Aussie about to buy TVR T350c ....
Discussion
Hi all ... in the general gassing section I posted how I was thinking of buying a T350 here in Australia ...
check my profile ... been a keen Lotus man for awhile ... seen the good and the bad .... so not toooooo scared of the speed 6 ... although the horror stories do rattle the brain a bit ...
questions
1. foot rest beside clutch .. has anyone made one ?
2. speedo ... I know you guys are mph ... but has anyone made a stick on version to change it to km/h ?
3. is there a list of OE swap over parts - thinking brake rotors / mirrors / ... errr sensors ... relays etc all come from the big parts bin with another marque on the side ... am I wrong .... does the list exist ... where can i get hold of it ..
4. what are the "updates" you guys have done to improve (fix what the factory didnt develop) to the T350 (expect a lot of links to previous posts advising how to retro fit Calbra sun visors to the rear hatch to stop neck sunburn etc )
hears to some fun discussions
talk soon

2) Not that I am aware of (apart from the tuscan) BUT you can switch the digital speedo to Kph. I guess you could re-calibrate it. There are plenty of T-Cars out in Europe, I am sure they can advise on this.
3) No need, original TVR parts can now be sourced (www.TVR-PARTS.com). The bits stolen from other manufactures part bins is diverse, you are better asking as the need arrises or search the forums
4) I have a Tam not a T350 so can't help with this

1, No room and you wont have time to rest anything
2, I don't use the analogue speedo and the digital readout is switchable to kmph .
3, T cars are mostly TVR not parts bin .
4, Its a good car out of the box , you really don't need to mod anything . Many do but that's up to them .
Have you driven one ?

That footrest looks good.
Had a look on the ACS pro website. http://www.acs-pro.de/index.html
It's not advertised. Was it a special order item ?

Isn't there are TVR service shop near the Star Bar/ Port Melb? area..used to be when i lived there.
Yes ... Tried contacting them a few times .. But info from other TVR folk is they are more for older TVR ... Not speed 6 knowledgable .... Still trying to ask them as well Hi Gavin,
Which T350 is it? The black one at Driven? It looks to be in very nice condition. I've heard the Tuscan seats in it are a bit marmite but not sure on that myself.
I've got a T-car in Sydney that I brought over from the UK with me.
I've also got a whole bunch of spares like coil packs, plugs, lamdas, throttle pots and other bits and pieces 'just in case' which I could help you out with if you need it.
You can also get any parts over from the UK within a week.
Can't recommend any workshops in Melbourne, sorry. But any other questions feel free to ask.
The A/C works but isn't awesome. On a hot day the cooling system might be at the edge of its capacity. While I haven't had any overheating under normal conditions, it constantly lives at 92-97 degrees, it seems to get quite toasty when driven hard (not that you can in Vic ) or on track days. I've just bought some high flow cooling fans that I'm going to try out.
Mines been reliable and trouble free since I got it, but then so have all my Alfa's, so maybe I'm just lucky.
