If your running an F20. drive it carefully and keep it standard. If your upping the power I wouldn't bother mate.. I destroyed an F20 in a standard LET Corsa.

Do it right and put an F28 in.

Do as Col said, extra gear is better for the motorway also

yeh the gearboxes are more expensive but they will last. saves changing the box when it goes boom

sure the f28 has the same gears as a f20? seen many clets running 250bhp + using f18/f20 boxs with no problems, If your going down the let route its best to read up and learn all about them

My F20 was fine and to my knowledge still is fine with the current owner. I would recommend if you are going for big power to go with F28 though, plus it needs that 6th gear on the Mway

f28s are 300 a shot were as a f20 is 30ish quid a shot 6th gear doesn't make that much of a difference to be honest
