    A shitty interface that apparently new users endure.

    I am out of high test beverages.

    Also the CAPTCHA interface here is shit.

    The previous XJ6 era & XJS are responsible for the brand's undeserved bad rep. Faulty wring & electrical gremlins for days. Lucas industries/the ones responsible for it are referred to as "Lucas The Prince Of Darkness" in many Jag owner circles lol. I've driven & owned the new breed Jags & they're basically a sexy Ford Taurus.

    BMW's glory years were 97-2003 as well. The transmission in the base Jaguar X308 is actually a BMW zf5hp24 unit.

    Here's the upgraded drum.

    Why because Jaguar's are the most over rated pieces of shit EVER.

    Spoken like a true layman, the X308/1997-2003 was the era where Jaguar developers finally worked out their bugs & was before the total Ford take over/emasculation. The only true flaws of this vehicle are plastic timing tensioners(easily replaceable w/ metal units),the aforementioned A-drum & the plastic thermostat housing, all of which I've upgraded. These cars have real wood,Connolly leather & some of the sexist lines on a modern vehicle. I've owned Maserati,Lexus,Corvettes etc. the X308 easily shits upon them all. No car hugs the road as gracefully.

    I'm rather fond of fast things, so I decided to upgrade my recently restored gem of a classic Jaguar. I added the supercharger from the same model's sport version/XJR. The end goal was to go from 290 horsepower to 370. In my zealous en devour(read as drunken planning) I didn't account for the additional torque on the transmission. First test drive netted me a 5 second 0-60 time & a huge bang that sounded & felt as if Godzilla had patted my car on the ass lol. It chewed up the forward/A-drum resulting in me having to have the entire transmission rebuilt. I replaced the weak stamped drum w/a better forged unit. Now my 4,000 pound land yacht is as nimble as she's ever been.

    Here's the mangled drum it's really befuddling as to why they would use a stamped piece of hardware in such a stressed location on @ the time a $70,000 vehicle.

    Crouton is like "Fisher Price's My 1st Drug Experience" kit for toddlers. Sack up son.

    In the last 48 hours I've consumed 43 ounces of 12 year old small batch whisky. I'm rather fond of the experience thus far.

    Well I tried to post my Jaguar upgrade thread, yet it doesn't give me a Captcha to do so, is there a limitation on new members ?! I'm always upgrading or destroying vehicles in my lair so new threads shouldn't be an issue lol.

    Alcohol is for stable pillars of the universe, I suggest you find something more suited for your disposition like Premsyn or Midol.
