Welding the diff
 
I don't think I can afford an LSD because I need to change the clutch soon

So did anyone chose to weld the diff? I know a good shop that welds for drifters and he guarantees his work and I'm gonna get the 4.08 gears also so is there something I should be aware of like noise, rise in temp ...ext.

Increased tire wear, taking low speed turns your tires will scrub and people will think your chirping tires on purpose while parking, not the best for handling.

If its your daily just save for a proper LSD.

not really street drivable with a welded diff.

Great way to snap shafts and completely impractical for DD.

impractical in a race car also! unless your just going to the drag strip. if the road has any moisture on it you can forget about going around turns.

A lot of S-chassis do it in my area but it's honestly pointless unless your gonna only use the car to drift.. But even for drifting its not great.

I've heard of Jeep guys doing this but for a car. NO! That's crazy.

worst idea ever

People do that?

B.A.Q 08-30-2011 02:48 AM

lol, I've seen a couple 350 owners do that and it's gonna be the same as 2way LSD I think connects while on the gas and off the gas

But I think 2 way is not really drivable on the streets. gonna wait for an LSD I guess

What's your main use of the car? I find that I want a lot of things, but most are impractical when they're only used of 0.05% of the driving I'm doing with the car. It's hard to justify a lot of race/track-related things in a car that's primarily daily driven.

But...welding the diff is an easy one. Don't.

vin diesel would definitely do it
