How's it going everyone ! I recently bough my first 2003 jaguar xk8 that is racing green in color and has 19 inch alloys on it. Some of the issues I had with the car when I first bought it was a head gasket leak, small coolant hose leak, small oil cooler leak, and within the first week of owning it I got rear ended by some lady not paying attention to whats in front of her at a red light but no damage was done it just buffed right out and I placed the muffler back on the hanger . Her car shot right under which was a surprise cause I think the car is quite low, All of the small problems has been solved and I recently had an issue with cylinder 3 causing a misfire but got that solved out with new coil packs!The car is great I love it !!!! My dad owns a 87 buick Grand National with 800hp so I think it'd make for an interesting race even though I know I don't run 8's on the quarter ... I also paid a local exhaust shop to straight pipe the exhaust by taking out the x pipe resonator and the 2 over axel resonators . I kept everything else including the cat and mufflers stock. The sound is amazing !!!!! there is no drone what so ever when on the highway or in the cabin period. But when you're behind the green beauty and I get on it the sound is ! Ill post a video soon!
