Hi all,

At this moment in time my tam is up with jason at str8 six having a 12 k service and m.o.t! now i have spoken to jason today and in the near future i .e this year it looks like i am going to need new shocks!! and also have a buckled front wheel!!

So,

1. what do you peeps think i should replace with... nitrons or racing reds?

2. Has any one fitted the 19inch power alloys to there tam as was thinking complete change if i am going to fix the buckle!!

3. also what your thoughts on brake upgrade to ap racing calipers / disks as well to finish the look off!!



thanks for any feed back...

Don't put 19" wheels it will make a mess of the handling, the Tam's geometry was designed for 16" wheels, 18" wheels are the max you should put on. 16" if you want a better handling car.

I'm running R/Reds on my T350 and they're a huge improvement over the old shocks, though they were starting to get a little tired.

She has performed exceptionaly, I just had a lot of cash doing nothing earning nothing in the bank so have decided to try and create the most powerful Speed 6 Tamora I can (normaly aspirated that is) with a little spring maintenance.

Anyway you have a sagaris, I'm sure you don't miss the Tam that much smile
