My new car

Drove it from Chicago to Calgary, Alberta.

89 Formula 350--most of the usual options.

Was rebuillt with

Edlebrock Aluminum E-Tec 170 heads
SLP Runners
SLP Headers (dual cat)
Borla exhaust
TPIS ZZ9 cam
1.6 Gold Cranerockers
Custom software

700R4 rebuilt with the usual parts+ 2400 B&M holeshot
Rebuilt 9 bolt 3.27

Subframe connectors, Hothkiss Strut bar and TDS wonderbar have been added along with all poly bushings. KYB GR2 Struts as well.

The paint and body are mint conditon due to alot of time and effort spent doing the job right. PPG Artic white

I even have T-top shades!! I never head of them before.

The ridiculous Intrax springs are being taken out. It's just too low unless the world had perfect roads.

Formual 350 decals and 16" Trans AM (the 20 slot ones) will be going on someday.

Re: My new car

Intrax huh? How are they, handling wise? Soft? STIFF? My area is pretty dang smooth. No poiholes, no big dips, etc.

I'm tired of the 4x4 stance on my GTA.

.
I don't find the ride objectionable--they are on the stiff side though.

As for handling...the car was full of lugagge the whole trip so I wasn't gonna try to generate any high G-numbers.


I just want the freedom to drive the car anywhere and the way it sits now I feel I can't do that.

I'll sell them to you if you like

Re: My new car

Not a bad looking car....although their coming out the lowering makes it look badass. Maybe some Eibach Pro-Kit Springs?

That low, I expect them to be on the stiff side. My WS6 springs are exactly soft. Real stiff? No, but not soft.

How much, total cost, with shipping to 78717?

thx for the complimets. Formulas are very rare in this city--I see one or 2 a month--usally the same ones!

I knew some one was bound to make the bumper comment--hehe--not gonna happen. My wife hats the Banshee front--I don't mind it--but I like mine better.

I'll get some more shots soon--when its raised (in getting that done tomorrow)
