For those of you that don't know, VTEC is a hydraulic variable profile cam system. At a certain RPM, a solenoid opens an oilway in the head, engaging some hydraulic lifters that switch to the more aggressive cam profile. This would usually be done through the ECU but as I'm not using the throttle b...

It's yours do what you want. I just remember running two cars on a budget & neither of them ever being right.

I'd just run the ovlov, trail braking into bends can get them sideways with practice. ...

Thanks it is indeed, I always thought they weren't as a V8 isn't proper. But it hides it well & behaves like a proper engine with a lovely grumble underneath the blower screaming when asked to move.

Oddly enough I worry more about about taking the seat apart when I get around to it. Stripping an engine like that is simple enough if you follow a plan & so forth. I've never taken a seat apart so it'll be strange new territory for me.

Put a wheel barrow at the boot of the ovlov & slide the engine in.

Or cut a hole in the floor & make a twin engined ovlov.

It's about time I got this thread here I guess... A quick recap, I got this XJR in jan with 76k on it. It's now on nearly 80k at an average of 18.6mpg according to the dash. Seems reasonable to me for a 1.7ton luxuary beast with a 4ltr supercharged V8 auto that makes me smile every time I drive it &...

Aye that's the place, I know the name now you said it. I must have passed his cafe as I went that way too.
