Without significant modification the Tiger's front discs and rear drums are its biggest liability in a prolonged track dual. Fade becomes a huge problem after repeated hard braking. However, I agree that experience trumps hardware. Knowing how to take a line and how deep you can go before braking sh...

Looks like the new mark iv factory five has significant increase in driver and passenger footbox dimensions. Didn't want to crush your dream.

Some of the kits have elongated foot wells. I would be really sure before taking the plunge. The one I drove was an exact replica.

I could barely fit in the danged thing, and my clutch leg was up around my ear every shift. I'm 6'2, and it just wasn'...

I really like that motor sports series on the tiger. Old iron is fun. Just rode around in a friends stroked 3.8 litre BMW Bavaria (1972) Today. Real sleeper. Definitely not a new car though!
