Bet it didn’t have a full service history...

 

Those pesky top mounts dont like prolonged high speed runs, if he had a front mount he may well of escaped :-)

 

My Hawkeye happily did silly things like that on long ermm driveways. My classic 115 ish and it’s done lol

don’t know if this link will work , but based on above intercooler being the wrong type i could not resist 😁

 

Wouldn’t the top mount just heatsoak & push the IAT up?

Shouldn’t cause it to blow up, should it?

Yes, it does and will kill the engine through increased IAT.

 

Also, it was the cops doing 137mph. Not the scoob LOL

 

cops could not keep up , based on it probably being a 3 litre diesel of some type then the scooby has done well , it’s probably a 2 litre engine on high miles with a lack of servicing , yes a top mount will increase iat but many a scooby has done track days and come out fine , higher speed more airflow , even so it will have an impact but not that much in my opinion , i was hitting over 160 mph for most of a day on track with no issues

 

Sustained high speed kills subaru engines with TMIC.

 

Lol
