I personally like it, kinda goes through tires a little to early but its ok I daily it btw .

Dboyizmlg · 10-16-2013, 09:18 PM

Shimmed is better.
That's my opinion

I love it for drifting. Gets annoying for dailying. Expect to hear "what's wrong with your car" "are ur tires rubbing?" And the like... Constantly

KiLLeR2001 · 10-16-2013, 09:49 PM

Be sure to weld properly!

^^^Looks legit...looks like he did an awesome job of melting the gears together, it'll never break.

I always talked shit on welded diffs till I bought an s13 with one. they really aren't bad though

UnknownGuy · 10-18-2013, 03:21 PM

I used to daily a S13 with a welded about 3 years ago and the shit was super legit for daily and track. Only thing better tho is a actual LSD.

This has been discussed a million times! Use the freaking SEARCH tab!

A welded is like the car equivalent to a blowjob.

Feels like the real thing, can get the job done, and is cheaper.

But it isn't quite the real thing.

Welded diffs usually spit as well.

Precisely.

chris_240sx · 10-21-2013, 09:56 AM

It's okay. Works great for drifting, but is fairly annoying for just driving around. The car will push through corners a lot and tight turns in parking lots make you look like an idiot. Mine clunks a decent amount if that's something you care about. I'm also very cautious driving it in rain.

sleepyS14se · 10-21-2013, 11:43 AM

^ why does it clunk, i thought everything stays stationary when u weld up a diff

89s13sd · 10-21-2013, 11:59 AM

The wheels fight each other when turning because they need to travel at slightly different speeds but they can't.

As others have said, the wheels want to go at different speeds when you turn, but can't, so one skips or slides. It also doesn't help that I have solid diff bushings.

But you can watch TV and eat snacks while your girl (guy?) does all the straining monotonous work.

Which is why I love my welded differential.

A welded transmission would suck indeed.

Because you are lazy and don't want to do it the right way?

lflkajfj12123 · 10-25-2013, 04:04 PM

No, because its a $1200 cheaper option for something that essentially does the same thing. You can buy a lot more important things for your car with that money.

You can get a clutch LSD that is OEM from another car and have it be rebuilt for MUCH cheaper

VIPDRFT · 10-26-2013, 06:57 AM

REALLY?! Since when did any S-chassis have an OEM clutch type LSD? Kill yourself.
