Wedge to work

[KKson]

Well I've had the 390SE for 10 months now and at last I'm at a point where I can actually safely and reliably drive her so first time she's been to the new office. I thought the 350i was fun - but the 390SE is soooo much quicker.

Depends - "to do" list still quite long....

New steering column bottom bearing to replace
Full 4 wheel alignment required
Brackets and fit Jag AFM
Mark Adams adjust ECU and then rolling road day
Waterproof engine bay - when it rains water pours into the drivers foot well
Wiring problem on headlamps
Rebuild front calipers
Soft top velco to replace on sides

I was underneath it yesterday adjusting the handbrake and the chassis and underside is just immaculate.

Mmmm....A fair bit of fettle needed then...But all doable in 8 weeks ......The water is probably coming in from a grommet less hole somewhere...I had a few on Delilah...Flexible mastic will sort it...That velcro is a PITA ..Normally just screwed into the fibreglass like mine...Actually don't see why its there?...You don't need to un-hook it..I did have an idea for it...Might get back on it to see if it works..Basically the same kind of thing but slightly modified.

There is a big difference between the 350 and the 4 litre, performance wise. It just pushes it into that supercar teritory. I have never owned a 350 but I have driven them. All my past Wedges have been 4 litre or more. I love them. In good tune the performance is awesome.

I drove my 350i from Ohio down to Virginia. Plan is to take it to Out of the Woodwork, our national over here. So it is my daily driver for two weeks. 420 miles in it's first outing! It needs a four wheel alignment and new rear tires but it going into the shop to replace all the rear bushes and shocks when it goes home in two weeks. Then the vibration and noise will be much easier to take. Oh but the power!
