1989 Ford Telstar TX5 Turbo

That's pretty cool Wraith, I like looking at anything tx5/mx6. Any plans for the car in the near future?

It's just the toy Plans are in the next year for a LSD and clutch + flywheel. Trying to drive it as little as possible as the box itself is strong but the spider gears in the diff aren't

Just realised yours is auto. Be careful. Even stock the autos lunch themselves.

Yeah definitely, I read that the turbo auto is 'strengthened' but it really get's driven lovingly

Nope auto is bog stock. Manual like mine has the stronger box then the N/A equivalent. The autos weren't built to handle the torque.

Stockies - Naturally, of course
Wraith - Well that's a downer :|

Hey Wraith your the exhaust guru yeah? Not sure if I've asked before but would there be any advantage of getting pacemakers for my 202 in terms of note over the stock extractors?

Edit: whoops wrong thread disregard

Just keep an eye on the fluid. Don't do too many burnouts and you should be ok. Once you turn up the boost though it gets tricky. Seems to be a luck of the draw really how much the gearboxes can take.
