Time for a new daily driver

I miss shifting gears so time to say goodbye to the formula. I wish I could keep it as its a great car, but I don't have to room. I gonna list it for $3200 obo, should give me enough for what I want.

I'm confused, are you selling because you don't have room, or because you miss shifting gears?
It sounds like you have your eyes on something else, which would take up room too buddy.
Isn't Bennie putting headers and shocks on your Formula right now??
Crazy guy. Finish the IROC!

Re: Time for a new daily driver

yeah, the car is at bennie for header back exhaust and shocks. I like the formula the auto is great for daily driving just not fun with spirited driving. I'm selling it so I have room for the next.


I'm still working on the Iroc I have a harness and ECM on the way, I also have a nice intercooler waiting in my living room

Re: Time for a new daily driver

car was stock when I got it. radio exhaust everything stock. runds good I changed all the fluids(havn't changed the coolent but I have it and a 160 t-stat for it). bennie is installing GR-2 shocks, hatachi mini starter, edelbrock headers, magnaflow cat, dynomax 3" I-pipe/over axle pipe, and spintech muffler. I have a used K&N filter waiting for it as well as plugs, wire, cap, rotor, coil.

has p/w, p/m, pl, a/c was told it is still r12 stock radio works don't know if the tape player works. fadded paint interior is pretty clean but has signs of wear on driver seat and top of the rear seat backs. also has stock floor mats f/r
