Just a random thought going through my head:
Back in my Saxo days - it was really common for the track boys / road hoons to fit a 1.1 gearbox etc with lower ratio's into a hotted up VTR / VTS to make it a little more fun on Track / on B-road blasts. All of them were made of cheese and it was just a matter of course to replace it every XXXXX miles whatever you were using.
Is this even possible on a 197 / 200 ? ie: Would a 1.2 / 1.4 / 1.6 box even fit ?
Are the RS box's beefed up especially ?
Is it even worth doing because they have 6 gears ? (On shorter, tighter tracks such as Cadwell (?)....do these cars even really need or use 6th gear ?)
Im just imagining 200 odd bhp - in a lightened car, and geared to do maybe 130mph max on the limiter would make a seriously fun weapon..........
