It looks like a lot of fun.

 

Haters gonna hate, but I like it. It's damn impressive work - looks like a racer. Be proud!

 

I didn't like it when you began but now the finished product looks awsome!
When can you do mine?:-D

 

Thanks everyone for the kind words. This morning was pretty awesome, the biggest reason I did this to my car, to make others smile and start conversations. Well and I did this for myself too of course. But anyways I stopped at one of our million kwik star gas stations we have around here and 3 school buses pulled up, im guessing field trip. As soon as the 3 buses of kids got off they came over literally running to my car, lol. They got pics with it, sat inside, talked to me about what cars they like and a few of them said when im old enough for a car I want a Jaguar! Man that was pretty amazing. They were probably 12-13 years old, boys and girls both loved the car. A few even said it looked like minecraft, lol.

Anyways I thought I would share that as it made my day knowing I got some kids excited about it. My daughter got to ride in it yesterday for the first time since its been done and she loves it as well, except the release of air from the tank scares here every time I lower the car.

 

And that's why we do what we do...

 

How's it drive with the wider track and all that?

 

Drives amazing, I havent done a single alignment yet either and it drives straight and smooth, especially at high speeds. Im sure my tires will wear much sooner if I dont get my alignment done though.

I noticed taking corners and everything just seems much more solid and stable. Ill try sport mode later this week and see if I can even turn the car sideways for some drifting, im thinking I wont even be able to spin the tires.. lol

 

You need a 5.0 XKR - even with 305s on the rear, will spin wheels in pretty much any gear at any speed. But I suspect even an NA 4.2 might light up...

 

With a few tweaks and a shorter final drive ratio the n/a 4.2 has no issues lighting up 295s

 

The more I look at it I'm thinking maybe a set of integrated side exhaust would suit it and make the rear defuser as an areo design . Looks cool.

 

I don't think there's any feasible way to get it to the sides except maybe in front of the rear tires but even that would require some metal surgery.

I am surprised we haven't seen any video, hint, hint.

 

Exhaust out the side would be pretty cool but hard to pull off, not much room there.

Today will be my cars first Show and Shine and then tomorrow is the big 4th st cruise so both days will be a blast and Ill get lots of video and pictures. Just for fun a buddy of mine wants to drive my little Mercedes smart in the cruise so we decided to add some flare to it.. hahaha... here are some pics... and remember this is just for fun.. not going to keep it this way.. well except maybe the spoiler.. lol

 

Wow, imagine the picoNewtons of downforce that will generate!

 

LMAO! Might have made it just a bit bigger so it can't be missed but really cool!

 

 

Somewhere in this thread you mention the possibility of printing some dash vents after your project ends.

I have an old thread on the subject and will revive it. Was wondering if you could give it a read and give us feedback on viability?

 

Yes no problem. Ill read it today and let you know on my thoughts of 3d printing the dash vents.

 

Not really a Jag update but been spending time with the family lately going to a few car shows. Only entered in one of them and I won "Best late model"... was interesting.. lol

Also whipped up a video from this weekend.

Excellent, and the drone was the perfect ending! The videos need not stop there though.

 

Cool vid!!!
Car looks great rolling down the highway!!
