   yes vts will fit and will give better acceleration due to shorter ratios. not sure about the ax box tbh.

   all boxs are the same on ax/saxo etc, the ax GT box unless its from a mk2 box will be crap as they changed the design from 1991.
   
   Best to get the 1.1 or VTS box.

   Ratty thats crawl! can you imagine the revs at 70mhp down the motorway if he has a 1.1 box in!! the thing would do more fuel than a GT40!! LMBO! © sax-p

   why would it drink more fuel the ratios are nearlky identical. at 3500 on both boxes in fifht on the 1.1 your doing ~68mp and on the vts box ~69mph.
