Sadly, none of us have the savvy to know how to handle this car like he did, as he knew that car so intimately, and had kept it his project for years. We are currently working on presenting it for sale. Meanwhile, I thought it appropriate to share a piece I had written on his blog about the infamous Jaguar XK120 Roadster (seems I have started writing an memoir - book - with stories about life and my father - so this is one of the chapters.) With love Pa, as your birthday approaches...<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
____________________________________________________</div>
<h2 class="p1">
<span class="s1">The Conversation</span></h2>
<div class="p1">
</div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">I woke up yesterday morning curled up into a ball of deep heaving tears. As I sit to write this I realize today marks exactly 6 months since our father was identified as certifiably dead. Not exactly the easiest or best way to put it, but flat out, it isn’t the day he died, it is the day they identified him as dead. However, I didn’t wake up crying because of the anniversary, but rather the last moments of a very active and visceral dream I’d been having with him.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>I have not dreamed of my father up until now.</span></div>
<div class="p3" style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span class="s1">We were traveling around, as if we were doing errands; shopping, collecting things and shoving items into a vehicle we were in. I vaguely remember my mother being along for all this, nagging her Pito about the things we were collecting. I remember struggling to get some things in, and when pulling things out of the back, feeling as if there was no way we could get all that stuff back in there again. Also my father, in a way that felt like a playful joke, had written on the back of my calves while I was driving, a model number and serial number for something. I recall not having my glasses to clearly see the numbers.</span></div>
<div class="p3" style="padding-left: 30px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3" style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span class="s1">We were not “home” but it felt as if we were staying in some transitional space. </span></div>
<div class="p3" style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span class="s1">My father opens a door to a “bedroom” and says, “I’ve got some things to get down about the cars, then I am going to bed.” I suddenly feel as if this is my only chance so I tell him, “I have something to talk to you about,” and I follow him in. I feel anxious and timid about even approaching what I am there to talk to him about. He sits at a computer running through an application and asks to see my calves. The serial numbers I feel are related to the Jag. As the program runs, a document is created on the screen and there are signatures inscribed on “sign here” lines; the name Julie something is signed, like a Jane Doe sample, on numerous pages. </span></div>
<div class="p3" style="padding-left: 30px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3" style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span class="s1">I ask, “So this is something we need if we decide we need to sell the Jag?”</span></div>
<div class="p3" style="padding-left: 30px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3" style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span class="s1">Pa turns to me, puzzled, “Why would you need to sell the Jag?”</span></div>
<div class="p3" style="padding-left: 30px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3" style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span class="s1">“Pa, it’s a huge fiscal responsibility!” I can hear my exasperation with him, and he is looking at me with similar sentiment. “How is that even practical? It’s not like I can make it my primary car, Pa!” For a moment, his face changes as he recognizes that this is so powerfully true.</span></div>
<div class="p3" style="padding-left: 30px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3" style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span class="s1">Then a different transition of expression as his face shifts into a soft, almost childlike expression of wonderment, and he looks out the window in front of us to the Jaguar, “That’s what I get for having a toy that beautiful,” he whispers. (And because he whispered this, I am still not sure exactly how he said it, but “I get,” and “beautiful” were there, and I could feel the energy with which it was expressed.)</span></div>
<div class="p3" style="padding-left: 30px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3" style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span class="s1">“And the color, Pa, that you picked for that car is by far my favorite. It IS beautiful!” </span></div>
<div class="p3" style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span class="s1">Our eyes meet and I can feel all my guilt and fear well up in me about both his most prized possession AND my responsibility for it. I quiver like a child, like his daughter coming for reassurance. “You won’t be mad at me if we decide to sell it?”<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>I ask as I begin to feel my lip quiver in the vast space he holds. Tears come as he opens his big arms, and I fall into the crick of his shoulder and neck. I can feel his grey whiskers against my neck, and I can smell his Pito smell, and he holds me in a big embrace as I weep against him.</span></div>
<div class="p3" style="padding-left: 30px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">I wake up, crying. I can’t tell which is real for a few moments, so I keep my eyes closed and cry into the dream as best I can, for as long as I can, because I miss him. I’m afraid I will forget his smell, the way his hugs feel, and the warmth of his body when he has held me close.</span></div>
