Member Profile - Matt's H6

[Matazlin]

Hi guys

A good 3 years after getting a hold of the car, the profile is finally here

My first car was a 1994 Mitsubishi Lancer GLXi. Great run around but needed something a little more refined for the 60km round trip to work and back.

Ended up with a 2006 3.0r Spec B 6MT with about 120,000km in the beautiful Urban Metallic Grey (45A).

Looks awesome! Love to see even more pics!

[Matazlin]

Thanks Benny! Been wanting a photoshoot for a while but have never had the time to do it. Now that I do, the car's in a bad way, so soon hopefully

[BigBCalais]

Such a good looking car, the Jdm fronts are mint

[KelvinTaylor88]

Were you at the big JDM car meet in Keysborough the other night?
A bunch of us club lib guys went and thought I saw your car in the bunnings car park!

They sure are couldn't stand the look of the standard 3.0r fronts

Yeah I went with a couple of other mates, otherwise would've met up with you guys at Springvale instead. Saw you guys all parked up the corner at Masters. Quite a sight to see so many together haha

All good man, loved the look your car! Although you did ruin my dream of being the only one there with a jdm front end haha
Where'd you get the eyelids from by the way? Thinking they might finish off the front end look of my own car.

[Matazlin]

Quick little update...

Found out that the PROVA wheels are on backorder and take at least 3 months to arrive and they're almost $100 more than the DAMD unit that I've now decided to order Should arrive within the next week or so

Cheers Kelvin! Your car looked pretty boss as well, just think you need a badge or some kind of emblem in the grille but that's just me The eyelids are from Ultrex, they're not the best fitting but for the price you get them for they're pretty good. Definitely adds a bit of aggression to the front end. If you're willing to spend a bit more on them, Japanparts would be your best bet for some ideas.

Yeah I'm still tossing up whether to put a badge in the grille or not, waiting till I have the right coloured grille before I make a decision! Not a fan of the corazon badge and annoyingly my original subaru badge got lost at the panel beaters
Your's does look great with the badge, definitely food for thought.

Where was your car parked Matt?

[HardwareBoB]

Here -

[KelvinTaylor88]

Here -

Oh yeah of course! I was just a couple of spots down.

[Matazlin]

Where was your car parked Matt?

Car was parked in the Bunnings opposite. Arrived just as it started, meaning that the Masters carpark was already packed. Walked past your car a few times and I must say that these cars do look quite the part in white. Those flashing LED indicators were a nice little touch, those are next on the list for me

A little update. Been a while since I've been here due to work and such:

New 358mm DAMD steering installed. Considered a Prova wheel but after hearing what constant handling of alcantara can do to it, I stuck with a leather option





Wheel feels alright at the moment, leather is still a bit new so should turn into quite the steering wheel after a bit of use and wearing in.


New shoes for her as well
Volk Racing CE28RT Black Edition 18x9.5 +40 wrapped in Kumho Ecsta Sport KU39 245/35ZR18





Had one of the wheels dropped by the tyre fitter 8 weeks for another unit

A few derp pics for now, better ones coming when I can be organised enough to get a photoshoot done


New front bar freshly painted with an STi lip installed as well with a Corazon grille to top it off

[bigBADbenny]

What the?
That's why I learnt to fit my own tyres
