Ok im finally back on a laptop. my netbook crashed then my router went out so i been on my blackberry for about 2 months. now with a new laptop im good again. been doing a little work to the X along the way

here is the finished intake w/better pics

what is it with jag hoodliners and mice?

new hoodliner!

enginebay done

i started out with welsh centercaps. which are very nice. they are 3d with a clearcoat to make them smooth


finally got rims mounted



finally a mina 2008 grill the lower mesh is on the way



i also installed LEDs under the hood as well will get a nite time pic of that and lower mesh when it gets here

 

Nice gragner...very nice, thanks for sharing.
PS - Don't forget to update this thread when you complete the other upgrades such as the lower grill

 

Why such a small wheel. Might of as well just left the original wheels

 

WOW, what a comeback


To not dilute your thread I am not gonna ask why you didn't buy a notebook once yours was crushed ,well kinda asked lol

 

Thnx I will soon as grill gets here. The tires were brand new so I just went with 17s to use them. Still have netbook gonna try to fix it if I can so I can run JTIS program its XP run I heard on JTIS won't work with windows7. I really wanted the new blackberry tablet to link with my phone but its getting crap reviews

 

lower grill got here today. took a little work to get it on but here it is the motor bay is all LED lites

 

Bang on gragner......another improvement
Nice one.

 

Very sharp really!

 

Nicey nice, gragner66.

 

Thnx guys been over 20 years since I worked on cars forgot how much fun it is

 

lovin' the intake!

 

Tell the truth... Did you get 17s because your Continental tires were still in decent condition? Love everything on the car, but the wheels don't seem to suit it. I would do these on your car:



2005 JAGUAR S TYPE Wheel - OEM Replacement # ALY59770U | WheelsAndCaps.com

with the centers painted body color. It would look incredible.

Edit: By the way, JTIS runs on 32-bit Windows 7. I have it running on the Windows 7 machine I am posting this from and it is installed in my car. Not the best written app (in fact I think my kids could have come up with something better), but file and registry virtualization in Windows 7 fixes up all of the major architectural errors in the JTIS app.

 

Yea tires were brand new when I bought car and only have 3000 miles on them. It took me while to get use to the rims too. They stick out alittle futher than stock but show a lot more rotor which is what I was going for. I'm not sure if my new laptop runs 32bit win7 ill look today

 

SHARP!
Normally i wouldn't go with those wheels....but they look HOT!. I prefer the 17" wheel to the 18" (i think)...i need to start comparing some pics to get a better idea.
I''m still unsure how much "mod" i'll do to mine.
What color is the interior?...any mods there?
Care to tell where the cold air intake came from and how much?...i'll be looking for one soon...much difference with it?

 

Ive actually been looking to get wheels on the cheap. Thanx 4 the link expat

 

Black interior I have done LED lights, DVD, CF vynil on dash shifter knob, nav, cold air intake is from o'reileys exepat has a great post on it just do a cold air intake search. It sounds much better working with the Mina exhaust.

 

Where did you get the bumper spoilers and skirts

 

front lower is from Mina Gallery and the rest is stock

 

very nice ride! thanks for sharing!

 

I wish I could hear it! It looks nice!
