Hello everyone. introducing myself and my XK8 - 3/6/2007 12:11:43 PM    Yurikaze   Posts: 51 Joined: 3/6/2007 Status: offline When I was born, my dad drove me home from the hospital in Watford, England in his 67 XKE FHC. 25 years later, I now have my own Jag. I traded in my Mitsubishi Evo last friday, so an Ice blue on biscuit XK8 coupe has joined my Supra and 240SX. It's taken a while to find a jaguar forum that uses a user friendly format, but this site appears to have it. I'm a wheel designer at MHT luxury alloys, so hopefully I can put some wheels and suspension on my car soon, followed by some Arden bits.

My 240 is  an 89 two-tone coupe, with some work done to it: http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b321/Yurikaze/104_0357.jpg My Supra is a 91, blue on blue leather. I prefer these to the MKIV. It'll be getting a 1JZ 5-speed swap soon. http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b321/Yurikaze/104_0138.jpg (in reply to bigdreams05) Post #: 3

The engine is a swap, but I really don't want to say much more. Only 3 days of ownership on the Jag, and already it needs it's power steering pump replaced. (in reply to bigdreams05) Post #: 5
