   the ups are it would be very rapid off the mark!.
   the downs are you might lose some top end speed and they are very hard to get hold of!>

   if you do a lot of motorway commuting i wouldnt go for the rallye box your looking at over 4000rpm at a 70mph cruise

    then it wasnt a rallye box they had... in a VTR it will top out at 110mph, thats bouncing off the limiter by the way... they proberly had an XSI 1.4 box thats a lil longer. Trust me ive just removed my box 106rallye box & replaced it with the VTR original.

    yeah thats what i had in mine! it hits the limited dead on 110mph! no more at all physically wont do it! he must of had an xsi box its pritty much the same thing TBH.
    
    its great fun with civic typeRs & ST170s, clio sports etc etc...!
    
    
    
    do it, but be aware that driveshafts & diffs will be eated fast!! i needed 2 new drife shafts & blew the diff in teh gearbox proberly due to the torque...
