48K and still going strong
Discussion
T350C RR just past the 48,000 mile mark. Just been through its 12k service at SFR Engineering and all is well bar a minor leak from the steering wrack top end fine all clearances fine. Just thought i'd share this with PH.
Shane at SFR was a sound guy and i will be taking it there from now on.
He was saying that he used to build the tvr's at the factory and he said it seems that if you have it fully blueprinted from new even with the extra power from the RR conversion it benefits you in the long run.

I thought yours has been top end rebuilt during the 48k its covered.
How many miles since then is the relevent reading
Yes but what about....
Pistons/rings
big/small ends/crank
gearbox/linkages
suspension/dampers
driveshafts
The fact its been rebuilt not that conclusive really coz i've seen rebuilt engines needing rebuild again in 10k and in some cases 3 rebuild by 25k. I was just trying to bring some joy to fellow sp6 owners and trying to prove there are some good engines out there.

A good engine being one that can do 40 odd thousand & one need rebuilding once ? Don't get me wrong, I know what you're saying, but its hardly time to start shouting from the rooftops is it.
Well it is for us. He's only shouting from the rooftops in our neighbourhood though - not on the general forums

Correct me if i'm wrong but i have the highest milleage T350c RR on here so i'll keep you posted on my miles to lift some of the doom n gloom on here.

Why do you want to try and prove there are some (lots) of good engines out there. Anybody who knows what they are talking about knows that. Its the nob jockeys who drive them without care that need rebuilding ?

I don't know...... you try and put a remotely positve post on here and theres always someone to knock you down.
Unless you've done 500 miles in the last 24hrs I'm still ahead of you on the mileage front, just.
No engine rebuilds.
Planning on selling it before Christmas though so I might ease off on the miles, try to keep it below 54k. So the record may be yours soon.
Unless there is another pan-galactic mileage one out there.
