Default New member from all the way Down Under

Hi everyone, quick intro here!

I have just organised the finance for my 2011 white XFR and was meant to pick it up tomorrow, but a miscommunication occurred and it is actually next week!

To other Aussies out there, I'm from Newcastle originally, technically based in Sydney, sometimes in Nowra and currently in Port Macquarie!

I bought the car as my other car is a constant project, a BMW 335i convertible with way too many mods to list.

I will be doing the usual stuff to the jag that seems common: tune, pulley, exhaust and TCU flash but will look into this a bit more. Also H&R springs and possibly new shoes!

Oh and also paint the bits to make it a Black Pack and also paint the roof gloss black for a subtle sportier look!

Welcome to the forum crowdedthehouse,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

I can see you've already found your way to the X250 forum so there's no need for a link to it from me.


Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You can also visit the Australia - New South Wales/ACT Region forum by following this link Australia - New South Wales / ACT - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Welcome!

Whereabouts in Sydney are you? I'm The Hills. I'll send you my contact details if you want to get that stuff done on your XFR, I might be able to help out with some of it at least...

Cheers!

Thanks mate, that would be awesome! The tune and TCU should be easy enough. Fitting the exhaust might not be a DIY job unless you have a hoist at home lol. Not sure on this platform.

The only performance thing I wouldn't mind help is with a TCP intake and then the pulley. If I purchase the pulley remover tool to avoid cutting the stock one, is putting the new one easy to do?

I'd love for you to show me around the car and tips and tricks for stuff if you have time one day and I'll shout lunch and beets. I don't know when I'm in Sydney next though!
