OK I guess I will have to try this when I pick up the 2nd hand one during week (to be used as a wet weather car).
Does seem strange that all the set ups here (in UK) and the kit recommendations are saying to run the diffs low front and rear, which according to those here (in this forum) would give low grip?

I recently moved to Schumacher as it was impossible to obtain Cyclone parts here anymore, yet on the cyclone we ran diffs higher by placing 1mm shims between all alloy diff unit parts and chassis yet kept suspension mounts on chassis with no shims.

Guess there is a lot of differences in car set up between both which may explain why I can get this Mi4lp as quick as the Cyclone.

Will also have to look at this toe in thing up front, as the Cyclone was always toe out, and so are the setting sheets here for the Mi4lp.

High speed stability is really needed on this car going in to the banking at the end of the main straight. Not much fun having an unsteady car at speeds over 55mph in a corner.
