I was bored today so went for a drive in a 197, it was the new cup, Must say i loved it fantastic handeling and the feel of the thing is great. It does lack the grunt of the meggy but i now understand why people like them. On the twistys not loads would touch it.

would be perfect if the clio 197 got the LSD from the meg, the R26 is unstopable with the diff in most cases its impossible to understeer its usually the back end that goes, although on really tight bends it does feel a bit heafty and slows in corners with its silly 18" x 8 wheels.
clio 197 + lsd = perfect.

after driving the 197 a fair bit recently I don't think it needs LSD. I do like the LSD but when it snaps it can go very wrong.

nah, its fun ive never felt anything like it when your all over the road fully booting it just comedy as the diff tracks the line of the road its like letting a wild bull out of the stalls :D
also you can lean around the bends and have almost an armfull of lock and its just going round the corner as the power is on the right wheel and slip is allowed on the other no understeer just a almost about to snap back end lol, ive had a few unexpected drifts around empty roundabouts where im doing a controlled 4 wheel slide muahah it feels a bit like a 4wd drift in those moments although with less ultimate control.
the diff makes the car so much fun its all any FWD saloon, hatch needs in honesty to turn it into as good as any classic non LDS fwd hatch.. a good lsd,atb and some decent sporty tyres. although i cant accelarate hard with one hand on the wheel as it would put me in a hedge :(
frisky car dont you think :)
All I will say is wait till someone fits the Quaife ATB Diff in an RS meg!!!!
Not sure an R26 will touch it?
I will be fitting one with an R26 Suspension which I already have on order!!
