ratios for new gear box...
right i may need a new gear box... SEE OTHER POST!
so was wandering what gear box would be suitable for a high 190 - 200bhp fiesta, but give it quicker acceleration! not bothered about 140mph+ top end, just more acceleration really!
or would a combination of lots of diff boxes give a better box? if so what from what box?

Uhhm, probably FRST or ERST (slightly longer iirc) with an LSD in mate
Escort GTi is slightly longer but you can't use a rear-mount starter, so most iB5s are out of the window for you.
Uprated BC from an RS1800/XR2i 16v will give you roughly 126mph at 6,750rpm in 5th, so that's really too short and buzzy for most people to live with.
