where to buy a new s1 rallybox

[johnlambert]

the title says it all folks
need a brand new one for my vts conversion
thanks:hug:

[pjm300]

you'll be lucky.

only way to do it is to get a second hand one and refurb it

[johnlambert]

can ya not buy em online?

[pjm300]

havent seen anywhere to buy one.

but if you want to ask, phone up peugeot, and see if they can get one.

however i wouldnt expect much change from 1500 quid

[Ryan]

why do you need a new one? A refurbed one is cheaper and will be basically the same lol

[fergy7197]

whats the advantage over the normal vts box? closer ratos?

Basically yeah, closer ratios = faster acceleration, but your top speed wont be as high.

[pjm300]

shorter final drive, ratios are the same

[fergy7197]

i think the ratios in my vts arent that bad, close enough IMO

[JamesR]

shorter final drive, ratios are the same

I thought they where all shorter? :wacko:

What about a XSI box? or S2 rallye box?

[johnlambert]

ok well my plan is to get a 106 gti engine into my westy..
i jus wanna know the best gearbox needed or will the 106 gearbox be enough??

All same gear cluster with different final drives.

There is no all for one best box.

Depends on what you want/use the car for. No point in fitting an S1 box if you drive 50miles each way to work each day on the motorway for example

Tried rallye register?

you fail.

Ratio's are the same, tis the final drives that are different.

[frankie]

there was one on there but wanted something like 170 bob....

got me an xsi box off there for £50 though :cool:

[Steve]

What about a XSI box? or S2 rallye box?

1.4 xsi box ratios are the same
1.6xsi / s2 rallye box ratios are the same

its the final drives that are different.



As ryan already said

[Bickerton]

Whats the going rate on getting a gearbox reconned?

[johnlambert]

so i "dont need" one as such then as im using the car for normal driving

[Ryan]

Around £3-400 inc new bearings/seals/synchros. Some places will be cheaper, some more expensive.

Vts/gti box is fine.

Who told you that you needed one?

[Bickerton]

Handy for traffic light drag racing, thats about all imo if you just using it for the road

[johnlambert]

nah no one was just enquiring about it thats all
thanks
