Can't wait for the result on this. You will have the TT dizzy with the modified capsule. I bought one for £70,so that's how much they sell for. On the crank pulley,how many grooves are there? On my XR4i there's 3,and I am in the process of placing a 2.3 crank in,as it has a shorter stroke than the 2.8er. But,I was struggling to use the 3 grooved pulley,because the 2.3 crank is smaller in diameter.

My neighbor gave me this nickname. He is the official name-giver in our small, tight-knit neighborhood--kinda like what John Belushi's character Bluto Blutarsky was for Delta house.

Welcome James

Feel free to ask any questions or hunt around for information. Any chance of a couple of pics of your jaguar in the powered by section. You could even do an install diary here if you like as there aren't too many Jags kicking about on here.

I use to mess around with Honda's (still do a little actually) and primarily a 4th generation Accord (CB7). It's accord backwards. Like many others; it just stuck.

Somewhere around 1977-8, my dad (worked at Burroughs) brought home a few cut silicon wafer bits that went inside the TTL ICs of the day. Being 5 or 6, the only chips I knew were of the potato or corn varieties.... so I ate one.

Looking back, I'm lucky I didn't have some weird medical effect / intestinal lacerations etc..
