a 1.2 won't be very much faster with an sr box in it..... it is a wide ratio box with a lower diff. the top speed will be about the same

what are you looking for? quick accelleration? high top end speed?
The best gearbox utilises the engines power correctly, who care how may gears it has?

Unscrew the nuts at the top on the inside,then lever it ouff with something not sharp but strong.I used a glazing spade and had mine off in 10minutes

Bonding adhesive and double sided tape,mine was a wrap around spoiler so a gsi/sri mk2 item will take no time at all
