T-Works mid-motor Tweak Terminator Ver.3

T-Works have introduced their new Tweak Terminator Ver.3 chassis tweak rod specially designed for the use with mid-motor cars. The carbon fibre tool was developed to remove tweak from touring car chassis by allowing to push down both the front and rear bulkheads simultaneously while tightening the upper bulkhead caps. The result is a straighter drivetrain assembly as thus less chassis tweak that can disturb proper car handling. The rod is made of high-quality carbon fibre, it features machined aluminium end caps and a machined hole in the middle section that makes way for the car’s spur gear.
