Tuesday, June 29, 2010 8:35 PM
Hey guys I used to be pretty active back when JBO had meets in socal but have since sold the car and moved on to the car I was working toward. I wanted to post some pictures up since she is starting to look less stock.

Here is my old sunfire that some might remember.





here is the new love













thanks for checking it out

Beautiful car, I've always been a fan of the GTO. I love all the subtle mods. Looks awesome!

thanks guys. I'm just really torn on what wheels to get. I can't decide on a size or style. i've been debating for a good 6 months now. It was so easy with the sunfire...

Nice car. For rims, I'd recommend something clean and simple with a nice lip. IMO, the stock wheel diameter is perfect on those cars. Staggered fitment is a must, too.

That is sleek.

Huge jump from one Pontiac to another.

Just sayin'.

RWD FTW! I hope my next car is RWD. Either a boosted 4 or an all-motor V8.

^That.
Leave it as is, looks great. That was second favorite color on the GTO, second only to red.

Both are "V" cars. The GTO is the next gen Catera but only has 2 doors.

love the grey, wish it was a bit darker but id still rock it.

if this car is even half as nice as your sunfire you'll be doing good.

ps, keep the lines in the carpet! P



180hp in 1989 or 145hp in 2002, you decide. >

NICE! I remember the 'Fire, especially that license plate, I'd laugh every time I saw it. As for the Goat, that is gorgeous! the 6.0's are just sick, and I love the color and simple mods! Wheels, maybe some American Racing Torq Thrust II's...

Catera has nothing to do with teh Commodore. the Catera and the GTO are the same body (different generations but very close). The G8 is a Commodore however. Opel/Vauxhaul used the V platform before the Monaro came out.
