Well jus a quick one too see how practical a car is to drive on the road with a lock/welded diff? obviously alot of you guys probably use these when you go out on track.....but does anyone use them on a road going car? and is the car actually drivable?
I have a welded diff and use my car everyday. I only notice the diff when i'm parking or doing short, slow corners and not even that bad imho. Just some shaking and noises. Other than that it's like a standard diff.
wooooaaaahhhhh do a search! ive got welded diff in my car i drive every day and i dont dislike anything about it, i would strongly recommend it if you plan on drifting your car a lot.
excellent! next question would be, is it jus a case of taking the acetaline bottle to the internals as i have been told....or did you get a professional to do it? if so who would you recommend?
Dodgy looks of old people as you corner slow and lots of juddering! Parking is a pian but the sideways makes up for it!
Welded diffs rock!!! I have one on mine. If you really want to enjoy drifting properly without spending £600 on a diff then welded diff is definitely the way to go
you are damn stars!! gives me something to do while im bored on nights! just had a word with one of our tech`s, saw the pics and said "you get it off ill weld it". hopefully sorted soon! thanks very much!!
whats the best way to clean the diff up , from oil ? Shit loads of degreaser? I have a Volvu 360 , transaxle. no different . Probably weld it in situ , i have a pit.
oh yeah sorry them pics are HUGE but im on 56k and theyve loaded for me (and it takes ages to navigate the web in order to resize them etc so just live with it).
i used petrol for my first one, but i left it about 2 months in the end before i found someone to weld it so it was thoroughly dry. as for my current one being welded, i sprayed white spirit in it and boiling water and some washing powder. the white spirit did more!
the guy who welded my diff used brake cleaner and then set fire to it, nice fireball that was nearly lost my eyebrows
True gents!! well i got an advantatge, i work in a truck dealership so we got a fuckin huge degreaser tank and an even bigger mig! should be done in no time at all. i was strongly reccomended by a mate not to weld it, which is why i asked.....but he his a mk 2 escort driving limpy thats more worried about clean than drift!