<div class="p3">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">The 1952 Jaguar XK120 Roadster has been really hard to figure out. None of us kids really want the responsibility of it, it's just too much “car”. So, my heart has ached about letting go of it, while knowing there really isn’t a lot we can do to make it financially easy to keep. Storing it, the mechanics, gasoline, INSURANCE! It's a huge fiscal responsibility. It will sit in a garage again like it had, and that Roadster really wants to be screaming along roads, roaring and showing itself off. Our father knew that car intimately, involved in <a href="http://papito-paul.blogspot.com/"><span class="s2">every aspect of its renovation</span></a>. Additionally, he has had it since he was 19, purchasing it from his brother who owned it briefly after acquiring it from the original owner. We have a picture of our Great Grandfather sitting in that Jag. I have faint memories of riding with him in that vehicle down the highway in San Diego when I was young. When he got his dream job in New York, the Jaguar was the last thing they carefully packed in the moving van, and the first thing out.</span></div>
<div class="p3">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<a href="http://mindfulfundamentals.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/1964grandpaharderjag.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="1964grandpaharderjag" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1934" src="http://mindfulfundamentals.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/1964grandpaharderjag.jpg" height="302" width="446" /></a></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">After years degrading in his basement in NY, it was again packaged for its trip to Florida after his retirement, and he started the slow and arduous process of bringing it back to life. Although he never quite shared her name with me, I call it a Jaguarstien, and amalgamation of old and new, and the brainchild of his own hobbyistic “secretly wild-boy” enthusiasm. There have been a few changes to the beast that us kids have cringed at, and one in particular that he never finished (thank god!) after my sneering disapproval (I’d like to think I am responsible for the prevention of foreign headrests). </span></div>
<div class="p3">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">Regardless of the purity of his Jag, he joined the Jag club, and I began to attend Jag Rallys, Jag breakfasts, Jag parties, and Jag crawls (though I think they call them “prowls”) because of the length of time getting from point A to point B on any given afternoon among a caravan of enthusiasts. We took pictures of his treasure, and I became part of a tender group of people who were quick to enjoy our father’s humor and playfulness.</span></div>
<div class="p3">
<a href="http://mindfulfundamentals.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/JagSunset.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="JagSunset" class="aligncenter wp-image-1935 size-medium" src="http://mindfulfundamentals.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/JagSunset-300x197.jpg" height="262" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="p3">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">The Jag club even made a special award for him, and by the last year or two of his life, he was the active Badge Master, assuring that everyone had their name tags, and brought them to events. He worked to help at every event, and at his “happy hour” celebration, his friends arrived to celebrate him and present an award for being the most involved member (that story has a funny edge to it too!) I am known by the club, and I could never express the depth of gratitude for their arrival during our grief and the loss of our father. Every event was on his calendar (that he kept shared with me, so I also know about appointments, spa day for Gizmo, trash day, target Tuesday, and other regularly scheduled events). </span></div>
<div class="p3">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">My favorite thing however, was to ride shotgun with Pa when I would visit. Sure, I attended events and enjoyed the socializing. I loved that I was his date for every January Holiday party with the Jag club. However, he had a sort of zen energy when we took those back road trips, much like we did when I was a teenager. As my hair whipped around my face, and all the grit from the joints and wing vents pelted me on a ride, I would feign the terror of being on a death ride with him. However, inside both of us would be beaming. THIS is one of the ways I could connect with my father. I would joke that I went around with him just so I could be the “eye candy” for all the goats who had to stare at us on the road. He relished that car. </span></div>
<div class="p3">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">So I think the conversation with him was really to get him to understand, or for HIM to get ME to understand. Our brains are amazing... that conversation was really so succinct and EXACTLY what I needed. It felt so clearly of him, even when at first I recognized that he didn’t like the idea... then as it made sense he assured me with a big hug that none of his love was wrapped into his feelings for the Jag. The Jag, it was just a vehicle to help us on this plane to connect with each other when he was alive. And this is so important, because NONE of his LOVE is wrapped up in any of the things left behind, but rather in the space in which he holds each of us, and we him, and the ways in which we know each others hearts. His love beats though my blood vessels every moment, and his pride shines from my smile, and his being is all that I am, and more. I honor him when I continue to grow in the world, when I shine my light on others, when I love and live as big and brilliantly as possible. And, that hug, falling into his weight and warmth, just his daughter, just my father, was a reminder that all we have is love.</span></div>

