still4punk · 02-17-2008, 05:52 PM

budgetNX · 02-17-2008, 06:18 PM

hahaha. and your car is much heavier haha.

that car is pretty quick when it runs right lol

still4punk · 02-18-2008, 07:11 AM

what does nx weigh? mine weighs 2536 according to se-r.net without driver of course.

budgetNX · 02-18-2008, 04:18 PM

honestly i have no idea. i tried looking it up and couldnt find it anywhere

budgetNX · 02-18-2008, 10:10 PM

well, today i cleaned up the shop and pushed the NX outside.. bolted the header back up.. and started right up.. almost 3 months sitting on jack stands.. tires still had air in them, and almost a full tank of gas (what a waste just sitting there)

soooo i decided to take it for a spin.. just like u see it in the pictures.. no fenders, no bumpers, no hood, no lights of any sorts but i did decide to throw on the smoked tails..

and all i could say was.... ahhh.. still have a sh*tt a$$ grin on my face.. took some corners.. man it handles better than my jeep.. and JUST MY LUCK.. a cop follows me down the road.. AND DIDNT PULL ME OVER!!!!!!!!! ??!?!?! bout sh*tt myself..

talked to the painter today.. said he can do my car within the next two weeks.. im stoked!

well i changed my mind yet again..

first it was black.. then gunmetal.. then gunmetal and black tu tone. then it was silver with blue flake. then just silver.. and now the white that came on the cadillac escaldes. like a pearl ivory..

think it will look tight with black wheels, all black lights. and eventually mayb a carbon fiber hood.

and mayB paint my intercooler black even though i dont like the whole "sleeper look"

Dbarnett88 · 02-19-2008, 03:57 AM

i say you go escalade white pearl with a slight hint of gold flake... that would look soo sick!

budgetNX · 02-19-2008, 12:02 PM

thats exactly what i was thinking. i sure hope its ready for GG

budgetNX · 02-21-2008, 10:00 PM

today i made a air diversion panel

looks alright IMO

(and yes i do realize it does next to nothing on an NX with its hood/bumper design)

budgetNX · 02-21-2008, 10:02 PM

and it needs to be buffed again to get rid of those buffing marks

2sNoAR · 02-21-2008, 10:29 PM

love the progress maaayn!

i wish i had time to work on my car, school and work keeps me busy

anyway, keep up the good work!

budgetNX · 02-22-2008, 12:05 AM

thanks man. even though it sucks that im unemployed its nice because i have time to f with my car. time is starting to crunch though *** my daily driver (jeep cherokee) developed a rod knock

i needa get the nx back together asap.

buuuuut until it gets painted i think im going to make a fstb.. put my lights in the trunk.. and mayB even attempt to make a custom dash insert.
