exexpat Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Sorry I've been away so long, but rest assured I've been working on cars and even Jim's S90R Volvo project - don't disown me quite yet. :) So I found a 2008 XJ8L with 27k miles and did a few things... 22x8.5 Rosso Affinity + matching full sized spare 380mm/376mm big brake upgrade from 2012 XFR 45mm lowering via dealer software on factory air Carbon fiber covering all interior wood Mercedes pedals Backup camera and iPhone nav interrupt installed I've been working on the Celica also if you're interested in seeing progress. Here's one, but I have a few more: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyb5 Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Awesome stuff Jeremy! I've always enjoyed watching your builds over the years, you always find such unique cars to start with. Id like to see more pics of the Celica for sure. Did you get rid of your other Jag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuner4life Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 I love the XJ! One of my favorite Jags. I love the Celica too, but I would have been perfectly happy not knowing it's a Celica ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oreo931 Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 The grey poupon makes this car. Jk. The jag looks nice. Still can't believe that's a celica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exexpat Posted April 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Thanks all. Yes, I forgot to list the OE (to BMW) seat back hanger, picnic tray and Grey Poupon mods. 🙂 Kraske has the old Jag. You can't really tell from photos, but the old one is significantly smaller than this land yacht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiksilver Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Have always loved the XJ and the fact you got nearly a 2" drop from a trip to the dealer blows my mind. Keep up the awesome builds! Wasn't there talk of a Maserati at some point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(n)A-GAME Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Love it J...still have the Eurovan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exexpat Posted April 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 I actually bought the dealer software and mongoose cable. I can adjust the height myself in about 5 minutes. Also as sad as it sounds, I went with the xj for reliability vs. the maserati Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exexpat Posted April 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 I guess. As long as you stay away from the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exexpat Posted April 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 It's theotherwhitemeat (Jim B). I've since convinced him to wash it and he has better pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
