some newer pics...bought 20" irocs for the s10 but decided to swap out 2 for the rear of the t/a for an 18/20 combo

 

This thread makes me sad. I wish I still had my '87 GTA.

Anyone wanna trade for a 4th gen 3.8 powered firebird??

 

Whats the deal with the 83 bird??? Any pics of the 87 still??? And atleast you stuck with another firebird so you can still do this lol-->

 

Only good pic of the '87 since I had lost it before I had internet.

The 83 needs work to be anywhere near nice.



Pop ups needs wiring and another motor, dents on the door and 1/4 panel and the hood had hail damage. Would take alot of work to get it to look nice.

Plus it was a v6 car so it'll need more work to throw a v8 in it.

 

Nice 87...the 83 looks like a good project, but lots of work...way beyond my knowledge and abilities but good luck man

 

Great pics. Nice to see our cars get some exposure.

CLEAN ride!!! Love the GTA digital dashes...16k miles? impressive man, looks all original

 

Thanks. Its all original. When I bought it, it had an aftermarket alarm in it. I pulled that out and replaced the lower dash panel under the steering wheel and the radio bezel with NOS pieces because they had been drilled. The only thing under the hood that is not original is the alternator.

 

That car looks familiar

 

My 1991 Firebird Formula..im a 17 year old girl and this is my summer car can't wait to show it off to all the guys haha!

 

this is my 86 i got in august of 09, seats were original and ripped apart, most of the interior trim was gone, its in the shop as of 2-25-10 for paint

 

new carpet, new head liner, new dash, 4th gen seats

 

Exactly... I dont know if I wanna mess with it. But what else can I do if nobody will buy it?

lol

 

first car a formula??? pretty lucky if so...sweet ride

 

Interested to see the paint job...were did you get the center console done at? Not to sure about the wheels but looks better than the beat up stock ones for sure...also do the 4th gen seats bolt right in???

 

Thats a sign...also you have a DD so if it was me I would work on it on my free time or of course when I have the $$$ good luck man

 

Heres my 82 Firebird and the 383 Stroker build thats swappin out the original v6 this week...

 

Verhagen82, BIGGER PICS...looks sick nonethless!!! maybe some before and after burnout videos lol

 

Oo, my bad on the pictures, the motor pic is off of my phone and i cant get any bigger, but here is a big pic of my car itself.

 

yup i just got my first car on thanksgiving of 09 and then a week later my dad told me to come over because he had a suprise for me and when i pulled up it was parked in the driveway once it gets nice out ill be driving it everywhere. i cant wait!!

 

Here is my '86 Trans Am. I am currently in the process of installing a 305 TPI from a '91 T/A which has been upgraded with an LT1 cam and headers. It has the WS6 package and a newly rebuilt 700R4. The wheels in the pic have been sold. I have the stock T/A wheels on my Camaro right now but they will be going back to the 'Bird once its running.

Looks like your almost done, motor looks pretty clean how many miles?

 

Yeah, it just needs the plug wires routed and accessories hooked up. Don't remember how many miles are on it. I got it from Iansane (member on this board) after he did an LSx swap. It ran strong in his T/A with a Stealth Ram on it. He killed his T56 with it a few times!

 

2 T/As joining forces ...
my buddies GTA with ZZ4 motor and ram air hood

 

.

 

Old pics I have from about 2 years ago, only ones I can find at the moment. 61K miles, I'm the second owner. Sharp eyes will see under drives pulleys, Edelbrock waterpump, and SLP cold air. Other than that all original, even have the original documents 9/87 build date. I just cruise in it really..

 

I haven't seen either one of your cars around town. Looks like i'm not the only thirdgen sporting the Ram Air II hood in Tampa.

 

/\
Were in Port richey...what part of Tampa you from???

 

Clean Formula...there has been a few low mileage formulas on this site recently...LUCKY BASTARDS...lol...any future upgrades/mods???

 

the seats do just bolt in, everything lined up perfect

 

those are some really nice pics

 

Wow, some really, really nice cars. BigBadGta, I don't know if I've ever seen a prettier third gen. And kevin89formula, that thing is just wicked.

I've got the black formula on pg 2 with the BMW 18" rims. Figured I'd toss in a photo of what I've been up to since the last post. Here's the engine last Saturday as I was wrapping up getting it all back together. Should be in this weekend, along with the new T56.




The whole thread on my build is up here:
https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/memb...engineers.html

Should be making great leaps and bounds this weekend, stay tuned!

I live out towards Plant City but I work off Hillsborough/Armenia.

 

My 1991 Formula 350 Show N Go. It is 1 of only 1,197 with the L98 Performance Package. There are bolt-on only mods are from SLP/ Edelbrock/ MSD/ Hotchkis/ BORLA/ Alston Racing and more. Currently has 58,000 miles and still has the original Bright Red finish. Exterior mods are 1991-92 GTA tail lamps and molded Red Firebird on the nose from a 1993 Firebird. The car was featured in High-Tech Performance magazine and currently has run a best 1/4 of 13.79 @ 100 mph.

 

Once I get done here at school (graduate in may) I plan to restore the wheels, fresh tires, and rebuild the front/rear suspension (new bushings and the like), have a NOS set of SLP headers and a new cat for it also.. Other than that Im just going to keep it as clean as I can and have fun with it, its my cruiser I got my Nova for going fast and beating on lol

 

those notchbacks are very sweet gtafanatic, was that an led i saw under front of the hood?

 

Was that the 3rd brake lite with the 350 that lights up that you were referring to on the rear hatch (not the hood) ?

Another low mileage formula...where are these coming from lol...very nice BTW, are those aftermarket gta wheels???

 

[quote=maks10;4459773]I bought them from Classic Industries about 15 years ago for $500.00 for the entire set. They are now being offered again in their latest catalog only now they are $700.00. When I compared them to the GM wheel, they were identical except for a small GM emblem stamped into the rear hub. I used the chrome center caps and black WS6 centers and used chrome lug nut covers from a 1993-95 Bonneville because they have a longer length than stock. They are a BITCH to clean because EACH wheel has 80 openings X 4. That's 320 holes that need to cleaned from the brake dust after every car show or drag race.

 

Thanks a lot man! I really like your car too, those wheels are sweet looking! good luck on your build!

and edpontiac91, that formy looks great! I love tastefully modded cars!


I took a snap of my car today right after its weekly bath.

 

Though I'm sure its been seen before...

 

^Nice man...the only thing your missing is some nice exhaust tips...you running spacers in the back?

 

Yeah, I am running spacers at all 4 corners. I disagree though, I think the car looks much cleaner without pipes breaking the body lines anywhere. Just my opinion though.

Thanks for the compliment.

 

nice story behind the t/a...where did you grab those seats?

 

I bought the seats from www.arizenracingsports.com

They make a great product, we're friendly and easy to work with and I would highly recommend them to anyone. Couldnt be happier with them and can't wait to get a cage in the car so I can use a harness

 

That's a nice looking ride man! You're from Sarnia, Ont. eh? Wow, you are only an hour from my neck of the woods. I'm down in Chatham Kent. I'll try to post some pics of my 86 Trans Am.

 

took these pics about an hour ago...tinted my windows yesterday!
