I just bought a 95 Formula and it has some work done to it.
Things I k ow of are....
1. Cam... It's big and lumpy at idle. Enough so it shakes the whole car.
2. Shift kit...... No clue on the brand. If you push the accelerator pedal too far down when taking off the rpms will climb to redline befor 1-2 or 2-3 shift. When doing this it is a garuntee that one of the rear tires will chirp upon shifting. If your easy on the pedal it shifts harder than what I thinks normal but not as if your necks going to break.
3. 373 gears..... Def not stock because the speedo has been verified as bring off by 4 mph......( car going slower than speedo reads).
4.posi rear..... Is it stock or aftermarket? I know with one tire off the ground I can't turn the lifted wheel at all. Yet as mentioned before...... She only chirps one tire on hard shifts.
5. Computer tune.... No clue what or who did it.
I bought this car from a freind who bought it from the original owner. My freind never thought to ask about the work because he was going to build it into a track day car and he had planed to re do it all.
Good thing is I only spent $2500 on the car and it only has 122k on it.
Gas mileage has only been 16-17 mixed on a full tank of premium.
I have no plans to take the car to the strip and I'm looking to get a lil mpg back. What would bet me a few mpg's more......
I've already considered yelling the cam and trying somthing mores stockish but have no clue what would be the best option.
I guess what I'm trying to figure out is what I could/ should remove to get the mpg's up and what parts i should use as the replacements........
