What gearbox is on the 1.4 8v sri?
I have a f13 box and hoping to put it in my sri if it will give better torque
Advisable?

Changing the gearbox won't alter the torque of the engine at all.

I'm pretty sure it should give better accelleration, but use higher revs on motorway.
Someone should clarify if thats wrong.
