What did you do to the engine?

Jaguar designed the AJ35 engine and some parts were changed for Jaguar. Engine itself has been modified and dyno-tuned. Visible Jaguar parts are engine cover and coil covers.

Is this a modification of a Neiman Marcus car? Anyway, I love what you have done with it. It looks sinister and that is meant as a compliment. Great job!

eboose7, Thank you. Car is 2004 so it's not a 2002 N-M car. Interior is similar to N-M car as it's partial-white. I do have one of the 200 original Neiman-Marcus satin silver hardtops that I found in a St. Louis warehouse.

Regardless, the car is beautiful. It looks like it is going 100 m.p.h. sitting still!

@[6502😡Sierra977] did the suspension lower the car, if so, how far?

Eibach ProKit lowered the car 2" front and rear.

ETA: Rear fenders have been flared/spacered but tire clearance was OK anyway
