i have the version 3 and it has worked great for me. I abuse it every time i drive the car. luke is a good guy to deal with. This is a great deal for those of you on a budget.

blu808 · 03-05-2006, 08:39 PM

Thanks for the nice words.

ReLevent1 · 03-06-2006, 01:22 AM

Weld Loc FTW!!!

S14zenkiQ's · 03-06-2006, 06:10 AM

For once i acually regret being in Japan...at least I've got a nismo 2way for the time being, no rebuild would be nice though.

cheap_sticker05 · 03-06-2006, 12:37 PM

What is the turn around time if I ship mine to you?

slider2828 · 03-06-2006, 01:49 PM

blu808 · 03-06-2006, 03:50 PM

Thanks guys.

When i recieve the diff it will be shipped out the very next day.

Actual transit time varies on location of shipment.

2fast4y0u · 03-06-2006, 07:44 PM

i can ship you mine with no oil in it...is the cost still $100? of course i will pay for shipping.

95zilvia · 03-06-2006, 09:08 PM

Yes, it is still $100 (+$20 for me)

blu808 · 03-06-2006, 09:11 PM

All diffs myct be shipped dry. So yes the version 4 is $100.

khoadogg · 03-06-2006, 10:13 PM

awesome deal! get it! best way to slide your ride... you will not regret it!

ClubDrifter · 03-06-2006, 10:32 PM

Good News!!!!!!!

S14zenkiQ's · 03-06-2006, 11:01 PM

Hey luke have you figured out if you can weld a Viscous yet? I've got an extra that I could ship, I wish I had an extra open diff. you cant beat $100 for complete predictability.

blu808 · 03-07-2006, 02:06 AM

Well we have perfected, everything except viscous. The reason being is that we reccomend our customers sell their diffs for the $300 and take their open diff and have it welded.

Other then that we can do torsion, open, and helicle diffs without any problems.

With the clutch and viscous diffs. We have determined that the only way is to dowel pin them in 14 different spots and then weld those pins through the casing.

DriftSpecial180 · 03-07-2006, 02:29 AM

Just a question. Since these welded diff's are always locked, how is the performance on the track (grip driving) affected?

blu808 · 03-07-2006, 02:36 AM

Awsome. Handles like a 2 way. Still the only detriment in grip driving is that hard braking with little steering input will tend to get the ass out a little. Feels great in my opinion.

DriftSpecial180 · 03-07-2006, 03:03 AM

Cool. Thanks for the feedback. I'll definately be looking into one.

2fast4y0u · 03-07-2006, 06:44 AM

i will be sending my diff as soon as i can get it out of my car. can i get the address to send this to?
also, how long is this deal going on? i certainly dont want to miss it

monkey7 · 03-08-2006, 04:27 AM

I have a weld locd version 3 on my car (more than half a year) and it is great. I used it in many events, road race, drive hard, and it is still in perfect working order. For the price you can't beat it!

I watch Luke weld my diff, he took his time and explained why it is a long process. It wasn't a micky mouse job, he knows what he was doing.

YoungRookie · 03-09-2006, 07:56 AM

Hows the daily driving with these welded diffs? Is there much noise out of the differential? Im sure the one wheel hops when taking a sharp slow turn, but other then that is there really any problems with daily driving them? I am very interested in this but not sure how it will be on my daily driver

blu808 · 03-09-2006, 11:34 AM

Shipping address is.

As for street driving. It is not as loud as a 2 way, but it does make some noise.
it also makes the skeet skeet skeet noise when making a u turn.

i8yourfwd · 03-09-2006, 04:53 PM

skeet skeet... weld locd FTW.. I loved mine

Irukandji · 03-09-2006, 05:10 PM

Luke is a good guy... stands behind his products. Thanks again.

blu808 · 03-09-2006, 05:31 PM

No prob. Thanks.

DJPimpFlex · 03-09-2006, 05:46 PM

V3 is an Awsome diff! Grip, Drift, daily whatever! Prefer it over a VLDS, Clutch type and ofcourse open. I wont run anything different unless someone pays me! +1 for a GREAT DIFF!

RaidenKing · 03-09-2006, 07:48 PM

This sounds good.
Any idea on when you'll be locating any open diffs? I'd like to get in on one but don't really have an extra open diff to throw your way.

SnakeKack · 03-10-2006, 11:50 PM

How bad does one of these go through tires?

Also is is the car harder to turn? Like is it harder to turn left than right and the other way around?

blu808 · 03-11-2006, 04:37 AM

I will give out a little alignment secret here. run .015 toe out on each side and it turns in like a evo, with coilovers.

Believe me you will love it.

BTW. i didnt create weld locd to sell hella shit. I created it so people who didnt have money (like myself) would be able to get a decent diff, and not worrie about shit being rebuilt or breaking.
