No idea what box is in an espace, let alone its ratios.
a decent box is going to cost you £300-£400 anyway so im not sure its really worth doing, it wont make that much difference. If your box was broke then it'd be the way to go

Dave is piggy backing the stock ecu so makes it easier for him

Friday 17th December 2010 - A Wintry Brands Hatch
As a replacement for the track day that was snowed off at Bedford back in February, we had a place booked at Brands Hatch. The weather forecast was for sunny skies but a cold day. We left Burpspeed HQ very early and made our way down the...
Just get a key made at the local key cutters. Should be about £30 with transponder programmed. Wont have the plip but if its just a spare it will be fine.
