marv Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 HI guys, thought id start a wee build thread on my MB6. Had it a few weeks now and really enjoying it being our family car. Here's some pics that I received from the seller.It already had the headlights painted,grille and horrible aftermarket alloys lol All iv done so far is repair the heater resistor, replaced a broken thermostat and fitted a stainless steel B pipe along with a custom CAS built back box and I made my own mesh grille. The car is to be a sensible family car but il tinker away with it when i can, I have a bandit 1200 that keeps me occupied also Plans are to source some standard rims, sort out the boat like handling and perhaps change the bus like steering wheel lol. Here are some pics of the grille and exhaust, will try get her cleaned and get some better pics up soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vtec2011 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Nice looking MB6 mate. I'm not a fan of those wheels too but I quite like how the tyres poke out a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marv Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 Yeah the wheels suck lol have a good offset but with the soft suspension, child and buggy in the car it rubs Guy at the exhaust shop had a aerodeck vti that might be getting scrapped so I'm hoping I can get the standard rims off it if he does.

marv Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 What size wheel and tyre combo are they?Think they are aez 16x7 unsure on offset and the tyres are 205 55 16 I think. Would maybe look better with lower profile tyres and some coilovers lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Does look really nice mate. Pretty clean and tidy hey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marv Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 Yeah she's pretty clean. I'm looking into getting some 96 spec teg wheels I do like a clean engine bay sonic already removed the ac, would like to do a wee wire tuck at some point too. Don't think I'll put the battery in the boot on this car as the big boot is handy for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marv Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 Got the flange tig welded onto the decat,gave it a polish up and fitted it tonight.Cars still quiet on idle and now has a little rasp once vtec engages, it's not overly loud which is what I wanted. Seems to pull better now too have to get a decent manifold at some point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
