Good choice on the Formula. I absolutely love mine. I got my 95 and drove that for about 6-8 months before I upgraded. My Formula did get better fuel economy that my V6 car. It'll be interesting to compare them once I get all three of them running.

Or if you dont have a enough money for new wheels just do like i did, and get some duplicolor wheel paint in a rattle can and paint them black. Made a world or difference in the way the car looks until you can afford some nice ones.

Ive got a 94 formula as well, going on 5 years of ownership next month. it hasn't run for half of it but thats mostly my fault haha.

do yourself a favor and just do boltons then STOP modding. I had the most fun in my car when I had boltons only. a nice set of longtubes, electric cutout, and stock exhaust. put some 3.42s or 3.73s in it, cold air intake, and a decent torque converter and drive it, enjoy it.

this is my car:
