Well done Dave. Always loved Tuscans. Nearly bought one on several occasions.
Will make a great drift car once you've sort the suspension. I've heard it should do 58 secs at KH.

I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's.

I see no reason why he'd want to take it on KH Mass...Modena Scotland wrote:Well done Dave. Always loved Tuscans. Nearly bought one on several occasions.

Yeh Tony, I got it from Tony at HHC, same place as you got the 7 from.
Mass, I think after running 2 x sevens that anything else on track would be a bit of a disapointment, so not intending to track this one, its certainly got the go, but even with the upgraded Tuscan S dampers I dont think it would be anywhere near the fun of a 7.
Scotty, Zolder is the beginning of June, not sure what the TVRCC are like with other makes of cars attending, but worth asking if you are looking to get some track time before the racing?
I dont know if I could realistically make it.
Cheers for the positive comments guys.

It's not a track or drift car... You don't track (or drift) the diablo or the etype or the x5 or whatever your daily is for the very same reason

Re: Bought another Lotus..............................(NLC!)
I have a mate who used to track his Tuscan often at KH. It went well, much better than the Diablo. All he needed was to change the suspension/brake pads etc. Much more reliable than expected. With the right set up, I think the Tuscan would make a great drift car, not that I am expecting Dave to do so.
It's just that I was once thinking of buying a Tuscan to create a drift car

Of course, T350 crossed my mind but no...I'm after a V8 next but with a 4.2
