beware though, the F10 from the later 1.2 8v's are just as bad as the 4speed types. very long ratios make driving a pain in the arse. I used to have one.

lots! Is yours 5speed too? A CR box means that when you change up a gear, the engine is spinning at a faster revolution in that higher gear than a car fitted with a WR box. Gives better response and acceleration and makes sure the engine is always in the peak power band t make driving easier. even though your engine is as easy to rev as a Lada Samara.

Yeh mines the 5 speed. I know why the close ratio box is better, but i was wondering how much of a difference it makes. the 'box in my mums 1.4 16v seems the same as mine.
