Small vid of the Formula

Here is a small vid of the formula I got today, the quality for some reason gets bad after I transfer it.

Steve, car looks and sounds great much better than the old one. We need to race seeing that we were the two slowest cars on last years list, but I think you might take me now.

Well I was LAST on the list! It would be a fair race I think. I want to bring it down to Sac next weekend and just play around for the day.

When is yours going to be fixed? What all are you doing to it again? I know your spark plug hole was stripped.

Re: Small vid of the Formula

Thank you. Yes, I did decide to keep it. I deleted all my videos from my computer and can't remember what disc they're on. Here is the only one I can find right now. I wish it would have been running long enough to get some more, better vids.

Here are some pics of it's current state.

Re: Small vid of the Formula

that is an awesome car man. it was this car that got me in to 91-92 formulas. have you thought about painting the air dam black for a cleaner look?

that video isnt as good as the original one posted, i cant wait till you get the car on the road and get more pics/vids of it

Re: Small vid of the Formula

Yeah I'm going to paint the airdam, the black plastic pieces inside the bumper and tint the lights in the bumper too. I think it'll clean it up nicely.

Joey, yep, I'm moving. We already got the loan and will be going up to look at about 5-7 houses at the end of the month. One has a 4 car garage, 1 of them being an rv garage so you know what that means, LIFT!

Re: Small vid of the Formula

Sounds awesome Steve.

I'm a little bummed about losing you from the fold but that's not likely on the boards anyway. At least our paths crossed in reality at least once.

Please keep us posted on what happens with everything (especially the car).

Re: Small vid of the Formula

Definately. I am kinda sad to be moving but this will be a better move for the family so I can't say no. You never know, I might drive down for a big Socal/Norcal gtg if it ever happens, only an 8 hour drive from where I'm at anyway. I will be purchasing some things in the next few weeks so I can get it back on the ground and rolling. I need the Sportlines, brakes, and front control arm bushings. Atleast I got rid of most of the big heavy loose stuff laying around.
