Interesting. As I say I haven't really pushed on as of yet so perhaps my opinion will change then!

It'll defo be better that's for sure. It's just a plated one is like full on rip your face off territory.
Plated also goes against the intention of the car too, so I fully support your decision.

I think that's what I was expecting, a full on race car this is awkward to drive at slow speed kind of thing.
As I say I have barely driven the car so I am only basing my thoughts of maybe 5 minutes of driving? But I will say that my inital impression of the car is that the diff reminded me of the Mk8 Fez St I had with the performance pack with the optional Quiafe diff.

Essentially, that's what you've fitted. So it makes sense that you draw that comparison. It's like the diff in the Megane, you didn't really know it was there.

Too busy this week to do full a write up but blyton park on saturday was a good time as always!
Good to see the Burrells again (@EthanMenace and @burrellbloke)
The diff worked and has improved the car and direzza's are by far the best tyres I have ever driven on for trackdays. Overall the car felt much quicker than it has previously on track though I don't time so its all down to memory and feel. I've started to use 5th on some sections of the track due to running out revs and buzzing the limiter in 4th so I would call that win.
Here are some photos of the day:
Air France flight 197 now taking off from RAF Blyton
You can tell i've been playing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater recently I think !
Had a mates go pro in the car again and will uploaded to the footage to youtube when I have it (really need my own now I know).
Though I do have footage from some cock ups I made through the day!

The spins a little embarrassing as I had caught my mate bean up in within two laps and passed him then proceeded to do that. I suspect its from a lack of concentration on my part. Same with Cone Killer.
