Hi All I've had my TF for a couple of years love it to bits but there are a few things I'd like to sort if possible mainly the front end grip as the speed goes up the front end feels like its getting lighter anybody got any fixes for how to make it feel as if its not actually lift off the road. Any advice would be great. Cheers Chris

Hi Chris The front end of the F was well known for getting light at speed. This was partly cured on the F Trophy with its front splitter and made a little better still on the TF. There is still has a slight tendency to lift at seriously illegal speeds on motorway bends but its not really perceived as a problem. Certainly on track its not an issue. Some have fitted the K&H splitter below the TF splitter but watch out for speed humps. If you are really, really serious about curing it think about reversing the flow from the radiator to come out of vents in the bonnet instead of under the car - like an Elise.

An alternative splitter for the pre-05MY TFs is the XPower one, as fitted to the TF coupe. I think that we still have one in stock.
