SOLD
Circumstances are such that I need to sell my NX. I love the car, but I have recently moved to Southern California and I can't justify the time and expense to bring the car out here from New Jersey.
I left the car garaged at my Aunt's house when I moved at the end of July and it has been residing there since. I recently flew back to New Jersey, took the car out for a drive up to Connecticut to visit friends, and the motor spun a bearing as I crossed over into New York. At least I think that's what happened - the car starts up, runs and drives, but there is a loud banging which developed and reciprocates with the engine. The engine oil level was up to full, but I must admit I was enjoying the upper rev range of the engine, which, if it is original, has about 165k on it.
Here's the thread I posted when I bought the car at auction:

Since buying it, I tuned it up, cleaned it up, and upgraded it sensibly with quality parts intending to keep it as a track day car. Thus I went through the brakes completely and replaced the worn out stock suspension. I didn't do much to the motor because I planned to track it and wanted it to be reliable. I figured the motor would probably let go eventually anyway, I just had hoped to actually get it on a track first, which never happened... Ah, the best laid plans...
Below is a current mod list. If I forgot something I'll amend it. All parts were purchased new and have less than 1000 miles on them unless otherwise marked.

I would like to get $3500 for the car as it sits. That means I'm taking a $1700 loss on the project, which is more than I originally bought the car for. I am not willing to part the car out since I'm residing across the country - please don't ask. This is a rust-free NX that lived most of it's life in Nevada. It's got a lot of nearly new and expensive parts on it. With a new DE installed and some S4s, or a VE dropped in, this car would be a fantastic track toy.
Thanks,
Marco
...Well, it's got a good motor, but not the good suspension...
