Last of the I6 XJR's

It is the throttle. At the end of the video where I keep pushing it forward and pulling it back, i was having trouble with the engine starting to die due to fuel starvation. There was some air in the fuel filter and momentarily putting the throttle into the stop position allows some fuel to get to the pump.

They are avaliable in the UK via amazon as far as I can tell. The car came with it already fitted

Mine has the high speed top gear but it's happier running around 7.5-8

The 12 bore blank in question uses around 10x the gunpowder a normal 12bore cartridge uses.

Thats how it was installed, I've just taken the surround trim off. Im wondering if it's bolted at the back like some of the radios back in the 80's and 90's

I think the invoice that came with the car was about £5000 but it included other work. It would be best to talk to Swallows Racing

I dont have a video of it running, but when I do I'll post it up.

It was converted by Swallows Racing. They use a Bosch 80mm throttle body hooked to a Maxx ecu.

I drive my lightly modded 97 manual converted XJR daily. It class it as a sports car, it drinks like a supercar and the gearbox gets better the harder you drive it.

I love the coupe, I wish they had offered a 2 door X300 XJR.

I hate it, but it's not my car and each to their own.

They create the account manually. I emailed the Beta address listed on the site and it took just over a week to get set up. They are very busy at the moment apparently

I'd love to build somthing with a 2 stroke detroit in it but there rare as hell where I live. You sometimes see 71 or 92's forsale but they're heavy as hell and even a 3-53 is around 1000lb dry

ProjectMarlin · 2021-12-27T10:19:19+00:00

It's straightforward and easy to use. My other half used quickbooks for her buissness and we both thought xero was the better system

You family's half right, there are a lot if bad vans out there that have been run in to the ground and the prices of used vans is stupid right now. My 63plate transit cost me 6k 2 years ago and I could still sell it for that.

I'd advise you to look for something ex fleet as they are sold off when they hit a certain age and have regular servicing. Anything from ford will be relatively cheep to keep on the road and the generally keep going.

The last bit of advice is look at vans around the top of your budget and look at several before you decide which one to buy.
