Default BIG wheels & tires fitted! Think my Formula will hook now?
Isn't nothing like some good old proper engineering to make a project worthwhile. I wanted to be able to run my big wheels & tires to really hook next year, so, off to work I went.

Think she'll hook? My Formula has never felt this way before!

Matt...in a word, NO. Sunny and low 60's today. Can't wait to get my car back from the shop this week on next. Cage is in with a nice shiny NHRA sticker on it. Probably going up in power this winter, just deciding how much, but not in your league...yet. Ah, the joys of having tracks open all year.

Take care. Dave

As a fellow red Formy owner, I am also appalled.

I think your car looks better with the smaller wheels / tires package.....

I like how the offset is so fucked up. The wheels stick out probably 5 to 6 inches beyond the fenders.
