Right guys, after the recent thread regarding stanced cars etc i have decided on a plan for my MB6. I was showing my mate in work the cars on the stanced thread and mentioned how much i love a deep dish! He then went on his phone and showed me Rota Grid V alloys. I had an instant trouser tent and loved the thought of my car with those on it. The wheels and thread got me thinking. The background to my decision; I have a wedding coming up in March...including a honeymoon to fund...and some credit card to still pay off. I had always planned to get a new car at some point (after paying off wedding debt), a car with power, like Subaru/Evo. Two guys in my work have recently bought Subaru wrx's and this put me off the whole fast car completely as its proved too common a choice. I really do like the MB cars, i always have. I feel that they are a practical, sleeper, reliable motor that i'm quite attached to and love driving! Some of you may relate to that, some won't! Anyways, i spoke to her tonight and said that i plan to take out x amount of loan to pay off my credit card and pay for the honeymoon to Mexico. Any left over i will spend on my car as i plan to keep it, as i have spent a few quid getting it modded to my needs. I sealed the plan by saying (in truth) that paying the honeymoon back when its been paid for on card will take the same time to pay off a personal loan. Sold! Car Plan Details; Meister R coilovers Skunk2 Front Camber Kit (cheap makes have poor ball joints that last months only) Skunk2 Rear LCA's & Top Camber Arms (apparantly cheap makes have cheap metal that shear) Rota Grid V (black colour) 16" Et20 http://www.ebay.com/itm/16X8-ROTA-GRID-V-WHEELS-4X100-RIM-0MM-OFFSET-FLAT-BLACK-FITS-4-LUG-MIATA-/330849999103 Tyres (size unknown for now) Arches Rolled and Flared http://chizfab.com/ (with possible golf mk1 arches included) http://retrorides.proboards.com/thread/152787/fat-honda-mb6-vti Rear Spoiler + Paint http://www.nicedeals.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=5906 Nearly all of my mates are mechanics so i will bung one of them a few quid for their help to fit all suspension! The cost for all this is approx £2300. Coupled with all the brakes being uprated, rust free underneath and an engine that is looked after, it makes for money well spent if it lasts me another couple of fun filled years. Leaving the engine as it is..that would be a whole new money pit in getting some extra bhp! I am not going down the stanced route with mega camber etc. I want a flush look and able to drive it. The arches will see that i dont have to have it on its arse! Constructive critasism/thoughts are always welcome. Alastair

Seen this the other day! But years ago I was told never buy a car from Birmingham

epic! love m's in white!

FINALLY!!!!! you have waited tooo long before getting yourself a thread on here Hubert with this epic car

Nice looking M and some. Nice mods tooo

Lovely looking car! I had Nankangs on my accord...banana skins grip better! Take ur time please!

Some nice updates, nankang ditchfinders though. Now can we talk about the under bonnet bits??

Ahh right. Only bought that after being told it all over the net lol. Will get some 10w40 as it is a high miler at 140k

I do love an MB in white. And I want to know the full story of it too. Updates please.

Veeerrrrry NICE! I am pretty sure the MB6 doesn't look like that now?

x2, you can get away with 5w40 but 5w30 is way too thin.

Looks great white. Very nice!!

That's a sweet white MB6 mate!

I got a mate who's a painter and decorator... He decided he wanted to paint something that wasn't skirting board. So he did me wheels. It's 2k paint and lacquer. Done for free

I have always said... Why do people put 'Type R' badges or 'VXR' badges on their cars which are not the sort... So I would fall into that category with my 'Hooning Is Not A Crime' sticker if i didnt take her out hooning!! Thats my excuse to the missus... "It says on my window that i Hoon so i have to, I dont make the rules!" Lol

I had a mk1 lwb 2.5 turbo diesel on compomotives and BFG AT's. Was awesome until it rusted into a pile of dust! While we're loosely on the subject- the vehicle I wanted as a kid more than anything. Stuff the A-team van, submarine Lotus, Trans-Am with a red light on the front or a Dodge with no working doors. Hilux + Daylighters = Hell Yeah! I also like that gen of Micra .

Yeah, it will look a little odd I think. Stop mucking about and get that thing slammed.

Congratulations! Wow what a heat for the last month of the year!! Well deserved mate

You need to see it in person!!

Congrats James! Another stunning M to an already stunning line up of M's for COTY!

Well done James, wicked car a well deserved car of the month There will be only one winner of coty, the rest of us may aswell withdraw now

Wink wink

did you get the wheels balanced as well or are they buckled? I have a set of dc2 wheels and 3 was mint till I got the tyres changed and that's when it hit the fan :( when the new weights went on it all went tits up and have took them off for now. check front anti roll bar joints or wheel bearings as well. and might have rear engine mount for you as well,(will look and find out).
