F-Type Ironing Board Upgrade 150 HP
You know, that's an excellent point. When I was looking at getting my F Type I too was most definitely struggling to choose between my V8S and the multiple Miatas and S2Ks I could have got for the same money. Great insight on the aftermarket parts too. This car would be perfect if only there was more cheap low quality garbage that I could bolt on to ruin the looks and hamper the performance. You might want to pop a call into Jaguar. They've totally missed the boat here as you say, and I'm sure they'll be grateful to you for opening their eyes to what must be an absolutely huge untapped market for folks who just don't feel a 100K car is complete without a spoiler the size of an ironing board duct-taped to the trunk.
I got a 150HP boost with this ironing board upgrade! What do you think about it?
When it rains, I can wash my shirts and iron them at the same time!

My complaint about the new Jaguar F type is its so dam beautiful. Makes it tough not to run out an buy one!
Congrats to those who have this stunning new sports car!
Wow!
Can't wait to see the new coupe in full display at the new York autoshow.
I saw a black F type coupe the other day in northern NJ on the road..
Its a real tough decision...coupe or convertible...
550 hp in the supercharged v8 coupe with the glass roof is singing the song!

Timex makes watches that look just like a Rolex too, but doesn't make it a Rolex.
You must really have a death wish for Jaguar.
Ian is the best thing that happened to that brand. 47% of XF buyers are within the ages of 31-45. The car broke them out of the "old gentlemen's car" mold. And, the demographics of the new XJ is in a lower age group than those of a Porsche Panamera.

Callum is the biggest individual driver behind the brand's revival. He has managed to balance a design strategy that broadens the brand's appeal, moves Jaguar towards the correct modular/platform design it requires to stay solvent in today's industry, and continues to garner design awards from both industry and consumer reviews.
He's admittedly had to play it a little safe given the fragility of Jaguar' financials during the turnaround, but now that the company is one of the most profitable in the industry, I think we may see more design risk taking at the high end even as they push down market with less distinctive designs at the lower end.

Remove panel on the left to show main battery
then remove the piece that you see the tire repair kit in
bot will slide right out with no clips etc
you well then see the smaller battery in the bottom middle of the space
remove the ground from the smaller battery (the one i am pointing to)
once removed be sure to tape it off so it doesnt connect with anything metal.
put all your pieces back in and youre done.
Youll notice when you start the car the yellow light on the Eco button will be illuminated as usual, however once you put your seatbelt on and start driving the light will go out and stay out. no light will be on the dash and even when you press the eco button it will not activate.

I'll give this little trick a try.
