Conversion finished... Rusty now runs on 115 ron (EU ron!) LPG

 

Awesome

 

Seems to be a very neat install. Hardly anything visible.

 

Very tidily done. I have seen a lot worse than this

It was well worth the €3400! I could have gotten a cheaper system for about 3000 but that would have been with a cruddy installation...

 

Picked this up after a morning visit with Jennifer which was a great visit. Still driving home atm. 3700 miles on this road trip, 250 to go.

 

Now that looks like quite some shallow draft, fast planing beast ...

 

This weekend I replaced my failed Donnelly rear view mirror with a Gentex one from an '04

Hi

Today I changed the oil in the supercharger, it was black . Tomorrow I will change the oil in the final drive and i will fix the rear suspension subframe.

 

I drove it and tanked some more gas... Fun thing to do as most gas pumps (LPG) aren't under the forecourt roofs...

 

Jag is back at the mechanics; the new T-stat housing leaked. Hope to get the Jag back soon.

 

Cleaned up the Jag after a visit to the mechanic. Water pump replaced. So now every common problem related to the engine is now fixed! Expensive... very expensive; but fixed.

 

Received and installed the Glanz body kit.
Stunning result, pictures to follow after the weather clears.

 

Going on a few weeks since I did the S/C belt and idler pulley bearing; I've done nothing. It's nice.

 

Starter finally gave up on the 98. Changed it out last night.

 

New Glanz body kit.
Did a quick ride out, but the rain intervened.
Lousy phone pic, does not really show the kit, but it gives an idea.
Saturday should be sunny for some better shoots.

 

I have changed the rear subframe and the final drive oil, i used 75w140 Castrol Syntrax Limited Slip.

 

Looking really good, nice and subtle.


The under bumper front air dam would last about halfway around the block, where I live.


Croydon Council would rather spend money on speed humps and widening the pavements than fixing the potholes!

 

Looks great, and once again can't decide if I like those wheels better than Asteroids or not, but definitely a toss up on the best looking Jag OEM wheels.

Well, we don't have too many speed bumps, but mountain roads and parking garages are as bad sometimes.
Hard to see, but the lowest part on the front is a piece of universal spoiler lip I still had laying around.
I still consider to lower the car a bit, and just want to see if it is workable.
I got 8 cm (~3") clearance right now, we will see how long it lasts ....

I think they are both great designs which fit the original x308 design very well (very important for me).
I like the staggered configuration of the Double-Fives though, allowing me to run the 275's in the rear, which looks stunning without being an overkill.
The slightly higher side walls (than the 255/40 normally on Astroids) are an other visual advantage, IMO this car design needs sidewalls.

 

Eric sir you are an inspiration, just today I was out on my hands & knees detailing the inside of my X308 & my associate said "How come you don't wash the others yourself, only this one ?" My answer "She's different" lol. So glad there's others that "get it".
