    i think i sense a engine rebuild required.
    a couple of band aids plasters and the block and oil pan will be ok to reuse.

    nice one, how did he mange to get second instead of 4th? at 200k, the engine would have been trying to do well over 10,000rpm, why was he changing to 4th at that speed?

    Seems he must have went into 4th lol.... When in 5th at those speeds my revs are hovering around 6,000 on a autobox ... Thats Not far from rev limiter

    200 in 5th in auto would be a bit under 5k? and about 5200-5400 in manual i think, cant remember what its at at 100, i think 4th will get over 170 i think, if you take it to redline, although i havent been that fast in a while ( i mean, i dont speed lol)

    Ah, so it's not a "failure", it's the driver being a plonker

    when i said over 170 in 4th, i really was wrong lol, doing 1800rpm in 4th at 50k, that would be 7200 at 200k, so 195 at 7k, although with the pidly turbos, i dont think you would actually get there in 4th lol
