My current personal vehicular love interest :
2000 Jaguar X308/XJ8 thus far I've rebuilt the problematic ZF tranny w/ a forged drum & upgraded pressure regulator, all metal timing tensioners & guides,beefed up the rear differential w/ a modified ratio(not @ liberty to reveal here lol). Full suspension replacement(all shocks,bushings,mounts,bump stops) & wheel bearings.
Audio : Head Unit : Kenwood DPX501BT (one of the few that would fit without having to hack everything beyond OEM recovery option)
Speakers : (Door) Rockford Fosgate P165 6.5' 2-ways w/ Memphis Audio 12' subs & amp in ported enclosure rear firing in trunk.
Wheels :November 2018 I upgraded my base Starburst Jag rims to the rarer Pentas(I found dead stock & shipped from a Coventry England warehouse). The Pentas are standard on the older XJR(supercharged version) & are 18' as opposed to the 16' that came standard on mine. I didn't want to sacrifice any ride comfort, so instead of the OEM called for 255/40R18 tire I went w/ 245/45/18 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+. Which fits the wheel well much better & the sidewall doesn't sacrifice much if any support for comfort , it also has a slight lip for rim protection = win/win lol. Really pleased with the set-up, refined when need be & still a beast on the bends !
Being the car's nearly 20 years old, the last thing I have to do is coming up March 2nd & that's the paint. It looks great @ about 7-10 feet but since I started washing & waxing it myself, I noticed all the clear coat faults & dings. She will be @ 100% complete come spring 2019 !
Also pondering going w/ the very rare full wood wheel, even though I hunted for monthes to find the proper conditioned half-wood wheel I installed just 3 mo.'s ago lol.
Current half-wood :
