Hayden's NA6 Adventure!
Posted: Tue May 27, 2014 8:26 am
Howdy all.
Been hanging around for ages, creeping and stalking my around some of the of the awesome build threads on this page. #inspiredasballs. Finally took the plunge September last year and bought myself a high km, cheap and cheerful NA6!
Took the red-eye flight down to Rockhampton cash in my bag waiting to be burnt! $5000 and 9 hours later (yep 9 hours at a strangers house o.O) I was finally looking at the 8 hour drive home in my new toy
After dodging kangaroos bigger than my car a succession of (somewhat larger than I remember) road trains, I finally made it home to Townsville at 2:00am.
Finishing up the roady in Rockhampton. Grandpa spec if you’ve ever seen it.
Relatively stock besides a cheap set of 14’s, pod filter & exhaust. Have since dumped the pod filter for the stock box, kept the exhaust as it wasn’t so bad.
Home safe looking massive next to my girlfriend’s Integra.
Out with the old, in with the new. Also had to replace both front hubs as the bearings were shot.
First real present for myself. A set of Gloss Black Konig Wideopen 15x8 +20.
Paired with a set of Kumho KU31 205/50R15.
Losing the crud parts for some OEM goodness.
Still can’t get over the size of this thing. Had to repair the brittle & faded finish panel.
Lost the spoiler in a freak boot closing accident. Oh well, was meaning to lose it anyway……
Next real present!! A set of BC Racing BR Coilovers.
As it sits today. Ride height yet to be dialled. Waiting for the springs to settle then off to Jax Quickfit Townsville for an alignment to 949 settings.
Any criticism is welcome, first time modifying a car….apparently it’s quite addictive. Love this car to bits an cannot wait to get it out to the track.

Wire brushed them and got it to rotate, but it's looking like a full rebuild is in order to see this conversion happening.
Highly recommended for a street setup.
