So I got an Astra J 63plate 2.0cdti Ecoflex s/s elite

[Boroboy]

As above I have just got an ice white astra which i upgraded from a 1.4 08 astra and I'm in love however I'm just wondering am I stuck in terms of upgrading the speed of this car due to it being a 63 plate and being s/s? I mean I'm in no hurry due to only just getting the car im just wondering what my options will be when the time comes. Am I stuck to just a pedal box or are there any alternatives?

Hello,
My first post on here, so a newbee lol.
Do you have a fvsh with your motor? If so, I'd stick with vaux, as you may gain a 80% contribution to your f40 gearbox repair or replacement, even when your car is just outside manufacturers warranty. if not, I'd take it to an indy gearbox specialist. The f40 is usually reliable, compared to the m32.
I own the same type car to yours, mine being on a 63 plate too, but the auto version. I've just had my box replaced under warranty, outside the warranty period. As I registered the fault, prior to the warranty running out.
I've also in the past had a couple of m32's replaced on previous Astra J's, under warranty. I've not had much luck with gaerboxes on the J's. Although I've owned vaux's since the 80's. Never had any major box issues on previous earlier models.
