I have a 16 Titanium and the ride is firm but not bad. I have the 17" alloy wheels. Shock absorbers can also make a difference. In the past when I have changed struts and shocks the most noticeable difference was in how smooth the new shocks were. Less resistance over small bumps but more and better resistance over the bigger stuff. The normal inflation pressure on the tires is pretty high but that is due to the load rating. I would expect if you are empty or lightly loaded the pressure could be dropped a little bit. I like men the way it is as it handles very nicely and will out corner my Volt. My daughter has a Honda van and it rides and drives better until it comes to the curves. Then the TC is much better. IMO it has a very European feel, very firm but not harsh.
Couple of days ago I saw a pickup driving fast and aggressively on the interstate. Amazing the amount of suspension movement it had - not in a good way. At one point they swerved from the right land across two lanes, they had a bit of difficulty controlling the truck. Wondered if it was really bad shocks or an off road setup. 80+ in a 60 when everyone else was doing 65-70 (MPH).
What shock absorbers are you using?

I'm using a Craftsman with double-ended. One end is for locking lug nuts and the other end is for stripped lug nuts.

That's a lovely dog! Welcome aboard.

I just checked mine and no rust issues.

Cool upgrades! I'm curious about the sound of your custom exhaust.

Looks like you got everything you need. I like the shade over the doors.
-
The hp improvement that you can get from an intake is not too noticeable.
-
I can see the wires also but I'm getting used to it.

Like the setup - easy access AND still leaves the back clear for grocery shopping and such when it's folded up. Have to maybe steal a couple ideas there.
Here's where I'm at so far. Plan is to have an outside table that will attach to the side of the kitchenette and store against the front of the cabinet when travelling to keep rear vision clear. Was gonna go with a shorter table just supported by a bracket on the door, but maybe a longer one that would fold down, then slide out with legs to support it ... hmmmmm ...
A work in progress here anyway.
That's a tidy setup. Like it!

Looks great. I'm planning to upgrade the wheels on my TC also. I like the look of Ion truck wheels particularly the model 101 which are 16X6.5 et50.

Nice upgrades. The platform for dogs is definitely a good idea.
-
Mine don't have any leaks or condensation.

Old thread, but I'm curious about that custom roof rack.
-
Haven't seen one. Maybe a custom push bar is your best option.
-
Nice TC. Congrats and enjoy your new ride!
-
Tight fit but looks functional. Nice mod.

Great info. Adding footwell lighting is my next project.

Hey OP, are you done lowering the rear of your TC? Post some pics when you can.
-
Nice idea. How do you like it so far?
-
Nice modification! Having a hidden storage is definitely a good idea.

How's the cornering response of Viva 3s? My current continental tires need to be replaced soon and I'm looking for options.
