Pics from track event last week
 
Sorry about some of the exterior shots, my g/f isn't very good with her camera and it's not a great camera to start with.

Nice!!!

I read most of your post but noticed you were having brake issues. Have you upgraded at least your lines to SS? You mentioned you wanted to do something 4 piston possibly- why not start with SS lines, and slotted/vented rotors? That + your T1Rs and decent pads should make a pretty huge difference.

If you're at all serious about taking the X to the track on a regular basis I would HIGHLY recommend the KW coilovers. Night/day.

I'm not sure whether to do ss brake lines yet because I may be going completely custom with the brake calipers. I'm looking at the S40 T5 AWD, S60R, STR and Porsche 993 calipers and rotors. If I buy SS lines now I might be throwing my money away.
However, if I don't have new calipers on by August I'll definitely do the lines. Who sells them?
I'm waiting on the suspension because I might not be tracking this car, I want a five speed. My gf is looking at getting rid of her Saab for a truck. If that happens I might just sell this one and get a five speed instead of buying a second Jag (that would be sweet, though).
Minimum in August I'm hoping for (that's when my next track event is) is SS brake lines, vented rear rotors and the swaybars. THEN we'll see how she does. ;)

They're only cool if they make the car faster. ;)
