i'm fitting 18" on my corsa B and i am wanting to get a better gearbox for acceleration. Which one would be best. The car is a 1.4 8v SPI with a F13 gearbox at the mo.

agreed ^^^^

either go for looks (ie 18" and bodystyle) or performance (ie stick to 15/16's)

i have a 1.4 sri MPI and its not worth moddin it with performance (just an zhorst and induction well do)

whack on some nice 17's matey
