But anyways its been changed and modified so its not really to much stock. Ill be dropping in a LT1 engine soon and what and i have plans on racing seats and all. Im not trying to falsify what my car is but i do believe it was a real formula but now been changed enough to really not matter. But nice car. I like it a good bit. Im not really goin for a stock look so by time my cars done it wont even look close to a formula.

 

Nice looking car...not a formula though. It's just a base firebird, but I love the 91-92 body style still.

 

 

Well I finally got the decals on mine. But I did a little customizing with them since the car isn't a formula model. But I think they look pretty good on it.

 

Ya know, these cars arent only ment to look good :P

 

now see, if GM would have shown more F-cars jumping off lawnmowers in their ads instead of silly crap like them going fast and handling (which most of the Third Gen cars couldn't do anyhow) they'd have sold a lot more...

 

speed meets versatility, the adrenaline junkies pocket knife: the thirdgen trans am

 

Hahahah nice!!!

 

haha! So true! Why would i get a car for speed and handling? Im pretty sure making my grass look great is more important than any stupid Horsepower rating

 

yessir! show that Z28 pulling a plow or that Trans Am running a bushhog. or perhaps show a nice IROC-Z with a salt spreader on the back and a Fisher plow on the front. show the utility side of these beauties!

 

hahahaha! That Sounds like a legit Commercial!

 

ahahah YES!

 

thats the exact picture that was in my mind when i said it. have a video commercial in the cheesy 80s old school sense with the guy that sounds like hes part of a sex ed video and call it a day

 

 

ahahahaa nice!

 

Some more,

 

I have definately seen that bird around, probably waved at him a few times even. Along with the 88 White GTA Ive seen around

 

'89 305 TPI, all original unmodified from nose to tail. 48,xxx original miles. No rust anywhere. Needed a little mechanical work from lack of use after I got it from its first and only owner. Running strong now.

 

Mav, that is a GORGEOUS car! Everytime I've seen that darker blue with silver, it's been on a beat car. Now that I see it on a perfect car, it totally changed my opinion of it. Awesome ride.

 

1991 Firebird. Can't tell but the drivers door is pretty well dented up, damn deer!

I'm putting a lot of work into come this winter and I'll put up more pics.

 

 

Did you come out to a few San Antonio F-Body meets? Also go to SA Community College? Post more pics!

 

No, haven't gone yet to any meet ups. Waiting for texas weather to cool off lil bit and wait til mid or late September to go show off KITT

 

Thanks, Devil, I appreciate that! Black had always been my first choice because I'm an 80's kid who grew up on Knight Rider (Nice ride, 87KITT!), but I've had black cars before. They're a pain in the *** to keep clean, and the Houston sun and heat would have destroyed the paint. I've also always loved the blue/silver combo. This car was too good to pass up.

 

PM me if you wanna get in touch with him, he's a real nice guy, about the nicest you'd ever meet.

mav...THAT BIRD IS GORGEOUS!!!!!

 

Well, since there has been literally zero comments on my two threads here, i will post mine in here as well with the new paint, all other sites i posted it on were glad to comment, but the one site full of third gen lovers has failed me, LOL.

 

one of the nicest red third gen i seen here ZONES89RS. Keep ur ride in plenty shade in our Tx heat. Mine is covered from car cover.

 

I normally detest aftermarket hoods on firebirds but with the black that doesn't actually look too bad! Nice!

 

Thank you, Formula!!

 

he actually kicked the 89 RS out of the garage since she looks so good now. Time to build a car port, one thing at a time, this is the wifes "other" ride.


Man, there are people that hate this hood, but like this, it changes their mind. It turned out so much better on the car than in my head, it is sexy, paint job is 3 days old now.

 

Looks good ZONES'

 

88' Trans Am 350, 63k miles. Suspension mods and GMMG exhaust.

 

I could really use those wheels right now, LOL.

 

Make an offer, I just parked the car for winter storage and I do have another set of wheels I'd like to get.

 

Scholtmj what are your rim & tire specs?

Thanks

 

If you were closer and i had the cash brother!

 

TT2 Classics with black painted centers. All 17x9.5 with 275/40-17 BFG G-Force KDs. Fronts have 6.0 inches back spacing and use a half inch spacer to clear the Baer brakes. Rears have 5.5 inches back spacing. Tires/Wheels were new in June so very few miles on the setup.

I'd like to run a front wheel without a spacer and I'm probably mini-tubbing my car this winter to make room for 315s.

 

 

They're pretty cool and shipping isn't bad to Texas - maybe $150 via freight.

 

 

This is best of the best

In English: Dreams come true
In Finnish: Toiveista totta ( my language )
In Swedish: Önske drömmar

 

Trust me, if i had the cash i would jump on those, they would look great on my TA.

 

nice car thinking bout painting mine this color and now definitely am. That is awesome!!

 

Damn, looking good man! IDK how I missed this...I was subscribed to your thread but havn't gotten any e-mail updates on it recently. Hood doesn't look too bad...not my favorite for a TA, but def not the worst lol. Did you ever end up turbocharging the 5.3 or did you leave it all motor?

 

No, sold the turbo, going to put the nitrous kit on it and run it with gas. The turbo setup was for making a nasty street car, but since i dont street race, i changed the plans.

 

Should still be pretty sweet with juice. Good luck with it. Let me know if you dyno it since I'm curious what an all motor 5.3 can do.

 

They make anywhere from 300-370 depending on mods. That is of course with heads for the high numbers.

 

Your car looks incredible IMO!! A simple clean look with very tasteful upgrades. One of the nicer Trans Am's I've seen on here in a while!

 

^x2 LOVE the wheel choice

Zones, love the hood!!!! always liked the hood and never seen em on a bird...till now nice man

87 kitt, clean ride man

Updates on my '89 Formula. Got it running! Tying up loose ends.
