My new toy: TWR V12 XJS
Discussion
Hi all...this is my new toy...needs some love and attention....but should be the business once finished..
I am thinking....AJ6 Engineering high torque inlet manifold/big bore throttles....straight through pipes...Koni gas shocks...decent brakes...and perhaps a manual conversion later on..but doesn't the plate just finish it?..

Very nice!
I've got the AJ6 engineering bits on my V12, along with a manual transmission. It's pretty brisk, but the gearing is looooong with the 2.88 diff you get in the V12. I think its geared for 260 mph!
lol...that would be something, eh?..the first 200mph XJS...and probably 25 mpg too??...not bad going...but I reckon a 3;54 from the 3.6 sportspack is the way...should be very punchy...I've got the AJ6 engineering bits on my V12, along with a manual transmission.

I have the 3.54 diff and the rear axle from a 4.0L 96 car with the 3speed auto.
Acceleration is sooo much better, but top speed is around 125-130 on 235/40/17's , so it hits the limiter now on a few tracks.
I am also getting the AJ6 plus torque conversion soon, should make it even quicker to 100.
Nice find.

Well, I have a couple of sets of 15 x 7.5 Speedlines...I would probably stick with 235/60/15..plenty of grip but comfortable too...and as its factory size, it wouldn't affect the gearing unless I go with the 3;54 diff...in which case I would probably be better off with 17's..or stay with the 15's and just chew the road to 100...and then die! lol...Acceleration is sooo much better, but top speed is around 125-130 on 235/40/17's , so it hits the limiter now on a few tracks.

Would love to get the 3.54 diff fitted to mine, but it's rusty bits first, then the fun stuff.
I bet it would really shift, though.
Forgot to ask, is this TWR a 6 litre?
Its a 5.3, but has the TWR air intakes...there may be some mild engine tuning, I am not sure at this stage..I bet it would really shift, though.
