Odds, how are you enjoying the new ride? Did you sort out your front shocks?
On another note, I'm thinking about upgrading the intake elbow. Here's a link I lifted from the S-Type site:
https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/s...it-strs-83960/
The guy talks about coming out with a Stage 2 kit that will be carbon to eliminate rough edges inside that impede airflow. Stage 1 kit seems to be reasonable at around $220 incl. shipping.
I did some checking on e-bay and came up with this:
Jaguar XJR XJ8 4 0L Supercharged 98 03 Air Intake System Systems K N Filter | eBay
I'm not sure about the quality as this is a very low price, half of the Stage 1 kit described in the first link.
Any thoughts?

Today, I'll be replacing the sub woofer ring with a new one from SpeakerWorks.com. My good friend is opening the shop he works in this morning so I'll have all the tools and assistance I need to get the job done right! I will take copious amounts of pictures and add in-pic captions using Photoshop later so there's finally a fool proof guide to how to fix that common sub woofer problem.

My front CATS shocks arrived in the mail yesterday. How shall I proceed? Does anyone in the OC Jag Club have a capable garage or shop that they'd be willing to open for the shock replacement job? I'd be more than happy to buy lunch and some beverages in return for the help.
When's the next meet up, Tirefriar?

Hey y'all. I successfully replaced the foam ring of my Alpine sub woofer on Saturday. The sound system sounds real nice now... The time and effort was definitely worth it. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures until half-way through the process.

I've been starting the research on the CATS swap. Looks like I'll need at least a couple jacks, but I don't know which others hand tools will be necessary yet. I live in near Torrance/San Pedro. How about you?

Odds, I believe the meets are held on 2nd weekend of each month.
I'm in encino/Sherman oaks area.
For tools I'd suggest harbor freight if you are on a budget. That would include jack stands and floor jacks. Their quality could be a hit or miss. These are low end tools on the cheap. If you want superior quality then snap on or Mac tools would be the place to look but mucho dinero.
Dsnyder recommends going with at least two floor jacks and after working on my cars, I concur. Also, go with at least 2 jack stands but 4 never hurt.

Codes
Question: I'm car illiterate. Sorry... I posted the codes that came up and the only response I got back was How To clear the codes. Why would I want to clear the codes? Am I not wanting to use the codes to repair the potential problems?
Any takers? We could list up on this thread, and when we hit 10 fire it up.
I would like to see repair and maintenance clinics, maybe once a quarter- meetups once every month or two months and the meetups to revolve around breakfast... Cars and Coffee could be a regular event, and part acquisition and exchange would be facilitated and help us all to keep cost of ownership low.
In the gaming world, "clubs" identify themselves by a set of characters before their name, we could do the same to identify ourselves on the boards/threads.
EX: [OCCLUB]dsnyder586
I will volunteer myself as the first member and start the list- please add yourself to the list and when we get to ten we will launch.
