Hey all,
My good friends at Fine Line Imports in Northern California had some rather good news for me today. Being that I was a HUGE Subaru enthusiast before I bought my XJR, this shop had always done the ECU tuning on my Subarus. Anyway, they are specifically known for building some of the best STI's and WRX's in the country as well as Nissan's and Mitsu's. To make a long story short, they will now be specializing in the performance and tuning of most European models and makes, including Jaguar! They have a state of the art tuning/dyno facility and are really great guys. Check out their website and see what they are all about. They should have the tuning software in the next month or so that is Jaguar compatible. Looks like I won't have to be sending my ECU out for tuning for a crappy base map that costs $1500. You can now get a custom tune on the spot!

Hey STI....might be worth mentioning in the regional section for the guys in that area as the guys that frequent that section will also be aware.....

Sounds good

I doubt it. They really pride themselves on doing the utmost quality of work. It's not their nature to produce a bunch of generic base maps and sell them online. Take a drive out here to SF for a nice summer vacation and get your XJR tuned!

That would be quite awesome. If I can generate enough interest here and show proof people are motivated, they might just do it!!!

There is a shop in Plainfield that will dyno tune the jag's
I'm going there in the spring, we should both go.

I have the tuners email, I'll shoot an email to him to see about a group discount if we can get a bunch of jags together for a dyno/tune day
