Special thanks to Mike at Eurotoys who installed their upper and lower supercharger pulley and also Paramount Lowering Springs on my XKR. Car pulls harder now! I can tell with my SOTP dyno. The lower stance looks great......now just waiting for my aftermarket wheels to be done refnishing from the wheel manufacturer(5 months and counting ). Thanks again to Eurotoys for the pulleys and the work done.

 

This is the truth that so many people refuse to acknowledge - numbers don't really matter - this is the only dyno that really matters when you do a mod.

Man, I would love to lower, but the car is already so low that I have to be really careful not to scrape coming out of driveways already.

 

And you sotp dyno becomes alot more accute when it becomes thinner after the mods are performed

 

Here's a quick pic of it lowered with my crappy iPhone. Lowered is 1 inch. It's now about the same height as my stock SL65. By all means it's not slammed (actually 1/2 more inch lowered might be even better). Still not as fast as the SL65 but it's quicker.

 

Ghostriderxkr08 - you lucky SOB....What a great lookin collection you have there, and all detailed to within an inch of their lives to by the looks of it

 

Thanks Jim.

Cheers!

 

Forgot to mention Eurotoys also pickup/drop off your car for a minimal fee. They also have a loaner car available. Great service.

Here they are dropping off my XKR (sorry for the crappy iphone quality):

 

I'm loving the pics GHOSTRIDERXKR08, iPhone or otherwise. I've decided that a 2007+ XKR will be the next Jag I own. I absolutely love the styling. Just have to figure out how to tell my wife.

Don't be shy with the photos

Cheers!

 

You have a better rear view I think that contributes to Paramount Springs . As for the pic quality , I highly recommend Sony Ericsson Satio 12.1 MP , no better pic quality you can find but I would not say same for reliability

 

spitfire: You should be able to pick up an used one for a very good price. Just tell your wife the car is for her but you'll just drive it most of the time.

cadillac: thanks for the camera recommendation. I do have a digital camera....it was just the only thing I had before they took the car off the trailer was my iphone camera so had to use it.

 

Wow! Absolutely stunning.

 

Absolutely beautiful! Where did you get the leaper on the back?

 

I took it off after installing the new spoiler but I bought it at the dealer parts dept. Comes with double sided tape.

 

Hi Ghostriderxkr08!

Thanks for your feedback! I have a Jaguar XKR and i'm from Switzerland. I have questions about this preparation.. This is possible spoke with you by E-mail? Thank you very much!

Not to mention my issues with euro toys and mike providing incorrect lower land rover pulley for a jaguar that pushed seal into chain and resulted in all the valves bent on a bank. Said should have noticed they sent wrong part(they looked the same till i measured them and then compared to a lr @work) if you think a experianced jaguar tech missed that you can bet a indie shop or diy owner would definitly miss it.
This is why any OEM manufacturer will cover any damaged by a part they supplied incorrectly. Make your mistake my mistake and lost money. thats good customer service. Just a friendly warning

WTF...that sucks. I hope they made things right... Thanks for the warning.

 

nope they are only sending correct pulley on their dime. I am replaced all the valves, gaskets, and machine work costs and a ton of work on my dime. DOUBLE check your parts. I know EURO TOYS doesnt double check what they send out or stand behind their kits

 

If that's their idea of customer service, I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole. that totally sucks. Hye Brutal, spread the word around. That will ultimately cost them a lot more than doing the right thing in the first place. Eurotoys...I'll remember this one.

 

I always tell my clients that they don't REALLY know what kind of vendors they have until they have an opportunity to react to a mistake. It's OK to make mistakes. It is NOT okay to neglect taking responsibility and being accountable for them. Mistakes always cut into profit and typically create negative equity in a transaction. However, knowing that a vendor stands by their offerings creates a reputation for much more long term revenue.

Eurotoys really screwed the pooch on this opportunity. Did they sell you a min a piece or another brand?

 

I've had a lot of work done by Mike and after 4-5 years I've had no problems. He's also done some minor work on my Rover and SL65 amg and always been happy with the work.
