And The T5 Went F****** Bang!

[Ryan]

Well Gents and Ladies,

after 18 months there abouts, the T5 in the Jaffa Finally had enough and gave up the ghost and destroyed itself at 100 km/hr in 4th gear, on the F6 heading into Wollongong on Sunday night, damm scary moment.

Much waiting for a flat bed & the tow home, ensued and eventually it was returned home, making noises like a concrete mixer full of bolts and nuts

pictures of the said damage will be up on friday when the new box is in and the old one is striped for scrap new box is going in, annoying but almost expected!

About time that thing let go! hahaha

What are you putting in mate? T56?

[Buf-Phoon]

what sort of power are you running ?

[mercuryturbo]

You've had a pretty good run out of it Ryan, 300+ at the treads & its only just shat itself.

[Buf-Phoon]

wow , that's amazing

[Ryan]

Yeah kinda was a time bomb before it went

Buf - twas/is running 304rwkw with way more to come, still on stock injectors haha

Pat, nope mate no T56, putting a T5 back in, low miles on it.

I want to see how much can be had out of a T5, considering its been 18 mths at 300rwkw, maybe should aim for 400 haha ???

plus I will have the old box to "tickle" also if the newey give up later on
