Tomas - Dax Tojeiro Cobra V12
Hello to everyone,
I created the profile here on behalf of my father, who doesn't speak English very well.
He would like to share his experience and look for advices with his Dax Tojeiro Cobra V12 car. As it is completely based on Jaguar XJS V12 engine and chassis, we believe this might be the appropriate place to do so.
The car looks like this:

My father bought it two years ago. The engine was not operational, now it has new Holley carbs and custom intakes.
Last year we drove it for a while. As probably everyone with a first-hand experience (with Jaguar V12) knows, it's a very raw and strong experience. The sound and the "feeling" of the engine is very "pure" and intense.
This year the engine is "on the bench" again and my father is currently looking for the best pistons for it. Does anyone here has experience with the Team CJ custom forged pistons?

Welcome to the forum Tomas,
Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums. I'll bet that Dax Tojeiro Cobra will leave an XJS a long way behind!
Follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xjs-x27-32/ to the XJS forum for help, advice and information from members with V12 engines. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.
Enjoy the forums.
