It performs much like the search button. Locks up great and sends you to a hella good results. SEARCHHHHHH...Its been covered just last week.

Welded diffs are stronger than a LSD the Problem is unless the car is gonna be track used only u will be replacing tires all the time due to accidental spinning and uneven tire wear. Plus cornering is greatly decreased due to Rear tires breaking to an instantainious spin at certain speeds pluss the ride of the car is HORIBLE its like driving a Gocart.I sugest gettin a VLSD.

Dousan_PG · 03-08-2007, 12:39 PM

irax · 03-08-2007, 12:41 PM

FUCK how meny welded diff or lsd threads does zilvia need before absolutly every one knows?
Fuck it, get it welded, your never going pro anyways so it doesnt matter... welded, get it done and delete this thread.

arkive43 · 03-08-2007, 12:42 PM

i agree, vlsds wear out.

cmcdougle · 03-08-2007, 01:11 PM

A little late, but. . .

Ronald_Mcdonald · 03-08-2007, 01:18 PM

Weld that shit.

***FaLKoN240*** · 03-08-2007, 01:25 PM

If you can afford to purchase and maintain it, get a LSD, other wise get welded.

nismo-joe · 03-08-2007, 01:32 PM

if you get vlsd you will waste your money,well you could always just buy mine.If you are worried about uneven tire wear, then you shouldn't be drifting. weld that shiz, fast cheap, no maintaining it.Oh and don't let people try and convince you that a welded diff will break and send you off into a wall, i know i few people who daily on a welded and do just fine. I knew the search noob was coming sooner or later.

!Zar! · 03-08-2007, 07:30 PM

A few pros rock welded diff's on their track and fun cars.

NotoriouS14 · 03-08-2007, 07:32 PM

weld that shit.i welded mine and its a daily driver..feels good

s13coupedrfter · 03-08-2007, 07:40 PM

I have had welded and kazz 2way diffs and I say weld it!!!! The kazz 2 way is more streetable but for the cost, a welded diff kicks ass...just make sure the welds are strong G/L

Casascacas · 03-08-2007, 07:45 PM

Weld it! I've been driving my s13 with it welded for almost 2 years now and i love it..yes the rear hops when you are turning slow but who gives a sh** right?

SochBAT · 03-08-2007, 09:38 PM

Weld = cheaper, little/no maintenance.

oh, I'm sorry you missed the point of me being annoyed by YET another welded diff thread. Yeah more and more pro's are using welded diffs, and yeah all the japanese drifters LOVE welded diffs even though they rock two ways in their drift machine. I have been rocking a welded diff in my s14 for two years and I dont think I would ever not rock a welded diff unless the factory diff never came open. I'm sorry I thought you would of noticed by now the reason why you have 2 reds already with 1 stupid thread.

Addicted2Kouki · 03-08-2007, 10:46 PM

if you have $$$$$$ [the cheddar], go LSD.

jdm538 · 03-09-2007, 11:43 AM

weld it if you dont like it go back to open diff or buy an lsd.

hella_flushed · 03-09-2007, 11:48 AM

welded diff. is a poor mans lsd. had it for awhile but then opted for a 2-way...

arkive43 · 03-09-2007, 11:58 AM

ive said it once and ill say it again......your not hardcore untill u rock a Welded!!!!

GoodOl'S13 · 03-09-2007, 02:15 PM

weld it and save up for a LSD, if you end up liking the welded diff as many people do buy something else with that extra cash. Its all personal preference though.

S13FREEAAK · 03-09-2007, 02:19 PM

Go welded, because you can do it yourself.

irax · 03-09-2007, 02:56 PM

WOW, I freaking predicted that.....

ALMOSTJDM, YOU can use it, but if your diff blows up and causes you to get into an accident, dont blame me.

ALMOSTJDM · 03-09-2007, 03:03 PM

revd34 · 03-09-2007, 03:04 PM

Wow a real question about welded diff that has not been answered before!
I have read a lot of grassroots mags and there is a lot of positive talk about the welded diff in use in a time attack race or actual circuit race. The biggest positive about having a welded diff in a grip races is that you can late brake extremely late. And in drag racing it insures that even one wheel slips more than the other due to surface conditions that it would not cause an excessive loss of traction.
