I'm glad for ya .You got some piece of cool upgrades .Enjoy it

 

This thread is useless w/o pics!

Now I can brag to all my friends; I know somebody who went from a Jag to my platform!

 

Not Lexus style rear lamps!
Jim were you pssed when you decided on these or are you thinking of going to cruises with 17-20 year olds and their chavvedup saxos etc
AAAARRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

 

Buck mate, calm down....lol
They call them " lexus style" rear lamps, but they are actually the latest Ford Original part in the lexus style I guess. The ones with the white inserts and the chrome surround around the bottom.....lol]
I really need to get a good day and clean her and posat some pics, but the weathers been bloody awful lately[&:]

Just got back a few mins ago. Left early today and drove to Derby, around 283 miles for a meeting, then came back around the same distance, obviously....lol
Stuck it on cruise at around 80 -85mph for most of the way with a few burst of 110+ to keep me sane. Averaged 49.6mpg with 252 miles left to empty.
On the way back same as before at 85 mph on cruise with a few blasts here n there and I ended up with 51.2 mpg and a total range of 535 miles. I reckon with some careful driving that 600 miles + would be easily achievable.

Jim

 

Man that is awesome...I'd love to get that especially out of a decent car and decent sized car not the toy cars... my uncle gets 40+ in his toyota yaris and the car is actually pretty big inside you can easily fit 4 adults easier in that than my jag...but still thats a 4 cylinder stick and its ugly outside!

 

+1 Aquill
The Yaris??.............Poor poor man!
Its a nice wee car!

Jim

 

It's a nice car excellent if your trying to save some money on mpg but when your getting more mileage than him with a bigger car, motor and a lot better looking car that is unfair!

 

Hey don't get me wrong, they're great cars for gettin excellent fuel economy, but you wouldn't wanna be seen in them would you?
Its like when I used to get a bloody Ford Ka when my Mondeo of old was in for service.........Jeeeesh, I really needed one for each foot......lol

Jim

 

Nah its not that bad but why be seen in that car with that small of a motor when you could be seen in your car? It isn't worth it to me! Shoot my crotch rocket had nearly the same size motor and I'm pretty sure my 900cc's put out more power than his engine!

 

I'd bet it does for sure

Jim

 

What does benz do for a living, shesh w/all those cars at 22yrs of age, damn. No wonder he hasn't experienced depreciation, he's never driven a poor man's car!

Aquill-sorry I didn't see your post at the top. How's your grandfather doing? Hope all is well.

Hehe, I've seen that cummins video, dude got torn up.

Now I'm not sure about posting videos on here of 'excessive' speeding, so I'm linking it, and will take them off if it's against rules.

Here's a lovely 3L swap by some guy on CEG, just driving like a moron: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ghi8n_ZE7YE

Here are two turbo SVTs out on Woodward. The silver one has a 2.5L, the red one did a 3L swap. Know the guy w/the red one, beautiful car...friggin' fast too. In the vid it takes down an STI!!! [8D] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gG42yRxgpMM

For Jim-Here's autocrossing, this is what your Mondeo was built for. This is on a stock Contour: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuC-62t_Kk8

It is so much fun, and just about anyone can do it, regardless of driving ability. Be sure to try it out in the Mondy. It'll definitely make you think twice about how heavy the Jag is...

 

Nice vids ancient....thanks

Don't know about the auto crossing though ancient.....its a diesel mate and although modded slightly, still a diesel even if its a fast one....lol
Maybe if I get some NOS on it, take out the back seats,spare tyre etc etc, who knows??

Jim

 

Same geometry as the regular Mondeo, is it not? As you can see I'm clueless on diesels, as here in the US, we have next to none.

 

Only difference is Sports suspension and 18" rims

Jim
