If money was no object, what would you do to your Tuscan?

[Fume Troll]

I think I would, in no particular order:

• Get a respray - it's not too bad but there are few chips
• Have a Wilder Fury engine fitted.
• Have an autoelectrician fully re-wire the car, put the fuse panel somewhere sensible, tidy up the mass of immobiliser wiring, sort out the "mind of their own" windows, and solve the battery drain problem once and for all.
• Get the bonnet modified so it would hinge up easily and then lift off if required.
• Probably have a body off chassis clean and powder coat (but that would just be for the hell of it really!)

Think that's about it!

Over to you...

Cheers,

FT.

Have a Wilder Fury engine fitted.- Agreed
Have an autoelectrician fully re-wire the car, put the fuse panel somewhere sensible, tidy up the mass of immobiliser wiring, sort out the "mind of their own" windows, and solve the battery drain problem once and for all.- Yep although never had a serious problem with these it's only a matter of time
Get the bonnet modified so it would hinge up easily and then lift off if required.- Definitely, in fact waiting for quotes at the moment.
Probably have a body off chassis clean and powder coat.- Not a bad idea considering the amount of salt they put down.

And take the car to a REAL chassis genius somewhere like Lotus to sort out the suspension and high speed handling.

Sell it and buy the latest Tamora you could

Wilder engine
Respray (same colour, just sort out stone chips)
Clean and protect chassis
Shocks with front lift system (so the car can be lowered slightly but not be upset be speed bumps, etc)
Have sealed light units made and fitted
A few Leven goodies (the cap set and the wipers, I think)

Front lift system?? Do you mean putting blocks under the hub between the steering arm thingy?? Is it a worthwhile mod??

[Fume Troll]

Oh yes, some nice carbon goodies would be great.

Actually, since money is no object, I think I'll have a full carbon body! Would be soooo much cooler than that carbon time attack supra.

FT.

[TOV!E]

SELL IT A BUY A DB9

[Fume Troll]

Why sell it if money is no object?

Cheers,

FT.

Am i right in thinking that the ACT carbon air box does absolutely nothing performance wise ?
If so why have best part of a grands worth of carbon fibre under your bonnet. yes its Friday

[Fume Troll]

The original airboxes crack, leak and are generally poor. Not sure if you get any more power from an ACT one but you do get something that works.

Totally agree, and the don't catch fire (well not as easily)

[pathfinder]

I'd give my Tuscan it's own TV series, like Airwolf or Streethawk. I'd call it Road... erm... car. Sorry, never thought that one through.

Oh, I'd get the side and back windows waterproofed too and the scratches taken off all the brass and metal switchgear.
