   Nope. IIRc these are slow.
   
   Get a 1.1 gear box or a VTS box, much closer ratios.
   
   Any saxo/ 106 gearbox will work.

   the ratio code is: 20CC61
   
   is that closer than the vtr box?

    Not really, I went in the car with the owner and it seemed fine. Could have been rebuild in the diesel casing was what I first thought

    Fair play mate, I think it'll be alright for you - the car didnt seem slow at all and was the 1.6 model

    The diesel boxes are the only ones that are longer than the VTR ones IIRC, so slower acceleration and higher top speed.

    if you compare it on the guide though, the top speed is the same as the VTR in fith - its only first and second that equate to different speeds - 29 in 1st diesel, 31 on VTR then 55 in second on the diesel 60 on the VTR. Also will depend on what size wheels you are running too

    Oh ya, so they are. Just 1st and 2nd are longer. Rest are all the same, as is the final drive. Hadn't actually noticed that before.
