Hey everyone, so I've been bulding up my NX and am almost done. Here are some pics










Currently I have:
Tein Coilovers with their EDFC Active Pro Controller
Megan Front and Rear sway bars
HPS Charge Pipe
AEM Intake
TTi Stage 1 Engine and TCU Tune
BBK front with upgraded rear rotor and pads
Matt Anthracite Wrap
Full AudioFrog GB Series Components with passive crossovers front and rear
10 Inch GB AudioFrog sub in place of spare(can't use spare anyway with BBK)
Powered by JL 900HD amp with a JL sound processor
20 Vossen HF-4T Hybrid forged Wheels in Satin Bronze
All doors have sound deadening to accommodate the new speakers

Love the look! Any pics of the sway bars? Been considering that myself.

I think I reached out to you about the BBK kit, how are you liking it?

I don't have any pics of sway bars, but I mean its Blue..lol. Car is def better in the leaning department. As far as the BBK...it is awesome. One thing I would change next time is the J-hooks...they are so loud when coming to a stop. This apparently is normal as I was searching the web and everyone that has that rotor design states the same thing. Stopping power now is insane.

Easily the best looking one I've ever seen!
Really well done.

For some reason I mistook the sway bar as a strut bar which I want to add to my car. Stupid AEM CAI is in the way, if you had the strut bar I wanted to know how you did it lol. But sway bars make more sense since you were deep into the wheel wells with new parts.

I'm still looking for a cheap BBK, I keep drooling over your setup.......

I don't like the AEM CAI at all. It sounds awful. Under hard acceleration it's fine. But under light load, 98 percent of driving, it sounds as if someone left a window open just a tad and the air is just leaking in at highway speed. I will be removing it shortly.

Thanks for saving me the money. Your BBK looks awesome! How do you like the TTi tune? I have been waiting for a used JB4 to pop up. I am running JB4 on my VW GTI.

Hmmm, I also have the HPS charge pipe and a custom turbo muffler delete. I think it sounds on par for a CAI for a small turbo. It ain't 86mm 2JZ sounds but it doesn't sound like a boost leak. Wish I knew you before I would have loved to buy it off you lol sell me the BBK if you get a new car!

I'd skip the JB4, had one on an old 3 series BMW, the power gains are minimal for the price. Only good thing was it's easily reversible without needing a laptop. OVTune is on my list when funds allow.
