i8yourfwd · 03-11-2006, 01:15 PM

Hey luke, will the Ver3 still have the lifetime warranty type thing that you had advertised on your page a while back? I'm assuming the ver4 will come with it also.

Props on a great product! I can't wait to see the FD in action @ altamont O_O

blu808 · 03-11-2006, 06:42 PM

Yes it will. If it ever breaks just bring the diff in, and i will reweld it, or i will weld your new diff for you.

Paul2x · 03-12-2006, 11:12 PM

I'm very new to all of this, and I understand you can't reveal you secrets, but I take it from reading this, you can't "just" weld the whole diff. Seems a technique is nessary.

I'm just tyring to understand the lodgic....sould i say away from a diff that has been welded in no particular fashion???

thanks

-Paul

blu808 · 03-13-2006, 12:08 AM

Well put it this way. every diff i have ever heard of being welded has broken,
Except for mine, and i have done over 100 of them.

blu808 · 03-13-2006, 01:46 AM

Heres some more info.

ALTRNTV · 03-13-2006, 02:22 AM

I'm interested in a V3.

To the people who shipped out their open diff to him, how much was shipping?

blu808 · 03-13-2006, 03:24 AM

Well just to give you guys an idea for shipping weight it is 75 pounds dry.

s14xman · 03-13-2006, 06:12 AM

i would really want one, but i don't have an extra diff. If you get one, can i send you the money for it? i will need it shipped, i am very serious just to let you know. If you can get one please pm me

psychoblue · 03-13-2006, 08:29 AM

hit me back as to where to send?

thanks

so just to make sure i know what im gettin myself into, if get one of these diffs, the car will act like it has a 2 way in it? just trying to rationalize or imagine how it feels to drive a car with this in it. as for tires, besides ur toe setting, anything else u recommend?

slider2828 · 03-17-2006, 11:20 AM

Its like a 2 way always locd. There is a LOT of information ie driving impressions and idea behind the weld locd. I personally run one on my daily driver and I tell you its a lot of fun. Trust me search the tech forum and you will find a lot of information

sc ka24e · 03-17-2006, 11:18 PM

not very fimiliar with welded open diffs. would it be recommened for daily driving ?does it lock up during normal turning ? is it safe when its raing like its been latley here in san diego, i will be mainly dragging with occasional drift but most importaltley daily driving. lmk

blu808 · 03-18-2006, 02:19 PM

its fine. It is literally the same feeling as a 2 way lsd.

RWD_Bliss · 03-19-2006, 08:15 AM

this is proably a stupid question but IF it were to brake would car still be drivable or will it leave me stranded somwhere?

**ThatGuy** · 03-19-2006, 09:16 AM

If you can break it, then there is probably something seriously wrong with your car and you shouldn't try and drive any further anyway. When it comes down to it though, if you break ANY rear diff, you're gona be stuck.

blu808 · 03-19-2006, 01:25 PM

Havent had any break yet.

the diff is always locked, so you spin and skip the inside tire when you make low speed turns. it drives fine in the rain so long as you dont drive like a dick, i actually prefer it in the rain since it puts less stress on my tires when i turn. i run a locd ver3 and i daily drive my car more than i drift it, and i can honestly say that if youre not gonna see yourself drifting or drag racing on a regular basis, i wouldnt bother getting one. im not trying to put down any sales or anything but a welded diff can get on your nerves if youre just daily drive with it. i go through tires faster, and parking and U turns are a pain, but for me personally the trade off was all worth it. i remember when i switched from drifting with a vlsd to the welded, it felt like i was cheating because it made drifting so much easier (and fun).

MurdarioStomp · 03-19-2006, 11:36 PM

i'll prolly be sending you mine soon...seems like you have a nice rep with everyone and ive been interested for a while

can i ship it removed form the pumkin for a weld V3? how much?

blu808 · 03-19-2006, 11:54 PM

You can ship it anyway you would like. I reccomend shipping it out of the pumpkin to save shipping cost. If you need to ship it with the pumpkin, then thats fine as well.

Also somthing to think about, is you will need to reset the gear lash if you remove it from the pumpkin.

Either way.

Thanks and if you have any questions at all feel free to give me a call.

*Sonic Motor* · 03-20-2006, 01:04 AM

hey luke, im running on your version 3, its awesome

I got some friends who wanna get their diffs welded. If I shipped you 5 open diffs +100 money order, would you ship 3 back to me welded? And you can keep the other 2. I'm so cal.

Let me know via PM

thanks,
J

blu808 · 03-20-2006, 12:04 PM

Thanks for the comment. I will think about that offer today and let ya know.

Thanks.

rms13kid · 03-20-2006, 12:57 PM

this deal sounds great. I'd like to know how long the offer will last. I'll definitely send one your way once i manage to pick up an open diff. So, send $100 + shipping costs for the return? Just to verify.

Thanks.

blu808 · 03-20-2006, 01:13 PM

yes. thats correct.

2fast4y0u · 03-20-2006, 06:43 PM

im getting a little confused...
i dont know a lot about the differentials in cars. i dont have abs or anything special so how do i know if i have a open diff or whatever.

i want to make sure that i can get this done

ALTRNTV · 03-20-2006, 06:49 PM

If you don't have ABS, and if your differential was never changed, then you have open differential.

MurdarioStomp · 03-21-2006, 10:00 AM

cool...hopefully i can talk a few more kids from my forums into it so we can mayeb save on some shipping. kids just seem skiddish till they read all the reviews here. thanks for doing this!

blu808 · 03-22-2006, 01:17 PM

Well if you guys bring in a bunch at a time i can give you all a better deal.

ranisron · 03-23-2006, 04:39 PM

Hey Luke, hope the quit-smoking process is working out for ya.

How much does it cost for the V3 pumpkin shipped (I don't have a diff laying around) to 47403? I know the shipping will be hella expensive...

I hope I explained my request well, if not, I will give you a holla.

thx.

Ran/Ron

blu808 · 03-23-2006, 04:43 PM

well i would love to ship you a diff, but i think i have welded up all the ones in this area, and they are hella hard to find now. haha.

sorry. i will let you know if i can get one.
