Hi there, thought i would introduce myself. My name is Mike. Over this past weekend I flew out to Oklahoma City and bought a 2016 F-Type R. Italian Red, pretty well loaded including Ceramic Composite brakes.

It has a couple issues, worst is the PO installed some stupid short springs and the tires crash in to the wheel wells on any significant bump. I have KW H.A.S. springs on the way to fix that. The blindspot mirrors are not working right - the driver side works but something is wrong on the passenger side, so after 10 minutes they lock themselves out with an error message. The dealer has put a sticker on that side which I removed and I think that helped things, but it's not fully operational. Other issue is the navigation has me in the middle of the ocean off of Florida - I don't know what's up with that, but I have ordered a CarPlay upgrade anyway and used Waze on my phone now.

No other issues I am aware of right now (other than the disappointing Meridian sound system that "has no issue"), and I have a bumper to bumper warranty that should cover any issues for the next 6 years.

I plan to do the crank pulley upgrade and VAP tune, contemplating the VAP transmission tune. LED headlights are on order, and bought a net for the trunk.

 

Hello,
Congratulations on your new Jaguar!
I hope you get those springs sorted out soon.

Hi Mike, congratulations on the purchase of your new beast. I am also in Indianapolis and will keep an out for the new cat in town. There are monthly Cars N Coffee around town and also events out at Graham Rahal Performance in Brownsburg.

 

Are you going to either tomorrow? I am in Zionsville, actually, but Indy is far more recognizable!

Hey Mike ,sorry I missed your reply yesterday. I went to GRP in Brownsburg, hope to see you around sometime.

 

No problem. I ended up with a nail in my tire yesterday so my car is AWOL for a few days waiting for a new tire to come in. I decided not to go in the truck...
