I'm looking to get Nitrons fitted to my Tuscan S. Can anyone recommend anywhere around the East Midlands area where I could get it done and then properly set up ?

Cheers,
Dave

Agreed...I think Joolz was heavily involved in getting Track Car Solutions up and running when I needed my car doing, however, read plenty about him since an its all very positive....give him a call .....If you know what you want from your car and can discuss such matters; Joolz will likely offer you a more specific tailored package than even Nitron themselves would supply.

Good Luck

Picked my car up from TCS on Friday fully Nitroned up and corner weighted. I asked for a fast road / GT setup with the rear end waywardness dialed down. That's exactly what I got back and the car now feels fantastic! The ride is so much smoother and it puts its power down so much better than before. The car is rock solid at high speed and very confidence inspiring and composed around the bends.....even bumpy ones. The feeling of unpredictability has gone and overall it feels far better to drive quickly and consequently much more enjoyable.

A big thumbs-up and a recommendation to TCS and their expertise

I'm in the same boat as you with regards time in country. Give TCS a call beforehand as it takes about a week to get the Nitrons delivered and then TCS normally need the car for 3 days for installation and set-up.

All in, drive-in, drive-out cost was just over 1400 quid inc. VAT. Money well spent judging by the outstanding results.

I've just been out in the car and taken it down some badly surfaced and lumpy back roads at well over 100mph. There were no brown trouser moments at all. The car soaked up the bumps, stayed in control and in a straight line the whole time. An amazing transformation.

Got CCC's on mine. It sounds like the devil shouting. Lots of popping and banging on the over run too.

My Tuscan 2 S is just a few months old, but I'm already aiming to get on track later in the year. Should I wait until the current suspension is getting a bit tired, or would I notice the benefits of Nitrons already?

The difference with nitrons would be night and day. The Mk2 Tuscans also have crappy dampers fitted as standard.

Took the car on a track day and it handled superbly. Very stable at high speed and through the corners, nice progressive break away and quite easy to hold in a power slide (much to the amusement of onlookers)

Anyway....suspension is now sorted....now the clutch slave cylinder has just blown
