I like it!


I think the wing is much better than the spoiler.

Where did you source the head fairings/cowlings on top of the rear seats?

Speaking of backwards, I hope you're not lifting it facing the rear.



Motor adjacent to the hydraulics

Ugh, "motor".

Ha ha, I made it last winter then had it covered with interior match leather. I had purchased the Mina Speed Humps but was not quite as happy with it as I thought I would be. I also like the one-of-a-kind look too.



It was fun and rewarding to design & fabricate it but not something I'd be looking to do again. If you are handy/diy'r it is a pretty straight forward process, alot like boat builders use.

But you added Adaptive Cruise Control and deleted the steering wheel audio control.

Here are the pics of the clear reflectors on mydirty vert. In my view a major improvement for little effort:

Going on an extended trip overseas so gotta say bye to the Jag for a few weeks. I don't know how you northerners do it every winter.

Travel safely and enjoy it. I always miss my XKR and the Forum when on the road.

Replaced the gasket and seals on the LH valve cover, although the gasket was not the direct source of my oil leak. While disassembling, I found the lower valve cover bolt, closest to the firewall was not tight, in fact it probably would have fallen out if the seal wasn’t holding it in place. (Will post more details in my ‘Aw Crap... Oil Leak’ thread on Monday when I’m near a PC.)
