Saving an NX

Big Ben · 08-08-2008, 03:00 PM

I bought the NX off of a local forum member, he was going to send it to the scrap yard. DJ(BORNGEARHEAD) and I have been working on it for the last few weeks. It is a 92, it came with AGX's, SSAC header, drilled rotors, Fidanza Short throw, Ebay strut bar, and ES MMIs. Here is some of the progress so far:

The Dash was pretty cracked and some other parts were broken so we are in process of switching out for a mint interior

Fixing the E-manage harness

All butt connecters and wire splices removed and soldered and shrink tube'd

While the motor is out i degressed the engine bay.(a bottle of simple green and a brush does wonders!)

so why was he going to get rid of it? it looks like a great car

Big Ben · 08-08-2008, 03:20 PM

I dont know, it needed a lot of work as you can see. I think he just moved on to something else.

n1smojunkie · 08-08-2008, 03:22 PM

I need to keep an eye open for this, I've only ever seen one NX around here, it's black with yellow/off white stripes driven by an old lady.

Big Ben · 08-08-2008, 06:41 PM

There will be 2, Dj's white one and mine.
