Now I think about it, the 5 with 200k probably feels simular to the 4 when I had a diff with ~150k in it, but saying that I thought the 4 felt too heavy in action like that, and so does the 5 with 200k.
Back in the 4 thread I remember Jason commenting/recommending lighter front diff oil as I think he ran 80k in the front at last years Qlds, may need to go find if I remembered that right.
Although if I'd just listen to Trev, it's likely I'm still just not getting off the throttle soon enough, but damn it I still want to get 'into' those corners faster.
(And I know the Photon does it, so why can't the Mugen)
