Well... Shit.

Well friends... I finally got my t5 swap done last weekend, it it drives like a total dream. I was driving it around 9:45pm tonight, and since I had finally broken in the rebuilt motor, I decided to give it some beans...

It sounded like I was at about 5000-6000 rpm when the rearmost exhaust side freeze plug declared it's independence. Of course, I promptly smelled burning coolant and noticed my temp Guage climbing faster than a mountain goat.

Phone died so I had to flag someone down to borrow theirs, but I eventually got it home about 1.5 hrs after it broke down. Anyway, moral of the story is, if your brick is a brat who likes to break all the time, just remember there's always a bigger basket case out there, so keep your head up 👍
