Got one question for you, even though it's way off topic: Is your Firebird a Formula or Just A fFirebird that you modified. Like my brother's 98 ...navymitch12 said:i just got the one from GM sorry
Still very Nice!navymitch12 said:its not mine but it is a true WS6 formula, and i know very rare car he was actually able to put classic insurance on it because its soo rare and he only drives in summer, when its not raining (drag radials dont like rain)
Jim, tell us about your wheels... Are you powder coating the stock ones? or are you buying new ones? Also have you done your rotors/calipers?Jim Lewis said:Updated photos, after the AEM short ram install, repainted valve cover, and some braided steel...
Black powder coated wheels happening this week...
Those are 225/45-17 Falken Azenis Sports, only 10mm larger than stock, but due to the sidewall stiffness and gnarly nature, they look WAY beefy. They also rub slightly when all four of us are in the car - the boys weigh 190 and 210, and the car is lowered 1.8". Shoulda stayed with the stock size. They were also a BITCH to mount. Strongest sidewalls of any tires I've ever mounted, and I've mounted thousands.MotorMouth said:Jim, your car looks sharp! Question for you, what tire size do you have on there?
How's the ride on them? I would think with the stiff walls they might be a little harsh. Also, how much different is the radius? I could calculate it but I'm too lazy to look for the formula.Jim Lewis said:Those are 225/45-17 Falken Azenis Sports, only 10mm larger than stock, but due to the sidewall stiffness and gnarly nature, they look WAY beefy.
