hi everybody, it was nice to get a message from the moderator Wayne who wondered where I was since no one heard from me in a long while. It is nice to be missed. So here I am, been busy building my 88 Jaguar XJS, some modifications and alot of new parts. Sounds like a mean machine now with...

Buy a JAGUAR, they are a dream machine, everyone who owns one loves them and says they are the favourite of all the cars they have ever owned, myself included. Check out my profile pics and see why a Jag is the car for you~!~!~!:bigsmile:

Maybe the best idea would be to visit some of those guys who build hotrods and see what they can come up with, like i said the muffler shops here don't deal with too much custom stuff epecially on older British cars. Since I have had this car up here in September, I have had three people tell me...

Hi Wayne, I would have the pipe exit right in front of the rear wheel and no closer to the drivers window, there isn't alot of room between the drivers window and the front of the rear wheel, I don't want to be huffing exhaust fumes. I think the trick is finding enough room for custom headers...

I don't know, the problem is trying to fit 6 cylinders out each side into one of the sidepipes from the engine bay instead of 4 cylinders out each side which is what the Corvette would use. I have only seen one Jaguar XJS with sidepipes and it was a race car, from Group 44 racing team. I wrote...

Do you know where I can get sidepipes for my 1988 Jaguar XJS 5.3 V12 ?~!~!There's lots of sidepipes for Corvettes but I can't find anything for the XJS. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks, Donna:?::wink:

Older Jags are true British cars, Ford Motors bought Jaguar in 1989 and I wouldn't own a Ford model, most of the Jaguar collectors over here in North America would not own one either. Ford made some real nice cars but they are older cars like the Ford Mustang from the 1960's.

yeah, I'm gonna get a car sticker that says "my car has a drinking problem"

alright guys, this post is to see if anyone has a sense of hunour~!~!~!:love:

Ban car mods? Not if they want my vote~!~!:sad2:

You're supposed to "fly" not drop like a rock, If I had a plane I would keep the plane before I would keep the car-depending on my mood lol:blink:

All fine and good, I know some science too, but the fact remains that the same "scientists" who promote the doctrine of green house gas and other bull are from the same lineage as Darwin who when he was afraid he'd end up in Hell for denying that he was a created being accountable to a Creator...

trade anyone??? and why? take into consideration that if a Jag ain't leakin oil it's probably outa oil, and if you own a Jag ya better have TWO so that ya have one to drive when the OTHER IS IN THE SHOP~!~!~!

what up yourself, welcome. Dont have a S6 but love my Jags though.

How come all the green house gasers drive cars, fly in planes, ride in boats, and yet complain about the emissions? I am not giving up my mean machine to go back to horse and cart~!~! Are you? Besides that I would rather deal with tailpipe emissions than pick up horse-poop ~!~! How about you?

:love: if you had to give up your car or your plane which would it be???:love:

Ha ha ha ha.....

Actually I don't give a damn about the DOCTRINE of green house gases, CO2 is GREAT PLANT FOOD~!~! Leave it up to some pinhead in a pinstriped suit pushin' a pencil to come up with a plan to "relieve" the working class of more of their hard earned money-that is what's really going on here~!~...

Hi, I don't understand your lingo, hot dogs? what?? Who makes the turbo flow mufflers you are talking about? I was thinking about side pipes? But can't find anywhere to get sidepipes, see them alot on older Corvettes. Are you saying that your tailpipe exits from the side of the car before the...

Finally a guy who doesn't believe in little green men and green house gases.

Yeah you're right~!~!~! The earth is flat, the sun revolves around the earth, there are little green men on Mars, oh yeah, when you capture one of those little green men make sure they go for a DNA test, I am sure they will have the same DNA that most of the GREEN house gasers have~!~!~!

I think it is extremely arrogant of mankind to think they are SOOOO significant as to change the weather of the world. If one takes their head out of the sand or that other nether region and considers the millions of galaxies that do a celestial dance around one another and the fact that our own...

Welcome, I am from Canada and female, and I drive a jaguar xjs and it's in the shop again, this time a wheel bearing hub.. a thousand dollar job, with the part being 750 American dollars..... Here at Torque cars I really did find that it is the friendliest car forum, we each drive different...

I am not sure if I understand what you are talking about but you should check out Welsh Enterprises in Ohio and ask for John Koish and tell him that Donna told you to call him. He might be able to help you find what you are looking for. Welsh Ent. is a place that deals in new and used Jaguar...

I agree, I won't go loud, but need it to make SOME noise since these engines are quite quiet anyway. I have cats and pipes and nothing else and it is still quiet. As for space, not much under my car and that is why i am having such a big deal finding something that will compliment the car's...

Ha ha ha......just the engine??? ha ha ha...you should just buy an XJS, and always keep a hundred dollar bill in the glove box for gas ha ha ha..... Donna

You want my engine? Is that what you said?

Does anyone have any ideas for a good muffler for a V12? The V12 engine is a smooth and quiet engine anyway so it is difficult to find something especially since there is so little room under the car anyway.

You'd spend more time at the garage too, maybe even breaking something just to have her fix it????ha ha ha.....

You did WHAT??? That's like someone giving YOU a sex change~!!~!~

Nope, never had a car that burned oil, one of my Jags leaks oil, as it is said about Jags, "if it ain't leakin' oil it's probably outa oil", the other leaks tranny fluid from the power steering pump like a sieve, (yes, that is TRANSMISSION fluid) that is what the manufacturer says to put in the...

I love really dark purple too, but black is my favourite colour, maybe I will paint my black jag with purple accents.

endless speeding tickets via photo radar, and the proposed carbon tax they want to introduce.

the one that "impersonates" a Jaguar.

should an older car be kept original or should it be customized? tell me your opinion for original or custom cars.

tell me why you prefer trucks over cars or cars over trucks and why???

how many of you favour black for cars?

Yes I heard that Ford made some very good quality control changes, but if one wants an authentic British car then one should buy OLDER Jaguar cars and nothing after Ford bought them after 1989. I haven't had much problems with either of my Jags, one is an '87, the other is an '88, and I prefer...

Make sure that you have the history of the car and find a car that has not been allowed to sit for long periods of time, these cars don't appreciate it. They are real gas guzzlers and repairs are expensive, some parts have to be ordered from the UK, if you don't mind paying for premium gas and...

lmao~!~!~!
