

 

no i dont mind u fixing it, im near chicago so yes well i drove it for 6 years in the winter. the drivers floor is gone i had doors painted and installed last summer the quarter panel has a small hole right after rear tire and the other side is rusting as well i mean the rust isnt too bad its just the underbody that needs love right now but i got a quote on the floors only to get done and he said if i took the entire interior out myself then brought it to him he said 2500 bucks im thinking about getting it done the quote for a full restoration was 12k ouch the thing cost i think 17k brand new lol it was my 1st sports car i owned i love the thing lol the gas mileage wasnt the best but damn did girls wanna ride in it with the t tops off lol

 

92 Formula TPI 5 speed is rare because that was the performance configuration. Most everyone knew a better performance model was on the horizon with the LT1 so the demand for 92's was low.

In your case, the rarity is trumped by the rust problem. Really nice examples can still be had for a very reasonable price so a full out restoration would be quite impractical.

 

Where near Chicago?

 

I have a 91 LB9/T5/3.42 posi/N10/CC1/J65/G80 Formula. Never seen another one

i live in the south suburbs of chicago soo yea its not bad bad rust its just working its way to damn near expensive lol but yea i love the car i had a guy make me an offer on it when i took it to a carshow and i was gonna put under the hood daily driven 1992-2009 lol but yea its got which i installed hooker shorty headers on it to flowmaster 40 series no cats soo its got a decent tone but for the rest its stock and i know that sought after lol especially nowdays

 

and to the t tops man guy who lives in illinois i like ur yellow one but yellow is a color thats soo noticable but by the cops yes ur noticable it remained stock becuase i lacked the funds 2 to mess with it lol and now i have the funds but its more or less do i want to spend the money on it because deep down im a big G body man lol

 

the buick grand national ever since i was a kid has been my dream car and since then ive been on the prowl for one cheap but at the same time thats a oxy moron they dont sell cheap unless their a heap lol but yea this firebird is amazing in my eyes lol

 

but t tops guy u can look in my album that i posted its current to see what it looks like now lol some1 side swiped me in a parking lot ****in chicago drivers lol thats why the right side is all impacted people these days have no respect

 

Is there a reason you seem to be totally against the use of punctuation?

 

lol that's pretty funny lol. Yea periods are kinda a waste of space lol less periods means more room for lol's lol.
Sorry, I had to. lol

 

Yeah, really Rando. It is soooooooooooooooooo hard to read a post with no periods, commas, sentence structure or capital letters.

 

Well im not in college anymore good sir, so i belive i stopped doing punctuation since then. But thats how i can type very fast by not using the proper typing. But as you can see i am skilled in this.lol

 

There you go, bro.

 

Yikes,

 

Funny picture it's kinda true. But I saw the pictures of your build you got going on, very impressive. I never messed with mine becasue of lack of funds and it was my daily driver forever, needed it to go to work couldnt let it sit in the garage. But i have never seen a tpi upper intake setup like that before ive only seen the holley high flow upper intake thats about it lol where instead of 4 runners on each side 2. None the less its still impressive,now the things i do know are that that a stock t5 can only withstand 230 hp max. Reason For the 305 being mandatory only option with a 5 speed. The Ls1 and Ls2 swaps are becoming very popular and more economical. So you can go fast and still drive it to work everyday.Which is a

 

I tried that for my car and got this

Nothing found for VIN Number 1G2FW21F9HN2303XX (Left out last 2 digits, was told not to post VINs). It may be that we don't have it in the database yet, but be sure to check that you have typed it correctly.

My car is a 1987 GTA Convertible. Has anyone else tried getting anything for 1987s yet?

 

Slowridr, compnine only has VINs from 90 and up..


I have a few projects.

 

Awesome garage! What's that 4th gen doing in there?

 

Im guessing its got something to do with SLP Im jealous of your garage.

 

Holy moly T top guy, you have one for almost every single day of the week now thats impressive. Yea why do you have a 4th gen in there. Let me guess gas mileage purpose lol Lt1 or ls1 lol

 

Ok I feel much better now. I was beginning to think some weird stuff was going on with my VIN. What are my other options in finding out about my SPID? Its no where to be found on my car. My apologies for the thread hijack.

 

The 4th gen is my wifes car (98 WS6) I had the rear emblem off so I could clean/detail the car and install the new WS6 emblem.

I also have 2 2nd gen formulas. One is a veeery early 70 Formula

 

Dude, that's quite a nice collection. Love your facility too. My 2 car garage in the suburbs just plain sucks.

 

I am so friggin jealous!!
