Well, not quite 60, but 30 miles one-way, five days a week (1200 miles/week).
I've been following the bearing thread since I'll have to swap out mains and
thrust bearings soon, glad to see not much preference in bearing suppliers.
Any other high mileage users out there want to comment on gas mileage? I'm
getting ~20 mpg on the stock motor and four speed (nominally 70 mph all of the
way in). Any one getting better? I could slow down, but don't want to get run
over!
Also, just swapped in the Falcon ss system (750 miles ago?). Anyone have a hard
time with the 'tune' coming out the back? At a constant 2500 RPM, the dB levels
in the cabin (top up mostly) are deafening (really, my ears hurt for days after
~30 minutes!). I've checked for exhaust leaks; none. The pipes aren't rubbing
anyplace. I'm stumped and have gone to wearing ear plugs. I'll take any tips
at this point!

(OK, I'm ready. To the guy out there who drives 60 miles one way to
work in his TR-6 everyday - flame away. ;-)
