Ive been toying with the idea of tweaking my XKR 100 but this seems too good to be true...an extra 53 HP for around £700!!

Have not had experiance from them, but seems like standard setup as per Racing Green Etc.
The only thing is there will be inpor duty Etc as well as FITTING.

I have had a lot of extra goodies fitted to my'R' but am a bit warie of over revving the supercharger, proberly good for extra power midrange but at top RPM could be a bit counter-roductive

Another XK100 owner Exclusive Club Membership

I really don't think you'll notice much of a difference, get a lary exhaust and maybe a different supercharger pulley but that's it.

XP out in the USA are great, espeacially with the xchange rate.

Join www.XKEC.co.uk we have a Wales Meet in September.

I bought some stuff from them (at today's FX rate it's a bargain, just make sure you get them to put a low value on the parcel for customs reasons).

Excellent service and couldn't praise them enough. The guy followed up my order with a series of emails, seeming genuinely interested, to check that everything had been installed OK and was working correctly.

Without wanting this to sound like eBay feedback, A++++, would deal with again. ;-)
