if you were planning to do a fairly good powered xe (200bhp+) what gearbox would you put on it?
some people say f20 but then heard of diff problems
some say f16 for acceleration but they are weaker than f20
and finally someone said an f28
what would you use if you did a fair bit of motorway driving but you want it to pretty good for some drag days?
not doing it but want to try and end a row between friends

f20 with and f18w final drive in it and a quaife lsd
reason-
F20s are pretty stong in general, never hear of many, if any going wrong in corsas with xe's or lets.
and an f18w final drive as it will keep the revs down alot on the motorways. and with that final drive it is better than having the 6 gears on an f28
and quaife lsd to stop wheelspin and for better handling in the bends

how much would an lsd set you back roughly?
what are the f18ws fitted to?
