  1. The f-types sound nice thats about it IMO, I've driven a couple and the build is shocking on them unfortunately. Some nice motors there. Guessing your a tech at a Jag/Aston group?

    I'd agree with you the build quality has dropped compared to the xkr masively mainly on the gauge of the ally used on the body and plastic trims but I wouldn't go so far as to say there shocking! Imo the drive of the f types pisses over any Audi, merc equivalent that I've driven especially the gearbox. F type ones are flawless compared to the competition!

    But they have gained the cheap 'plastic' feel which I imagine is what your relating to.

    Yeh I'm a tech here

  4. Yeh buddy your right... On the exotic ones its generally servicing, brakes & checks as there trade ins and MOTs on the older ones.

    F types however mostly suffer with electrical issues, bar a few mechanical problems, faulty water pumps and a few engine failures there great cars! Time will tell though as I'm yet to see one with more than 30k on the clock!

    Plug change every other service sucks though 👎

  6. So what do you do when you've got an unfinished project... Buy another one :p I recently purchased a Glanza with low compression. After a strip down it was clear to see what was at fault! Time to rebuild the head :)

    Back from the machine shop from having the head skimmed... Note the build up on the exhaust valves

    81D8C5E6-0A1E-45C7-9D41-A1A03932F802_zps

    De-coked all the valves

    B080FE54-5B85-477E-A07B-ECF2210D7747_zps

    Lapping the valves back in and installing the new valve stem seals 😴

    Really pleased with the results!

  7. People dont know what they are missing!! Thats the reason its not shifted.

    A 4paw is soooooo much better than a normal GT or V.

    The handling, the grip, the weight distribution and overall balance just feels a lot better. And not to mention the way you can launch them, side stepping the clutch at 6k off the line.. starlet life doesnt get much better than that imo :p

    Stupid ain't it!!

    There's one on Facebook with Coilovers and a full exhaust system which he can't sell, I don't understand :/

    Glwts!
