Picked up another iX tonight! This one is a manual sedan.
The car is pretty dang solid mechanically. Just had a new trans put in, VC passed the jack test, all axles have newer boots, strut housings were recently replaced, newer starter, newer alternator, rear Bilsteins, some sweet little Borbets, and heated seats!

Only use the best

Started digging into the new iX tonight. Got the trans setup out, and did a better test on the VC, and it's very tight. I also confirmed that the differentials were 3.91s, which was very relieving. Going to order subframe bushings, trailing arm bushings, and a bushing for the rear diff to tighten up the rear of the car.
Got a bit of a game plan as well. Going to pull the parts car motor, and build a 2.8L using I pistons, e rods, and an m52 crank. Once that's finished, I will drop the motor in the same time as the manual swap. Coilovers and wheels should be on shortly.
I'm getting excited about getting going on this stuff. I foresee a s300sx in the future.
