   yes you can fit a 1.1 box but i would say your best bet would be to fit a peugeot 106 rallye gearbox. thanks

   All saxo/106 boxes fit 1.1 wouldn't be much different and they're a weeker box, only boxes worth fitting I'd say would be a rallye or xsi if you can source one

   The VTS box is very similar ratio's to the 1.1 box.
   
   So not much point..
   
   Although i've got a 1.1 on my vts, but that's because I couldn't get the S box in time..

   No they are a lot different. The difference is in the final drive hence why the 1.1 box is quicker.
   
   S1 rallye box is rubbish - way to short, spin the wheels in first and second then top out at 110. Good out of a roundabout though. rubbish on track too, people hit the limiter on the straights!
   
   VTS is ok, but dampened my VTS too much. i'd go for a 1.1 everytime. much better kick at 4k plus you get the top end as well.

    Ahh, I didn't really pay attention to the final drive, just know that they are similar speed's on the limiter in each gear.
    
    Is fun with the 1.1 box and 16v!
