ive searched but was hoping for answers a bit more specific to my questions! is insurnace more on a conversion than a vts then??

Insurance really depends on the insurance company!

Some look at it as a 16v furio, or 16v vtr etc, other just look at it as a vts.

Some that look at it as a 16v vtr etc will increase your insurance but not as dramatically as the straight forward vts car.

done use 1.4 box

wait till you can afford the VTS one, gear boxes and engines are very precisely matched, mix them up and its not always a good idea.
