What would you change?
Discussion
There's something amiss with the suspension geometry that introduces a bit of bumpsteer. I think the car could benefit from stiffer springs and better dampers. I've fitted Nitrons with stiffer springs and the transformation is excellent.
These improvements would make the car handle a lot better.

More supportive seats (I roll from side to side in mine), and the ability to fit full harnesses.
Second that. It can be quite a challenge wrestling with the steering when you are sliding from side to side in the seat. Maybe we are just too skinny?
Your all too skinny
as I loooooveeee these seats, fit like a glove, or is it that I am a big guy???Agree - Ed, eat more chips, my seat's just snug! btw I now take the seat bottom out on the track even if I don't need the extra headroom - it turns it into a nice bucket seat.
What would I change - errr - not much - maybe better quality shocks. Maybe if the aerodynamics could be enhanced without resulting in a duck tail stuck on the back.

I would change the following -
Better window seals so water doesn't flow from the top of the window into the door.
Better vibration control of the instrument pod.
Better suspension - no diving under heavy braking.
6 gears.
Traction control.
ABS.
Better windscreen wipers for high speed driving.
Better positioning of the electric window knobs.
Different position of the fuel filler cap - so you can get a better grip and clean round it.
Forward facing air vents on centre section - Like LHD models.
19" wheel option.
Carbon Fibre Bodywork option.
Hardtop version.
Heated seats.
Retractable thigh supports.
Green on black LED display.
Not much but if these were implemented then it would be the best!

Electric window knob - I'd have it set for 'one shot' operation - 1 press to open fully, 1 to close rather than dallying around with spinning the dial as is.
Rear window catch design - its a bit pants - and I'd have a none scratch back window too it ultra light but very strong glass
.
Suspenion - ditto all said above.
Analogue rev counter to accompany the speedo.

Sorry to be obvious but speaking strictly personally, and with no disrespect intended to anyone who owns one of these fabulous cars - if it came with a V8 engine (even a Rover!!) then a Tuscan would be on my drive today instead of my Griff.

(Edited to say that although I realise that a V8 would probably be to the detriment of the handling and performance I was just addressing the "etc..." part of the question :-)

Traction control & ABS???!....................chicken.
Agreed about the skittishness of the handling but driver aids on a Tuscan??
Sorry but I'm afraid you need the
factor waiting to come and bite you on the arse if you abuse it - its all part of the fun.
Oh and a manual trip counter for Ferrari obliteration

See www.pistonheads.com/members/showCar.asp?carId=2066 Thats what I have changed and its all helped transform the car particually the Nitron suspension.Question is what to do next.I would like the silver speedo dial & better door trims.

I would make it have windscreen wipers that work and also not always display 'warning code L' all over the place when it doesn't actually go up to L in the handbook.
I'll third the more supportive seats idea too - way to big!
Better speakers would also be good to have as standard
Apart from that I wouldnt change a thing!
