Default Possibly found an S-TYPE R WOOHOOO

Here are a couple of pics from an STR I found in florida.

I has an aftermarket exhaust. everything else is stock. Its rocking 95K miles with a 4 year bumper to bumper warranty.

I made a deal and put a deposit on the car. they wanted 11K and they seriously want my Silver one.

So Im paying the difference of $980+ttl

Awesome, she still looks nice even with 95k on the clock. Now it's time to drop in a K&N airfilter, send the supercharger to EuroToys for a port and polish, 2.5 pulley, and low temperature thermostat=50+ hp & 70+ lbs. trq. for $850. Then take her to a dyno-tune shop for an ECU tune= another 25+ hp & trq. for $1200. Congratulations!

Mark my words...your STR's looks and performance will keep the 'She's so sexy and "I got power" smiles on your face every time you get in and you'll be a little bummed when it's time to put her to sleep at night. Enjoy her mafioso.

And to quote another posting, you can show BMW drivers your Jaguar's cute backside.

^^ --- we need to do lunch or dinner sometime.

I already have a powdercoater lined up to do the wheels black then 10% tint all around and 90% on the windshield.

It already has the Mina gallery exhaust and pulley so meth injection is on the list.

I may have a tuner that's willing to give it a shot on the dyno

wow, thats some 'to do' list.

I always wanted to do a meetup in the DFW area, but being the perfectionist in me, I want to come up with a good 45-min -> 1-hr drive outside of the city on some nice, curvy (and smooth) roads with some scenery. Throw in a stop at our Ft Worth Autobahn Jag dealer for a personal tour of the new XJ, lunch/dinner, a possible semi-pro photoshoot setup so everyone can get a pic of their car in some really cool setting. I'd also like to pick a day when we may be able to lure Brutal up from Houston, get Motorcarman from Decatur to come down...talk technical if a topic comes up. I think it would be fun.

If you're up for such a plan, I could use a co-organizer to help.

Most. deff I think maybe a park and Grille would be a good idea, then maybe some sort or a cruise would be a good idea too.

Also possibly added to the list is a Zaino date with tri-zac since its black pics cannot show swirl marks too well.

Please let me know how the tuner goes, and your meth install!
