hey guys. how's it goin? im new here, just picked up a 94 formula with 189k on the clock. dont know too much about the car yet as i have not alot of information from the previous owner. apparently it has a lt1 from a 97 camaro ss with about 70k on it. also has a mild cam, hooker short tubes, borla 3 inch with no cat, shift kit, 3000rpm stall converter, and a b&m shifter. when i find out more i will let you all know and i shall try to get some pics up soon. good to be a member.

Sounds like a nice mix of good parts ya got there. Welcome to the source, have fun with your Bird.

is it due for a tune-up? when you keep these birds in shape they deliver. congrats on your collectible. hope you never sell it.

Welcome to the Source!!

Sounds like a nice car. Now all we need are pictures!

If you have any questions, feel free to post them up. Someone here will be more than happy to help.

it definitly is in need for a tune up, haha! its rough around the edges but i will put in some time on it. on the list so far is the check engine light(prob an o2 sensor that is not hooked up on the drivers side header) it has some rear end vibration that needs to be sorted out, a trans cooler is in line soon, the flywheel and torque converter are exposed on the bottom, needs the lower cover(second half of the bell housing?). either way the body is very clean for a 94 with 190k on the clock. the interior is so-so. engine is quiet. and it seems to be a real enjoyable car! will post pics this weekend if it stops raining. thanks for the welcomes everyone.

forgot to mention 373 gears

here are a few crappy pics

Good lookin'' Bird man.

those rims look like the Gran Prix and Bonneville's, are they?

I think those are actually off a newer firebird it looks like...


Good lookin birdy tho...

thanks, my buddy has dubbed it the "spicy chicken"

it gets to me when they refer to these vehicles as "spicy chicken" or "pollo loco" or "thunder chicken" or just anything chicken. it's like you are taking away its dignity, degradiing it and figuratively calling it a chicken. well first of chickens don't fly. the bird on the decal is called a phoenix.

but then again you can have a really powerful chicken, but it's just those stereotypes, adjectives associated with the word chicken that don't match up with the car. it's like calling this big time weighlifter a chicken after he beats up some dude as his size for calling him names. regartdless of anyone, i will always refrain from calling my bird a chicken.

Definently Not ''chicken''. If anyone disagrees refer them to the 252 mph T/A for starters! Enough said.

Welcome and nice bird you've got there! I really do like white f-bodies for some reason, you can really do them up nice. Maybe some black rims with the chrome lip ;-)

just got some corvette zr-1 wheels, black with machined lip. good taste freshbake. haha.

and also i will always call my firebird some type of chicken oriented name, its just funny, and its not hurting the cars feelings and does not make her perform any worse. a buddy of mine had a v6 firebird back in the day and his was dubbed the firechicken because he had the v6 model. so when i got mine it was dubbed the spicy chicken because it was a firebird with a v8 that has some balls so hence the spicy part.

Nice choice on the black ZR-1's, i was VERY close to picking some up for my car in december..but i went with the TTII's instead. I still kinda wish i got them tho, they look killer.
