Default My daily is complete!!!

View this post on Instagram

Been a long time CL member coming from the first 3g IS350 Fsport then to and RCF. While I love my RCF, I accidentally turned it into a track car ( thanks RR-Racing! ) So, the daily driving aspects needed to be handled by a bit something practical. In comes the NX

2019 Nx300 Fsport
mods - JB4 tune, HP charge pipe, Aem intake, TTi turbo muffler delete, TTi diverter spacer
Suspension - D2 36 way adjustable air struts / AccuAir 3p management
Wheels - 22” Ag f241 brushed / chrome finish
sound - 2x10” JL tw3 dvc subs with audiocontrol 800.1 amp

everything in the car is hidden. The subs were xustom
made in shallow boxes UNDER the rear seats. The air was done in the spare tire well and everything was tucked and hidden to make the car an actual usable suv.

To date I am not sure if any NX new or old has been on air and 22s. Enjoy!


Aired out

“Hidden install “ 2xpumps / tank /3p

Thanks. I’m very picky about that. When someone says “ does it come like that “ .......I believe that’s the best complement. Again, can’t go wrong with clean and simple. The RCF is the same way

Thanks again

Can you share where you got the body kit? (front lip, side skirt, and rear canard/spats)?

No body kit - as it’s just a factory NX Fsport

the ride - it’s not that bad. The d2 struts are 36 way adjustable. Air helps a lot! It’s not harsh, yet more of a “planted” sports like feels. Bumps aren’t too bad. Trust me, in the rcf I have a very aggressive track setup on Penske coils with stiffened valves and rcomps. This is merely a step up from sports plus with more road feel.

Ive been working in the background with a company that’s nameless at the moment to build a downpioe for the platform. The JB4 is great. They are a hell of a company if you use them and highly responsive. I’ve done a massive amount of logs and they give feedback on each one. Great people. Just a bit pricey when all in. But I’d say it’s worth it.

Mod in Japan and Lou get many thank you’s for the parts. Elite Importz and Chris in Laurel, MD did the install and it took a little over a week. The wheels took almost 3 months......that wait sucked! But the quality of AG is well worth the wait. The wheels are square but the setup had a 4” lip in the rear and 3” lip in the front to give it some “pop”.

Again, extremely happy with this setup. Came out well beyond my expectations.

Thank you for the compliments. Crazy that I used an internet pic as a muse and built the car off that.

I’ll do what can to aid the platforms growth.
More to come!

Pretty nice though I'd probably raised it up a bit (unless that photo is just for parking) and remove the "Elite" sticker. Sideways sticker on front usually associated with young guys etc. But other than that nice job.

Are those tires uncomfortable for a daily driver? they seem like they'd be

This pic is the car air’d out. The ride height is about 2 finger width. Yet, with air, the suspension adjusted to anything you want ( height wise ). The toyo proxy 4 is a great tire. I’ve run them on a few cars, amazing performance for an all season. As for side-wall, it’s more than enough tire to take bumps.

My my downpipe has arrived and will be installed on Thursday. As well, I have 4 under braces that come in prior to the install and will be put on when the car goes to the shop. Likewise, due to the tune, I’ll be running one step colder spark plugs to aid the performance mods.

Ig: eliteimportz - ( as mentioned on the post ). I’m sure you can comment on those cars to. But I’m more than happy to support my local shop and good friend. To each their own.


The “ dark “ downpipe is for sale. Slightly used catless, as it was used as a moch up for the new part. Nothing is wrong with it. 250 plus shipping takes it home.

Man, I thought mine being lowered with wheels on it made it look nice. I so wish I could have found someone close to me to put it on air...nice job!
