   hey ive been offered a S2 gearbox done approx 40,000miles for 200pounds..
   
   is this a good price?
   
   it will be going onto a standard furio, and i remember reading that S1, S2 and Xsi gearboxs will increase my acceleration and decrease my top end
   
   is this true? and will it be very noticable?
   
   thanks guys

   its quite expencive and is it a genuine 40k
   
   an S2 box is quite tall gearing, its between a vts and a vtr so i doubt you would notice any difference

   i would say find an s1 or an xsi box
   you can pick em up quite cheap (i paid 100 quid for an xsi)
   
   and youll notice the difference on a standard car let alone a tuned one
   
   (also ill put this in the transmission section)

   40 quid is a bargain for one!!
