I have to say I didn't jack the car up, drop the engine down or remove any wheels to do the job, the job was done on the floor of the single garage I park it in! It can be done with some will power, i'm confident I paid for more attention to detail than anyone else would in a dealership, very satisfying . thanks again guys . Rock , I owe you a drink!

That is awesome! I am glad it helped! Amazing that you did it the way you did...I am impressed. Congrats...

Thanks!

Here is an updated link to my file. Also, since I got my Jaguar F-Type R, been spending time on different forums "playing" with that car now, so not on here much anymore in case you are messaging me...

I think the rear end looks as good as my 997 TT....Can't say that about many cars!

You are welcome, and thanks! I am really enjoying the F-Type R. Of course I have already started with updates

Due to warranty, only so much I am doing....Did an ECU Piggy Back tune so I can reverse if needed, a new intake system,
and bunch of other stuff....Love the sound of the exhaust and the Supercharger whine. Love the 997 TT as well....very different cars. In this car they did not add fake rear seats...they just put two in there

You can hear the exhausts on one

...Pretty cool (IMO). Have to skip past the first ~ 30 seconds of the dude flapping. Hated the rear deployable wing (997 Turbo much better), so put the OEM fixed wing...much better. Also AWD like 997 TT, and I have about
614 BHP & 563 Lb./Ft Tq. with upgrades currently, so runs really well. Would like it to be lighter...but oh well. Needed spacers and lowering springs also, and looks much better.

Take care!
