T5's do last well if the cars got grip, its the vibrations cause from wheelspin that breaks then I think, I never had a prob on mine and I know Mick Roger's ran a number of 10.5's on a stock T5, also rememeber Davi's escort is a little lighter than the average saph or 3door. Anyway its great to see how davi's car has developed since it first came out in the SRS series.
