you'll no doubt help torque steer with front lower arm rear bushes changed to Powerflex black series or similar firmer options and the addition of an ATB differential like a Quaife or MFactory etc, at 390nm you won't likely resolve it but you will make a big improvement. If you have aggressive front camber it probably won't help (lower than -2.0 to -2.5)....

I have considered fitting an LSD, but I’ve been weighing up the advantages over the cost.. perhaps next year.

Will definitely looking into changing the bushes, perhaps at the same time I change the ARBs.

And yes, -2 front camber. Corners very well though..

That definitely looks lower than the previous pictures! I personally would still go lower, but I guess I just don't enjoy any wheel gap at all lol. Looks great!
Maybe on a MINI with standard arches, it can't even go 1mm lower on the rear with these wide arches, without fitting silly stiff springs. On rough roads, a bit of contact is made where the arch crosses over the tyre. :rolleyes: Plus, I kinda like being able to go over speed bumps :p

I think I'd lift it rather than have high speed compression fouling, it does look tidy and still would a little taller no problem

upgrading bar's'? I'd hope that means reducing the front or removing it, aware some larger bar options exist but you don't need that at the front,

the diff will transform the car, with both I'm sure you'd never look back, it'd be the best ~£1500 spent quite possibly, other than if converting the final drive😁

I'd quite like one of these I have to say, always liked the look,

only a matter of time before someone does a slightly wider body conversion, they'd carry it off rather well I think

Yeah that is totally fair, and probably the mentality I should take. I think I must have missed that you had wide arches as well, probably since they are color matched. Am following on here and IG, definitely love this car!
 
nice isn't it, I'd run one, if there's headroom haha, I think all MCS's look good in Pepper white anyway really, mods haven't taken this too far like some cars
