As long as you have all the tS part numbers and torque specs, you can surely order and install them to make what the tS was, sans it being an actual tS. However, I think once you look at the price of just the carbon wing, you will note you are better off finding a tS than attempting to re-build one (for now).

For the end solution as a specific deliverable, the tS like the S209, I would think it is more about all the combined details than just a few major changes.
For those still young enough with the energy.. it is possible to recreate it in the aggregate  |
Well, I understand the desirability, and thus resale value, of having a factory built tS vs. one composed of aftermarket parts. As for the carbon wing, if I was after the full feel of the tS experience that Veloist seems to want wax so poetic about, I would probably leave it off. Indeed, at the speeds we are talking about the thing is far more likely to impede rather than improve performance.
I was more interested in actual changes to an otherwise "standard" twin that actually affect performance and feel that make the tS such an alleged sublime improvement over any other "normal" twin. So I ask again - is it just suspension (including sway bars, bushings, etc.) and brakes?
