Well the tuner is no secret I spoke with Kenny Tran from Jo-tech racing they mainly focus on oddball projects like sub 9 sec hondas 600whp daily driven scion TC's. Then I've also spoken with endyme and I've seem to peaked thier curiousity although thier specialty is eaton porting on a smaller scale ie hondas. (it's all the same these are just bigger hahaha)

So Im paying the difference of $980+ttl
Very nice, they look great in black when clean, nice wet look, but become a 2nd time job with NO PAY.

Am I missing something or is there no leaper? Is that some kind of a badge?

So I finally got the Jaguar inspection report and some possible bad news that I may not be able to live with.

Car has had Cats removed and straight pipes welded in, has extensive emissions tampering. (trying to get more details)

Pending recalls:
Incorrect gear selection R513
unattended wheel brakes R167 (getting more details)

My biggest issue so far and worrysome is Code U2200-Invalid data for rolling odometer count showed on scan test

They are also replacing the TC under warranty and rebuilding the tranny:
Transmission not shifting properly. Scan test shows multiple codes but no CEL has internal transmission problems

Doesn't look black, unless she's dusty. If not, appears to be the dark grey, quartz I think.

When I made my first post in this thread I had some concerns...I hope the 2nd car gives you better luck. I live in Florida, and have clients who get screwed by used car places all the time. Glad you got an inspection done. I've never done it before, but I think I will from now on.

One of my patients loved my silver STR at first sight, he picked up an anthrocite STR w/55k for 15,500k. What a beautiful color. I actually felt jealous.

Ok so an update.

The previous 2 didnt work out, I posted the issuses with the first one.

the second one had some rips in the driver seat that I decided I could not deal with for the price.

So I guess it was fate.

03 STR with 41K miles for 13K is on the table. I hope to pick this one up in the next week or so.

Yes I know about the missing shift knob one was ordered from the Jag house and will be replaced when I get it.

What color is this?
