tamora ride height and suspension geometry

[brucec]

Looking at my Tamora I think the front end is too low. I know they're meant to be low, but the tyre is frighteningly close to the wheel arch and on full lock actually rubs the inner wing.

Looking at the shocks I see they are adjustable for ride height...anyone know the proper specs and where to measure from?

Alos - anyone got Geo settings (toe and camber) for the Tamora?

I'm running 16s.

cheers

No Nitrons yet Bruce ;-)

Drop Joolz a line he may well have an idea:

Anyone fitted Nitrons then? Can anything be done with the standard TVR springs to soften the ride a bit? I'm going to be using my T350 as an "everyday car" now and frankly my daily drive is via some appalingly surfaced roads - I'm sure the filings in my teeth are working loose.

Nitrons sound good and Joospeed is not far from me

Is there an element of adjustability with the Nitrons or do you just have to pick a spring/damper combo that suits your overall needs? Was thinking that I could have a softer rider for everyday use and then get them tweaked for track days.

Anyone?

With Nitrons you hve control over damping, so yes you have good flexibility.

I had them on my elise and the difference between hard and soft setting swas night and day.

Infact, IMHO the damper settings vary the ride a lot more than the spring strength..I had 400lB rears and 325lB fronts on the elis and it was enver too hard unless I wound up the damping.

Would love some nitrons...hmmm...

ordered the nitrons today...should be here in a week or so - I'll report back.

grounded the front spoiler tody and split all the fibre galss...

Oh man, bad news. Hope the damage is not too bad.

Good news on the shocks though. Are you going through JooSpeed? Definitely report back, i'd be really interested to hear how different they are.

cheers Neil.

I'll be fitting / setting up myself...I run an independant Lotus outfit so have all the necessaries.

Damage ios nothing noticeable really...just the front splitter underneath..cant believe where it happened..just the smallest little dip at work....just annoying more than anything else..bit of gelcoat and black paint will sort it.
