EDIT: Forgot to mention. I've been running a really crude M03 the past few days and it's absolutely magic compared to my M05. The only alloy on the car is the old style TL01/M03 steering knuckles. Everything else is plastic, right down to the dampers. Here's the part i don't understand completely. I'm running a fairly loose ball diff and I'm actually staying closer to the cars with oil filled diffs and spools than I could with any car I had equipped with the same stuff. I'm generally lucky to be in the bottom of the A, but I seem to be in the running with this little beast. As much as anything else, I think it may just be that the car is much easier to drive well. Damn you, Tony Gray and your timeless mini wisdom and insight!
I always believe that the minis seem to get better as they get older and looser, like they've 'settled' down a bit? My new M05 was unpredictable for months, I could not seem to make it work. Admittedly I've made changes but it seems to have 'settled' down into an M03 pestering racer.
