Bought a 2002 NBM WS6 6-Speed..... :D
I have been out of the game for a few years..... Im not new to these cars as I had twin Black WS6 cars about 5 years ago....a 02 M6 and a 2000 A4. Sold them and missed the 6-speed car pretty bad. I always wanted a NBM WS6 and decided a few weeks ago I was going to buy one..... So I did! Here are a few pics....Im super excited and making plans for Hot Rod Power Tour now There is a pretty good group/club here in Indy and going to have some fun with these guys also!
I posted a for sale thread in the classifieds....the wheels are for sale or trade. Going back stock or TT II's

Thanks chief! Im very excited
Thanks bro! I was thinking about some lowering springs. I wanted to research them on here a little bit. I have some questions about the ride and rubbing etc. Have any info to share?
Thanks bro! My next choice was white Nice Z!
Thanks bro! It has pace setter long tubes on it, texas speed off road Y, cross drilled and slotted rotors. I think it needs a tune??? Runs good, but just idles up and down kinda weird when your not on the gas. when your rowing thru the gears she runs great!
I was thinking about lowering springs as mentioned earlier.
I REALLY want to figure out how/if I can put C6 Z06 brakes on the car. Help here would be nice
I think I want to put TT II's on it..... but need to figure out my brakes before I do wheels....
CAI probably coming as well.
Open for suggestions!

Heres what it will look like lowered and with stock wheels...
And to address the brakes, why exactly do you want Z06 brakes? I actually came to the conclusion not to get them myself after years of wanting to upgrade to them. I asked myself, "Why do I want to get them?"
Do I frequent circuit tracks where after multiple hot laps my stock brakes will start to fade?
No, only track I go to is the drag strip.
Do I feel the car is having trouble stoping at the end of the quarter mile or in daily driving?
No, stock brakes seem great.
Pretty much the only reason I wanted the brakes is to tell people "I have Z06 brakes" At that conclusion I found out my money could be better spent else where. If you really feel your stock brakes aren't up to snuff a good brake pad will do wonders. If you think it needs a tune I'd wait until you have your last bolt ons/ maybe cam done then get it tuned.

Looking good man, NBM is a badass color! Really, really looks incredible when clean. You're going to love it.
But yeah, first thing I'd do is try to go back to some stock wheels before you do anything else. The stockers would make it look tons cleaner.
TheBlueKnight's exact wheel/stance setup would look absolutely sick on your car.

Ok... so on the brakes. The reason I wanted big brakes is because I was thinking about "Auto Crossing" the car some. Dont know if I need better brakes for this or not?? But if I did go with C6 Z06 brakes, Im sure a 17" wheel wont clear the brakes. Sooo I guess I have to figure this all out. You think I need better than stock brakes to auto cross? Thanks again!

Thanks bro! Yea...the rims just dont cut it for me....gotta go. Can all you guys keep a eye out for some stock rims please! If I dont hear of anything soon, going to go with some TT II's. They look sweet on this car as well!

Oh, I forgot to say, nice 300ex you got back there. My cousin had one back in like 98'? We thought that thing was so fast, it used to blow away our neighbor's Blaster. Then in 2000 I got a 400ex and that was like OMG the king of the hill, and now my 400ex is a turd compared to all the new quads out.

Thanks Turbo! I feel your pain bro! I sold my Black 02 WS6 a few years ago and could never get it out of my head. So I got tired of mising the car and bought this one. Maybe when the time is right you will get another one

The only quad I've ever lost to in a drag race is my friend's Banshee. I remember riding his Banshee and it would bog when you punched it at low RPMs but when it started going higher in the RPMs it would scream. I've always wanted one. The 300EX would definetely be a good quad for the misses. Here's me on my 400ex, bought killed myself a few times on it as well...
And the wife, I'd never let her actually ride it or she'd probably kill herself...
Sorry to derail this thread, back on track, get modding!
