Hi,
I am an owner of a 2007 jaguar xj8. The car has 14,000 miles(practically a brand new engine) on it and i am just wondering if there are any thing that i could do to improve performance. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

 

anything?

 

Well since you have an XJ8 without a supercharger, there isn't too much out there. You could go for an exhaust & new catalysts. Maybe an air filter. Not much more available for the naturally aspirated engines.

Other mods could be to lower your suspension, maybe go for an LSD.

Apart from that it's just aesthetic stuff to do...

 

Thanks. Do you think i could fit XJR wheels on my XJ8?

 

Yes any wheel from an X350 will fit.

 

Thanks a lot! Time to do some ebay searching...

 

Hi there, we have same taste in cars, I have a 67 Daimler v8 r.hand drive and a super v8 from 05.

 

WOW! My car is right hand drive as well, all original with only 90,000 miles on it. What a beautiful car, do you have any pictures?

 

Also, you can fit the 8.5 inch wide wheels from the 2007up xk/xkrs (those are the fronts; rears are too wide)

 

Nice detail job there H2Oboy, I like what you did with the front grille. Looking mighty pretty.

 

Thanks Barry!

 

Oh, yes i do have pics, I will try to post a couple.

 

I hope the Daimler pics are now uploaded. Enjoy.

 

Anders, very nice, thanks for the pics

 

Hi Growling,

Nice car, and you can pretty it up..... but

If you want real performance you need to start with an XJR.
You would be amazed at the difference.

Unfortunately, there are many differences, and you can't just add a supercharger as the compressions ratios are very different.

Enjoy the comfort, luxury, and smiles per mile of the car you have.
If it is your first Jaguar you will most likely love it.

If it's not quick enough, you may need to trade to a XJR.
If you do trade, the goodies list is extensive; all the way up to 600 horses and almost as much torque.
