Insurance for 4.27 diff mod

I've been running a 24v with a 4.27 diff now for three years plus
the insurance companies i've been with dont increase the premium for this as "its a part off a lower performance model" despite the increase in performance it gives 
Hope thats of use to anyone thinking about doing it

lol ive never had it at top speed but i'm reliably informed it will still hit the limiter 
my mpg is probably down around 18-20 now compared with 25
Motorway driving is the killer, it sits 1000 rpm higher now for the same speed than it did before.
In a standard 24v it sits around 2500 rpm at 70
now it sits at 3500 rpm at 70
but i reckon around town its actually better on fuel.
BUT i didnt do it for fuel consumption
I can stay with my pals Porsche Boxster from a standing start
However if you ever get it in your mini i think you'll leave everything standing!!

Yep, your 2.3 diff is a 3.91
the 2.0 16v diff is 4.27 so it wouldn't make as much difference as it does in the 24v but it would make a difference

My cossie's thirst for fuel is making me cry blood already ! - i've done £30 worth just this weekend (although i think its more to do with the £1.03 a litre than the car  )
