Got a Bernie box in my S2 and I cannot fault it even with my slightly heavy handed driving style.

We just got another box off him for my brothers 200bhp FRST and I shall be ordering one up as well for my own FRST when my box lets go.

They are simpley the Dogs Bollocks and Bernie is a top guy to do business with

I am running a Stage 2 Plus gearbox from CTS (Gearboxman).

It has shot peened and polished S2 ratios on a new mainshaft with largder bearings and a Quaife ATB diff. I haven't run the projected power output through it yet (it's only about 180/190 ish at the moment).

Cost just over £1300 IIRC...
