[x 7usc]

picked the tuscan up on thursday after service and the fitting of racing reds, wow! the factory setup really was st wasnt it. had new rear wishbone bushes too and oh how i all the way home, totaly different car! got carried away while it was away though and had the door seals replaced so the doors pop open like they used to. bring on the dry days

I was aking about these a few months ago but opted for Nitrons in the end mainly because i hadn't heard much about them.

I picked mine up last Friday and like you say the factory set up was st! i couldn't believe how much better it handled even just doing motorway miles.

Yep, Racing Reds fitted by TVR Power last week based on the advice of Dom. Have completely transfomed the car.

Not sure how the Tuscan is as I've never driven one but the T350 is twitchy in a straight line on full acceleration - presumably the Tuscan is/was the same? If so is it now a stable beast on the straight as well as confidence inspiring on corners?

yea it certainly was a handfull, i put it down to "they all do that sir" being my first tvr, but now, well what a difference, instantly more confident with the car, ride is less harsh and feels so stable at motorway speeds
obviously not been able to test her properly yet what with the weather but a totally different car, all the twitchyness has gone and it no longer unclips the roof over every pothole!!!
the only thing that has'nt changed is it still goes sideways...... a lot

any new shocks over the standard set up is bound to improve the ride and feeling of safety, the balance is that the money you spend on RR delivers.

I've seen a Tuscan Red Rose on the track with Nitons fitted. It did handle well, and out did me on the straight.
