I threw a perfectly good one away 2 months ago otherwise you could have had it.

The last one I got was one they had already taken off in the scrapy, its ######ed now so im pretty sure it must have been a high milage one. Thats why i'm asking you guys.

Gutted, I had a one with 24K on about a year and a halfd ago but I got rid of that one too


Anyone else?

what about a long ratio 5 spd box?

Had one of those at one point, pretty pointless on a 1L in my opinion. was doin 65 max on the motorway with my foot right down. Not enough power in the thing.

the cars doing 300 miles to a tank with the 4 speed box and will easily do 80/85mph on the flat now.

(of course i only know this because I tested it on my private road)

Long ratio box is the same as the 4 speed, but with an extra gear. If you want the same driving experience, just drive it around in 4th gear.
