It is a bit of jump from the Swift, I had quite a few quickish cars before the Swift but that was over 3 years ago. Its good to be back in something with some power. The Swift was a great car though!

Yeah ill keep my eye out for your mini too, had a few cooper s's in the past and really enjoyed them!

That sounds quick - how did the clutch hold up?

I have got some just not fitted yet! Done the interior lights with white LEDs

I drove my dads r26 with the diff and it did make the front end feel very positive, but this car definitely doesn't feel to be lacking grip and it still has a great chassis. Looking forward to doing a Nurburgring trip / track day early next year!

Thanks, short plate I have had for years so have become used to it, know what you mean though sometimes I'm not sure - more of a tradition for me though!

Had the car since November now, getting used to it too. So far so good, it really highlights how slippy the roads are - yes you miss the diff but it still finds an amazing amounts of grip and is a perfect blend for me of ride comfort when you want it and fun too! megane_2 by playtoymotorsport...

I used to have a 2004 mcs (pre facelift), after a remap (7200 rpm limit) it would read 74 in second gear on the digital speed readout!

Fair enough, I thought that until I drove one without a diff, more than happy with it! Didn't think there would be much love for it on here ;)

I'm surprised at how refined it is running around day to day yet how it turns into a nutter once you give it some beans!

Fair enough, I enjoy how it drives without the lsd still, ideal spec for me would be non cup suspension with lsd - not really found it lacking in front end grip as of yet though!

I can imagine - it surprises me how much grip it has in the wet even without the diff, also at the lack of any torque steer! Thats interesting... have you remapped yours?

I chose deliberately not to have the cup pack, wanted ride quality over ultimate handling, no doubt they handle better with cup, but its so rare that I drive it to that level that a diff would be of benefit. Still is a cracking car without it.

After just over 3 years with the Swift Sport, I finally decided on a change so have bought a Megane 250 - people on here will probably question why I went for a none cup car, but I really fancied something which went well, rode nicely and looked less shouty so this seemed to fit the bill. Yes...

Finally decided to get a new car, I now have a Megane 250 waiting in the garage once I sell this, hopefully it will go soon but if anyone is interested its cheap! :)
