I mean, we are called the bad ideas garage after all 😂🎉

Yes!!

Mufflers are overrated, we want to hear all of the stallions all the time😂

The New Yorker is way more comfortable too lol

We drive Mazdas now and those also have timing chains. Good idea!

@@BadIdeasGarage samething Ford own Mazda tfr

@@onrdetailingnews802they did only until 2015.

Nice!

I’ve learned several things about these!

Thanks!

Heck yeah! Is it in good shape?

that I'm not sure of, but all the auxiliaries are there, even the gear box. paid 450 quid,that's 600 dollars. going to put some oil down the bores, and just crank it and do a compression test, then go from there. I'll keep you up dated 👍👍👍👍👍👍

@@liamhollin8265 heck yes! please do.

And partial to the second gen with the Cummins!

No worries, mate! I’m just behind on posting videos. I don’t think that they’ll be coming back, however, a leasing company in New York bought all of the rest of them so we will see what they end up doing with them.

@@BadIdeasGarage hopefully they find a way to come back.they looked pretty cool it's just there technology was pretty flawed.

@@BET_Tech yeah sadly I don't think they will come back :(

Thanks for the info!

Cool!

What year? I don't think so.

@@Checkyoursix77 read the rest of the comments, my dude, in this thread lol

@@BadIdeasGarage Read? Why don’t you drive or own one instead of believing everything you read online? I have owned several Jaguars during the last 30 years. My XJR since i bought it new in 99. Compared to German or Italian performance cars is the Jag a bargain to own. I can tell you that from experience…

Congrats for your ownership! I’ve driven several of these actually - this one is owned by a neighbor. Sheesh if you read at the comments in this thread you’ll see that I learned a thing or two my dude. Chill out.

@@BadIdeasGarage I’m chill, sorry if I came down hard!

0:23 yup! You will see that I learned a couple things from this video if you read the rest of the thread

I do like being topless though 😅🤣

It’s a 2 inch lift and I think 27 inch tires, but I need to ask the owner!

Cool! What models?

Heck yes! Thanks for sharing. This one with the ej22 swap is beyond fun to drive. It’s still not fast but it doesn’t need to be 😊

Continuously Variable Transmissions- it’s an automatic (as in, not a stick shift), but it doesn’t really have gears like you’d expect. So when you floor it rather than going through the gears, it just revs up high and can be loud. And it doesn’t feel fun at all. It sucks any fun out of driving. They also have a reputation for being hard and more expensive to maintain plus they don’t last as long usually as regular transmissions. They are getting better but I still won’t ever buy one.

@@BadIdeasGarage I see. My dad has a 2007 Dodge Caliber with a CVT. When you floor it the engine speeds way up but the car doesn't, so that seems about right. It's got about 109,000 miles on it and the transmission has never given any problems. It'll be my car in the future. I don't really care that much about the no-fun part, as long as it gets me from point A to point B it's whatever

I likely tried both but I can’t remember. Good point though!

lol what you got?

I seriously love that these are around

I’m the manager, I strategize the projects 😅😂

You mean, what kind of motor? This one has an upgraded 2.5 turbo.

@@BadIdeasGarage No, the other car that's giving the Shelby a boost, looks black and white, 2 dr?

@@GLHS60not sure 😅

It was like that for a bit before we put them back on. It was WAY too loud. It sounded good sometimes though lol

Yeah they are cheap but hoping to get some years out of them!

Well, it's the law, and this had a check engine light that wouldn't make it through emissions check here in Oregon. There also isn't really much of a performance gain anymore for taking them off.

Hahahahahah du bist überall Kollege. Wer hat dir weh getan?

They also dropped your entire bank account🤪

Yeah I wanted the “authentic” experience I guess 🤪

Facts 😎🤓

lol are you trying to say that it’s not based on the Volt?

The drivetrain (not visible) is! That’s like saying a dodge challenger and and a Chrysler 300 “look” the same.

Those also look the same. Especially because I see them at the Mechanic together all the time.🤪

They were non OEM - that’s all I remember!

Yeah I saw that. Not so much FUV after all!

I bought the tool on Amazon - it’s less than $10 and works in 3 seconds lol it was annoying to have to buy a tool but I could never get the relearn sequence to work. amzn.to/4ckhr6C

I feel validated😁

@@BadIdeasGarage - It's always better to take time to grab the grabber..lol

Thanks for a-KROIL-ing by my video 😎

I had this for a couple months, it was my first time using it. I feel silly it took me so long. It’s amazingly helpful! I used those mirrors instead of a scope.

Good thing it’s not mine then lol.

Well, good thing I avoided that!

Look at the comments my dude lol I’ve learned rest assured

Seems like a marketing-driven decision. Or accounting. It saves money not to have anchors in the third row. And the majority of owners will never use them. But at the same time, it’s such a small space that adults probably wouldn’t even be back there anyways. There’s a small age range of people who can use them 😀
