And seattle is VERY large.

Well, sounds like you need to invest in some propper tires. Because when I was forced to transport my s13 during a storm, I had belted tires all around. And I had no problem.

Just to remind you, if your car has no traction with a weld,2way,wtf, then you are just as likely to loose traction with an open.

And thank you for stating the obvious about seattle.

I've driven my brothers car with a welded and think people understate the effects on daily driving. If you daily drive a welded, you will know it in EVERY turn. I'm sure it is great for drifting, but I don't want people to think that the welded diff was God's gift to earth. It does sacrifice much in regards to smoothness. Also, if you live in a snowy place, winter tires are a must IMO. Brother got stuck nearly every day pulling out of the driveway in the snow on crappy all season tires. The car would just slide sideways way too easily.

You are correct about a helical not being a downgrade. I don't know what rock told him that lie.

As for the welded statments, you are partialy correct.

You will notice it, but only if your suspension isn't tuned for it.

When I parted an old car, I only left the diff in there, and the car had a heavier understeer than when my car was aligned for it.
After alignment, my handeling was sexy.

But then again arn't you going to feel the presence of any diff besides an open?

I belive it was Calvin Wan who has a spool in his car.

There arn't any spools for the 240 that I know of, but then again after markup and production costs, the whole idea would be pointless and people would just buy a clutch type.

But being as how weld locd's don't break, there is no need for one.
