E' per quello che bisogna tenerla ferma sui cavalletti... 

Ciao

In primo luogo il mio italiano non esiste modo scuse come ho dovuto usare Google Translate quindi questo è probabilmente sbagliato!

Mi sono imbattuto in questo sito dopo la ricerca di siti web legati alla Jaguar Janspeed biturbo XJ40 e notato che hai preso in prestito il mio post sulla xj40.com per quanto riguarda la 'speciale' modelli della XJ40.

Io sono una delle persone su xj40.com che possiede un Janspeed twin turbo, il mio è basata sulla versione TWR XJR.

Il mio è attualmente oggetto di un restauro e le modifiche!

Se ci sono tutte le informazioni che si desidera, chiedere via come probabilmente sapete più di altri.

Sto leggendo questo sito con Google Translate anche, e le sue chiazze (quindi se mi mandi una email o in inglese messaggio privato sarebbe molto utile!)

Spiacente!

Hi.

Thanks for letting me use english.

It always amazes me how everyone else can understand english, yet us english are useless with every other language!

Did i understand correctly you have an on-site translator? The bit im finding difficult is navigation!

Well im glad you are interested in my janspeed.

I am among a small group of people who own such cars, i have a friend nearby who owns two janspeeds, an xjr version such as mine and also a daimler. I then have another friend who owns another daimler.

There really is little information available, even janspeed have not got anything (i have a contact who works there trying to find information for me).

I have been taking a closer look at the photos of that white xj40 and from the engine bay pictures it looks different to a janspeed setup.

nope, there's no translator... it was just a joke cause we have a guy here who's not able to speak italian (and, yes, he's italian) so every time we have to work out what the hell he wanted to say.
i guess we don't have real estimators of janspeeds here. there was just one of us -well known to buy old crap cars and sell them after few months for double the price (at least he claims)- who found that white jaguar and was trying to collect info about.
the problem is that a lot of times people in italy write holy shittin crap about the car they are trying to sell... (so probably it's not a real janspeed, as you pointed out)

ah!

i wasnt sure if it was a joke or not.

don't get me wrong about the white xj40, its definately a turbo'd one of some description, its not a standard setup by any stretch of the imagination, i doesnt say on the advert anywhere about it being a janspeed. im wondering if its a turbo technics or even an arden bi-turbo.

just a bit of background on the janspeeds:

janspeed started converting the xj40 in 1988 as jaguar never designed the xj40 to take the v12 engine, so basically customers wanted more power than the straight 6 gave, so they bolted on a pair of rotomaster turbos and retro-fitted a entirely different management system. This gave them around 293bhp and about 340lb/ft torque which will see the car at 60mph in just under 6 seconds, which for a 1900kg automatic car is damned good. They supposidly built around 60 cars, but due to the very small numbers left (i have found 3 in good condition and mine and know of 3 others that did exist at some point - one the janspeed demonstrator, another missing in action and the third scrapped) it would seem they either didnt survive well or janspeed built a lot less.

ive only driven mine a few times, once to get it on our transporter, taking it off and a blast down our workshop road and then again moving it into the workshop, i floored it going down the road (the road is probably 1/4mile long) and it goes scarily quickly.

as said in my post on xj40.com, i am restoring it and uprating it, going to fit a manual 5 speed gearbox from a later 5 speed supercharged xjr, along with brembo brakes, i basically want the smooth refined nature of the jag coupled with brutal force of the turbos through a manual gearbox.

also, could somebody give me a run down of this topic?

the google translator is poor!

i basically got that he was looking at it and trying to work out what it was, but somewhere i read that he bought the xj40 and put it on stands under a car cover?
