is it worth getting another gearbox for my car? its got only four gears atm which i'm a little disappointed about, though considering it cant even reach a ton (its a 1.2i merit+) i dunno if there is any need for more... can a new 5 gear gearbox increase top speed a little?

also, that 10k boost thing, whats it do? looks like a con to me, a bit like go faster stripes :)

I'd guess that your top speed is limited by power, not the ratio of the highest gear. A close ratio five speed box will however probably help you get up to speed quicker by keeping your revs closer to your power band, so acceleration will be improved.

**Why take 16V's onto the track when u can use 8?**

I used 10K boost on my GTE a couple of months ago. I used the 2 can pack. Whilst using it, my exhaust chucked out loads of bluey dark smoke, which i suppose was the carbon deposits it was trying to get rid of. Once i'd finished with both cans I took it for a drive. General driving didn't seem any different, but once I put my foot down I noticed it reached the redline far smoother. I had a little flat spot in the rev range before, but it seemed to sort it out. So I think it's good stuff. My car has quite high miles, so maybe it that effects it, also being a 1.6.
I personally would reccomend it, but that's just my opinion.

Go faster stripes aren't a con, they're the best mod on my car ;)
