They may not seem an obvious upgrade, but silicone hoses can offer a great alternative to the standard OEM rubber fitted at the factory. You may have seen the Mods and Upgrades article in our January edition of Jaguar Enthusiast on suspension bushes which uses polyurethane as an alternative to rubber due to its durability. Much in a similar way we can replace rubber hoses that degrade with a more durable material, in this case silicone.  The use of silicone as an engineering material can be largely traced back to World…

It might sound strange but one of the best pound for pound modifications or upgrades you can make to your Jaguar are tyres. Generally speaking, most tyre fitters including ourselves would recommend fitting a homologated tyre. This is a tyre that is tested and approved by the motor manufacturer for your model, often suspension and handling set-up for the car is done using the homologated tyre, so this makes an awful lot of sense as they are working in harmony with the car. Jaguar homologated tyres will often have the letter…

Developed exclusively in partnership with Pipercross by Swallows Racing specifically for Jaguar. The foam is layered in a format that catches different particles at different levels. This layering, and the thickness off the foam, is what allows our filters to catch dirt, but not get blocked up in the same way an OEM paper or cotton filter would. The oil within the…

Swallows Racing has always been at the forefront of reinventing the wheel so to speak developing the power hungry AJ16 engine, developing the manual conversion to the S-Type R and now making the drivers Jaguar even better with manual conversions for the X150 body shell. The X150 has been the greatest of a generation and what’s not to love, from stunning looks to powerful engines and handling its the ultimate mix of all 3 however as driving purists would agree it is missing the all important ingredient.. a manual gearbox. We…

A sneaky peak into our development workshop. Soon to be available from Swallows Racing for the Jaguar XK8 / XKR these new improved strut bars with added gussets for additional stability, they will come in a powder coated finish for longevity. Why adding braces is a good idea? When you corner, the whole car’s chassis is twisting slightly. In the front (and perhaps at the back, but not so often) the suspension pillars will be moving relative to each other because there’s no direct physical link between them. They are connected…
