yes alot of difference compared to the VTS one. dont think it knocks much off top end. its very rapid through the gears. hard to stop it spinning.

got mine from 106 rallye register, not gonna be cheap, also dont know what condition its gonna be in, when i got mine the guy said it was mint, and was better than the box in his car.
His box must have been shagged cos this one would crunch into second and was whining.

You won't want an S1 mate if you're going to charge your Saxo. The stock gearbox will be just fine.

am i correct in thinking that an S1 gearbox on a vts creates a slower top speed than the vts box?
also, is it possible to put a vts 5th gear on to stretch it out at all?!?!

yeah the s1 box will have a smaller terminal speed in 5th.
But that doesn't matter, unless you race autobahn..!

yeah, dont really need a massive top end, just the longer gear would make it better for motorway driving i think.

fair point,
but if your building some track slag mate, you want it to be quick.
Quick cars arent good on fuel.
