I have been lurking in the shadows and using this forum for research for quite some time and figured it is time I introduce myself. Firstly the reason for me being here is my car, a 2010 Jaguar XFR in salsa red! Shes a beauty to me and has been in the process of undergoing some major visual and performance changes for quite some time. Performance is in my blood and although maybe not the BEST platform for it, definitely sure does have class while pumping the adrenaline through the veins! Currently the car has very minor modifications done to it, but many more parts are either on the way or waiting to be installed. I must say first and foremost I am NOT afraid to break things, and am willing to pay the price for the things that do.

Performance list installed:
Upper super charger pulley 62mm
Colder spark plugs
Air box modifications
Larger intercooler pump
Eurocharged Tune

Performance waiting to arrive/install:
Ardent exhaust headers (catless)
Ardent exhaust rear muffler section
Methanol injection kit

Performance upcoming:
Lower supercharger crank pulley
Complete suspension bushing upgrade
Custom tune for headers, methanol injection, and lower crank pulley

Visual modifications:
Full window tint
New custom forged wheels (waiting to arrive)
-20x9 front with 275/40/20
-20x11 rear with 305/35/20
Paint just freshened up and fixed imperfections
Chrome delete coming soon (Wrapped in gloss black)
Drop kit coming soon with -10mm or -20mm

I have big plans for the car, and lots of aspirations for it and it sounds ambitious.... well because it is. I am getting out of another vehicle that was yes, much faster, but did not give me the feeling this car does when I am behind the wheel. It is fantastic to drive and am in love!

Now a little about me is I am from Houston Texas, and have been turning wrenches since I can remember. Professionally have been doing it for 15 years and have many more to come. It's my love and passion and know quite a bit. Always willing to help and give advice, but also know when its time to listen and learn! I have several cars and if I can get to my phone sometime will upload them here, but until then here is a list.

Current cars:
2010 Salsa Red XFR - 5.0 S/C - hasn't been on dyno
2005 Dodge (neon) SRT-4 - 2.4L turbo - 700+whp depending on boost level
2004 Dodge (neon) SRT-4 - 2.4L turbo 347whp
1973 Plymouth Duster - 318"(5.2L) N/A 532whp
1972 Dodge Charger - 383" - hasn't been on dyno (roughly 400-450 HP)
2010 Dodge Ram 1500 4X4 - 5.7L 403whp


Will be posting pictures of them all when I have the chance!

Welcome to the forums.

 

I don't think I will find it that hard to enjoy them, thank you very much!

Thank you, exciting to finally be able to be apart of the community and discussions!

I never thought I would get a red car, never thought it was for me. However after getting this one, it grows more and more on me every day! No metallic, no pearl, just a solid salsa red and it is stunning!

Thank you so much!

Welcome. I sometimes wish I could be more like that, but I am my father's son. I AM afraid to break things and even more painful than a broken leg is opening my wallet.