While I am in there I will also replace the narrow band HEGO (Heated Exhaust Gas Oxygen) sensors with an Inovate 3844 MTXL wide band air/fuel ratio gauge/logger to have the ECU fine tune the mixture.</div>

<br />
Still need:<br />
<ul>
<li>6 ballast resistors for the low impedance injectors. The ECU requires high impedance.</li>
<li>Three way switch and resistor to dynamically switch between ECU maps.</li>
<li>Fabricate an extended dash on the transmission tunnel for the AFR gauge, map switch, and idiot lights for low fuel, and radiator fan running.</li>
</ul>
All it takes is money, time and sweat.<br />

I Just wanted to get a baseline benchmark before changing the stock ECU (Engine Computer) to an Emerald K6 ECU.<br />
<br />
Put on the dynamometer (rolling road) and did 3 pulls.<br />
<ol>
<li>Found why limited top speed. Getting starved for air.</li>
<li>Disconnected MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor.</li>
<li>Replaced 50mm MAF with 75mm MAF.</li>

I had a bad transmission leak. I pulled the transmission and found it was the bell housing where it mated with the shift rod. Repaired it with epoxy clay and a new gasket fabricated from gasket material.

1964 - Grandfather in my 1952 Jaguar XK120 Open Two Seater. My brother, James, 1951 Mark V Jaguar parked behind.PiTohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08558048700790182532noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8880079778192142085.post-84974450997554826812012-07-28T19:17:00.001-05:002012-07-28T19:17:33.961-05:00Early birthday presentFor my birthday this year, instead of a new gun or a case of ammunition, I decided to retire the decade old (has it really been that long) Ford Focus ZX3. I thought I would go with a Honda again, and was disappointed that they no longer make a Prelude. I had two of them, and enjoyed them very much.<br />
<br />
So I started to do some research and found the Civic models were as close as I could come for a new car instead of buying a used Prelude with a questionable history. I got a flier in the mail offering half the 30 shekels for betraying my beloved ZX3. So Gizmo said, "Let's go for a ride!".<br />
<br />
I had looked at the new Fiestas and was not impressed, and the available colors were not to my liking.<br />
<br />
Base requirements for me: 2 door, Standard transmission, light color (definitely NOT red or black), air conditioning (gets a real workout in Florida), tinted glass (another must for the Sunshine State), enough power to get out of its own way (I rented a Pinto once and also drove my sister's Audi "60 Minutes ( 0..60 in 60 minutes), anything else is a bonus.<br />
<br />
Gizmo and I took a ride in the Focus to Headquarters Honda in Clermont, Florida to meet our host for the rest of the day. We really made Mike Jahangir earn his keep. We took a test drive in a 4-door Civic Si, but it was not a 2 door. I liked the color. He had a dark blue non Si model that we finally decided on. So we did a lot of paperwork signing and left pick it up the next morning. Bringing in my title for the Ford.<br />
<br />
Later I received a call from Mike that the car had already been sold and he was scouring the dealerships for another one. He found one that was black, but that was not an acceptable color. He kept looking and found a red one in another state. Nope, definitely NOT RED.<br />
<br />
After Gizmo and I had our afternoon siesta, I opened up my lock box to get the title for the Focus. HORRORS. There was a mass of literally molded together mass of important papers. The box was in a cool dry place in the closet, but no dessicant in the sealed container. I put the mass in the oven on low heat for an hour to dry it out and peeled the partially destroyed title document away from the rest.<br />
<br />
Friday morning we went back to HQ Honda with the title and found some good news. They had a white Civic Si model that had just come in from the factory just before closing time the night before, but after Mike had gone home, so did not even know about it. <br />
<br />
Ok, let's go to the back lot to check it out. Gizmo went right for it and was ready to jump in and for a ride, so I knew this must be the one. But this one was a few more kilobucks more than the one we had contracted, that was sold. So Gizmo kept everyone in the dealership entertained while more paperwork was being done. All of my requirements were met and exceeded.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>VTEC</strong> (<strong>Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control</strong>)
is an electronic and mechanical system that
allows the engine to effectively have multiple camshafts. As the engine
moves into different rpm ranges, the engine's computer can activate
alternate lobes on the camshaft and change the cam's timing. In this
way, the engine gets the best features of low-speed and high-speed
camshafts in the same engine.</span><br /><br />Transmission: Close-Ratio 6-Speed Manual Transmission.<br />Gear Ratios: <br />1st: 3.267<br />2nd: 2.040<br />3rd: 1.429<br />4th: 1.073<br />5th: 0.830<br />6th: 0.647<br />Reverse: 3.583<br />Final Drive: 4.76 Helical Limited-Slip Differential<br /><br />Body/Suspension/Chassis: Unit-Body Construction, MacPherson Strut Front Suspension, Multi-Link Rear Suspension, Motion-Adaptive Electric Power-Assisted Rack-and-Pinion Steering (EPS), 3.11 Steering Wheel Turns, Lock-to-Lock, 11.8 Power-Assisted Ventilated Front Disc brakes, 10.2 Solid Rear Disc Brakes, 17" Alloy wheels, Michelin® Pilot® Exalto® PE2™ Summer Tires 215/45 ZR17 91W<br /><br />Calculated data:<br />

Yesterday I went to Industrial metal supply and picked up 2"x12" round aluminium bar stock. Today spent most of the morning cleaning and oiling my dad's lathe, which had not been used in about 30 years. Then I chucked the bar up and turned out 2 different gear shift knobs. I have a pilot hole, but have to wait until I get home to make sure I use the correct drill and tap for the shift lever. I don't know yet which one I prefer.<br />
