Nope, it doesnt want to let me post a pic? Anyway, while I was in London getting ripped off severly for everything. I took a ride to Slough to meet up with Paul Busby again at Paramount Performance. A really first class operation. Wonderful premises with workshop and rolling road etc. Upstairs was a kind of car lovers private club. Plasma TV's, WIFI, drinks, whatever you needed. After Paul and I went to lunch, one of the technichions there took me on a test drive on a 07 XJR coupe that had just had the Racing cats, SC pulley and remap of the ECU. It was running 506 BHP on the Dyno and it certainly showed on the streets. This thing went like a Banshee.

I had always wondered why even after turning off the traction control, my car would always still go in to second gear without me using the paddles if I was giving it a little bit of stick, it seems that you have to actually hold down the off button for the Traction control for a few seconds to turn it right off. After thgis was done on the test car, the thing screamed away from the lights like no Jaguar I have ever been in.  I know now where my ECU is and how to remove it and it is being Fedexed to them early next week. How anyone lives in England these days is beyond me.

Sweet.....thanks for the update. Remember holding down the traction control on the C5 to turn off the active handling...lol.  I'll have to try that in the Jag.  I wonder if they did anything to that SL55 in the video....it's showing 486.3 HP when stock should be 493HP. That must be RWHP dyno numbers. BTW....did they say anything about their air induction kit that they were testing a few months ago? Just curious how that was coming along.
 
Looks like don't bold the [img].  Here's what your pic looks......car looks great! Nice house too.  I'll email you the exact photo link.

The Air Induction system is a few weeks away apparantly. Just ironing out some kinks in the actual tubing for better airflow. Paul is going to send me one as soon as they are done to test it. Im hoping they will be coming over for the Winter Park Concouse De Elegance show in October to exhibit their products. Remapping in the UK is huge now as the price of gas is so high. My brother is taking his Diesel Range Rover in to be tuned. They say they can get another 50bhp and 4 miles a gallon out of it. Everyone is driving Diesles in the UK now.
