Another Tuscan failure ;-)

[nrick]

Took the tuscan out for a blast in the spring sun, didn't realise the pitiful state of the roads, having some fun when I hit a series of potholes close to Stroud and experienced this failure, absolutely nothing to do with the car but just a word of warning. On the upside I can do a nice 'how-to' on can removal, and had a good poke around the rear wishbones and suspension.

Ouch,, good excuse to go for some Carbon Can Company rear cans!!!

Time for some straight through end cans I think!

30mph

They were straight through, now have to put silenced ones on

Effing Gloucestershire Roads! Pothole trashed £280 worth of tyres on my Audi 2weeks ago, but you have to replace all 4 together (its a Quattro thing), total bill £1120 plus laser tracking £35. Other half hit a pothole today, so now I have to check her car over.

I dont suppose the council will help!!

I did think about contacting them but what are the chances? The roads around stroud were really bad......

A damaged curb stone buckled one of my spiders last year. I took photos of the damage and the curb stone as well as getting a letter from a local alloy repair company I know saying it was beyond repair. Council paid for a replacement wheel from TVR Power and I'm planning a nice garden ornamant for the old one

Hi Neill,
I've got a couple of the original cans available if you're looking for some. Put some Blueflame on mine the other month.
Let me know if you're interested.

Hi, just wondering where you managed to get hold of the blueflames?

Hi Andy,

I'm interested in your Tuscan S original carbon cans.

What about the condition of the cans?

Is it possible, that you send me some pictures?

best regards
MikeB.

I also have some sleeved original cans available but the sleeves(mild steel) have rusted into the cans now, you can hear the rust if you shake the can. Would be fine for a more noisy experience.
