petercscherer Posted September 15, 2023 Report Share Posted September 15, 2023 Hey y'all, figured I'd chronicle this little build here. Just purchased this 2009 Nissan Cube from a good friend here in Lubbock, TX and it's been very well taken care of. A factory 6 speed Manual and equipped with the Ginormous Package with the Aero kit and custom interior lighting. Other than a DC Sports Exhaust and Takeda Intake, it's pretty stock. My plans include lowering with some Eibach springs, and go back to stock diameter exhaust since I'm pretty sure this thing actually lost power with that 2.25" piping. Otherwise, just going to be a fun JDM style daily driver to augment my 2016 GTI. ~Peter 1 Quote Link to comment
petercscherer Posted September 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2023 Some more pics, only 71k miles, and I'm the 3rd Owner. Always well maintained and these things can easily last for 200k. 1 Quote Link to comment
petercscherer Posted September 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2023 Installed the Tanabe Strut brace as well as new Struts and the Eibach Sportline Drop Springs. Also an ATI Upper Grill and new replacement headlights. 1 Quote Link to comment
petercscherer Posted September 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2023 So here's where it sits with the lowered suspension. Ride is definitely a lowered car quality, but not bottoming out or uncomfortable. Next is some interior upgrades and probably tackling the exhaust. ~Peter 1 Quote Link to comment

Lockleaf Posted September 27, 2023 Report Share Posted September 27, 2023 Nice. I had forgotten these goofy things existed. I was looking at buying an xB recently, but these would fill the same niche... 1 Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted September 28, 2023 Report Share Posted September 28, 2023 I got my wife the same rig. They are great cars. I want lower hers but she doesn't pay attention enough to have a low car 🙂. Look forward to the build! 1 Quote Link to comment
petercscherer Posted September 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2023 (edited) Oh I definitely see a 1st Gen xB in the future as well. Definitely love the practicality and personality they have. Definitely would love to airbag it, but that seems excessive considering I don't do shows or anything like that. I will say the lowering springs have a pretty satisfactory ride, definitely need to avoid potholes, but the OEM seats are overly supportive to make up the difference.

petercscherer Posted January 30 Author Report Share Posted January 30 Figured I'd update this. I've put on over 2k miles on it in the last few months, really a fun car! I've been dreaming of Underglow since I was a kidding watching Fast and Furious, so I figured this was the ultimate vehicle to do so on. Really accents the factory underdash LEDs quite well! Swapped out the exhaust for the J2/DNA Catback off eBay since the DC Sports system was just too loud and droning, even after adding a heimholtz resonator. Quote Link to comment
petercscherer Posted January 30 Author Report Share Posted January 30 Oh, and Painted the Mirrors Ruby Red Metallic for that extra race-y Nismo look. lol 😆I love having a inexpensive car to goof off with. Quote Link to comment
