All our cars in one shot, kinda.
My Mom's Saab, my Dad's Focus, our Blazer, and the 240.

So how's it going, enjoying the power? Or I suppose after driving a Lambo it still feels like a luxury cruiser and nothing more. My only gripe with VEs is the steering wheel size, I hate big steering wheels, big key fobs too. I'm a big guy, so anything near my legs on the car that's oversized often makes heel-toe impossible, Falcons are horrible for it, remote size and the fact you can't point the steering wheel higher than at your balls means with the steering as high as possible, and the seat as low as possible, even regular braking is a concerted effort.[/rant]

Dude I want a 240, but you have got to get rid of the rust.
Daily drive a 2005 Pontiac GTO, Phantom Black Metallic with Black interior.
Mods:
Pacesetter Longtube Headers
Catless midpipes
Corsa Sport Catback exhaust
Ported throttle body
LS3/L92 heads milled 0.030
LS3 intake manifold
LS3 Injectors
Custom grind VA Speed camshaft
Built 4L60E Auto
3200 Vigilante Torque Converter
25% Underdrive Pulley
90mm HSW Nitrous Plate Kit Jetted for a 150rwhp shot.
Pedders Street II Suspension
Car dyno'd 450rwhp/419rwtq N/A, had some spray issues on the dyno so no good numbers on the nitrous for now. The car has been 11.88@119mph when it was exhaust only with a 100rwhp shot of nitrous. So far I have run 12.2@114mph N/A on the new build with street tires. Hoping for Mid-High 11's N/A and high 10's on the bottle once I can get some tire under it.
Dyno
Right after I installed the Corsa
12.2 pass (Magnaflow catback still on the car)

I see no rust.
Well except for maybe some near the dent on the drivers side, pic in another thread.

How did you see the chassis?
. The body actually isn't that bad, but the bits you can't see, that's were it's bad.

It's just the place where then paint wore off the plastic. It looks really bad in person, the picture doesn't even show it as bad as it is.

Yeah loving it, only taken it out a few days though as the Hilux is still my daily workhorse. (and i still need to organise insurance for it).
I don't mind the wheel size so much, it probably could be a little smaller but I love the thickness and shape, reminds me of a bigger version of the early 2000's M Sport wheel for the 5 series. Thick and chunky.
Its a bit of a luxury cruiser but I'm debating about joining the HSV owners club and doing a few track days and drivers courses with it, tyres are so bloody expensive for them though.
Going to get personalised plates and a catback for a bit more noise and that's probably it (for the moment anyway).

A few pics of my '98 Mazda Roadster VS Japanese Import,
1.8 Litre
6 Speed
Mazdaspeed Adjustable Suspension, Bracing and interior mods
K&N Typhoon Induction kit
ILM Stainless Exhaust
Stainless Steel Cockpit brace
15x7J Panasport Ultralight Alloys
Toyo T1R's
Fast road geometry by Wheels in Motion (Chesham)
It started out like this:-
I noticed it had some rust coming through on the passenger sill, it also had a hell of a lot of car park door dings so sent it in for welding and a full respray...
Never did like the green very much so chose a new colour. At the same time I had it de-badged, reflectors smoothed over and had the hard top sprayed to match.
Also a picture of my upgraded Mk1 Eunos daily driver...
Upgrades include -
Designer Rust, Optional Gaffer Tape enhanced roof, Hammerite black sills with filler enhancement, grip reducing tyres (all different), broken aircon, broken electric aerial, non existent brakes, one matte blue wing, optional slightly mismatched panel colours and of course a the compulsory rear window that can not be seen though. Seriously though, this one is a great little car and is mechanically spot on, just very very untidy in the bodywork, a new roof, alloys and tyres and this will do me fine for a daily driver for a few years.
