Next on the agenda...

1. Finish the exhaust with an x-pipe and remove the secondary mufflers...

2. Lower the car

3. new front bumper just like the bonspeed x-type

4. send my ecu to freaking britain to get it power programmed for 18 more horses...


So what are your suggestions?

 

That can be done??

 

I sent them an email and they said they were gonna get back to me soon...
paramount tuning or something...
they offer it and said theres shipping to the us..
hopefully they tell me its just a chip instead of having to send it to them.

 

keep us updated on that.... ok?

 

get a nice grill on the jag

 

Oh, and tint the windows.

 

The windows are tinted.
The back is limo.

I was thinking about the grill..
but I can do that at any time..
its only a couple hundred dollars..

stick to the list!!!
lol...
i think i might just lower it

 

and ok..
will keep you updated on that

 

Sounds like you should have bought a Honda instead of a Jag!

 

What doo you mean freakin Britain?
Over here Paramount do the ecureprogramming but to me its priced way to high for a measly 18 bhp.
If we had turbo cars a lot more power can be had but unfortunately we dont so to me the cost is just not worth it.
Youd probably get the same sort of power/weight ratio advantage by losing a few pounds andditchingyour spare wheelto get the same performance gains for afew $(dont forget to add some of that tyre seal to your other tyres incase of a blow out especially at the new higher speeds you will reach).
18bhp isnt going to give you a much of a noticeble difference.
Get your car lowered to lessen wind resistance and maybe make it look faster
Then finally you could put a coat of wax on to make glide through the air.

 

Your thoughts seem resonable my opion do anything but lambo doors lol

 

Yea... I think I might lower it this week..
Theres already wax on it..
I keep it waxed..

 

and lol..
my bad buck..
i mean lovely england..

haha

 

Of your listed, the exhaust would be my choice. I wouldn't lower it, nope, you'll lose the nice smooth ride the X provides...just not worth it in my opinion. The exhaust at least will give you a different sound to the car, and perhaps, gain a few ponies in the meantime. Never saw the bumper you speak of, but if its a bolt-on replacement, that could really give your ride a unique appearance. I do love the mesh grilles though..i know, not on your list. lol

Another option, you could also do those chrome trim pieces in the bumpers...again, not on your list, but something to consider if you like the chrome look.

We love spending other people's money.

 

Naa.. I dont really like the chrome stuff..
thats defeating the purpose of the sport package!

The chrome grill I'll do soon...

I did the exhaust already..
the exhaust stuff left to do would be an x-pipe..
heres the video of how it sounds now..

Sounds pretty good man, what did you go with?

 

The exhaust is a custom setup..

but anyways...
The lowering springs are on the way..

so is the mesh grill..

I cant wait =]

 

and yea..
paramount says I have to send them the ecu and they will ship it back reprogrammed. They take payments online or over the phone.

BUT.
i cant do it at the moment....
that crap is a lot of money.
lol
