Kevin and I were busy bees this weekend and my car is officially in Stage NA mode. We decided that forced induction wasn't needed and for the shootout we're going "all motor" Anyways, I had a fun weekend wrenching and of course when you have people that know what goes where and what comes off and how it all looks easy... Either way I learned a lot

PS Cheers for those rears CJV!

 

Are we talking about Kevin from the turbo place?? What is he up to these days?? do you have his new contact info?? I need to sup up my K24s and get some header work...

 

NA...you gotta be kiddin!!! And what's up with the Jaguar frame??? I know you have an XJR...but a jag licence frame???

BTW, what kind of tires you got on...??? Interesting tread pattern

 

Yeppers. I'll PM you.. also you tried to PM me and my box was full. Oops can you resend?

 

Yeah I was just messin' It'll be forced induction again real soon.. Too bad the track was closed 'cos some nonce hit a powerline and the track had to close before I got any runs in.

The Jag frame... well it's the only piece I have left off of my old car and it's a reminded where I came from. Even though I drive a German car, I can at least have a British license frame...

Those tires are BFG Drag Radials. 315/30s at the rear and 245/40s up front. But dammit I gotta get a new front right because these tires are so mushy/sticky that on the way to the track a rock got stuck between the sidewall and the shock hat and carved out an extra groove the entire circumfrence of the tire.

 

Yea whats up with that??

The least you could do is put something like "Don't laugh by other car is a Jaguar."

MWEELS

 

LOL give it time and I will

 

What's funny about my wife's car having 390 foot pounds of torque and 380hp?

 

what kind of tires are on the car?

 

BFGs...

 

How do the drag radials work in corners?

 

Cool and really sweet plate SHARKY.

 

Thanks man My wife made me do it!

 

It's like trying to ice skate up a hill... Taking a turn at around 25mph became a lot less comfortable that's for sure. Not recommended for any kind of use other than the intended purpose I'm afraid...
