dawesy1700 Posted November 13, 2009 Report Posted November 13, 2009 anyone got one? are they a strong enough box for a 120bhp xflow? i cant afford a type 9 just yet so thought this may be a good chioce for now? any words of advice please?
bomber1 Posted November 13, 2009 Report Posted November 13, 2009 £50 upwards doubt u would get a sport box any cheaper
antz Posted November 13, 2009 Report Posted November 13, 2009 mine cost me £70 from G.S.ESCORTS and I had to wait a while for one to come in as they arent too common
escort new boy Posted November 13, 2009 Report Posted November 13, 2009 mine cost me £70 from G.S.ESCORTS and I had to wait a while for one to come in as they arent too common if i had a pound for everytime you mentiond gs escorts id be a rich man
macjam Posted November 13, 2009 Report Posted November 13, 2009 Ooooopppsss !!!! Gave 2 away last year. along with a brand new 1.6 x/flow including sport head.

James HPE Motorsport Posted November 13, 2009 Report Posted November 13, 2009 1300 gearboxes are more common but even they wont be alot cheaper than a type 9 i wouldnt have thought! Any of the gearboxes should be ok on the road, just depends how much stick your going to give it off the lights!!!

And when people say WHERE DO I GET THIS FROM then Im not exactly going to recommend Burton Power am I? And as for Boggs.....Up here there are no other tuners, they are well respected, do a good job, and not everyone has heard of talk of the speed or whatever you call your tuners down south. Jesus christ, I say something good to help people and you still have to have a dig. please for us all, can you concrntrate on getting a life and having other hobbies than making time in your day to make smart arse comments abouts me?
dawesy1700 Posted November 15, 2009 Author Report Posted November 15, 2009 cool, well thanks for the heads up lads, i was mainly asking because i've heard a few peeps say they're pretty weak and the layshaft bearings always go, but i like fiddling when things break,
tom28 Posted November 15, 2009 Report Posted November 15, 2009 good advice ant, don't let people get to ya, theres bound to be the odd arsehole here n there its life lol
H.P.E harry Posted November 15, 2009 Report Posted November 15, 2009 As james had said 1600 boxes are no stronger than 1300 boxes, go for the cheaper one of the two

5hane Posted November 20, 2009 Report Posted November 20, 2009 Calm down mate He is right though, Anyway, If i were you mate i would look out for a 2000e box iirc there much stronger

Calm down mate i'm on antz's side here, was your comment really necessary in the first place mate. go by the old addage, if you have nothing nice to say don't say it at all
mk14dr Posted November 20, 2009 Report Posted November 20, 2009 I managed to trash 2nd on a 1600sport box with a 100ish bhp xflow. That was on budget 165's aswell. Infact the 4sp thats in now is making some shocking noises in 4th, maybe time for 5 cogs.... I can also highly recommend GS, Ive had plenty of parts and advice from Graeme.
