Yeah but I can do that now and again with an open diff, without making the car shit to drive normally and dangerous. What if a lump of weld breaks off and jams the diff halfway through a bend on the motorway at 70mph? To be fair people act like it's impossible to slide a car with an open diff, which it isn't. People will do anything to fit in with the crowd, that's part of the reason I dislike "drift culture".
Easy tiger, no drift culture has been mentioned. Simply enquiring about your fine differential my friend! (Insert pipe smoking old man emoji here).
Honestly, the amount of "BAD-PRESS" welded diff's have is down to d*ck heads doing shitty welds on them and the fact "my mate said it drove like shit" is simply not the case.
It's barely dangerous, even in a 280BHP 200SX it never skips out unintentionally.
Unless you've had one, you can't really say it's shit, dangerous, impractical, pointless etc.
Moving on, "I heard XUD's blow rod's if you change the turbo".
Oh yeah, that's just my opinion on welded diffs and drift culture. You asked if I'd welded it, I'm explaining why I haven't. If you're a fan, fair enough, but in my opinion it's f*cking stupid. I mean you say it's "barely dangerous", if it's dangerous at all you shouldn't be driving it on the road.
They are dangerous though, and having driven several cars (Silvia, 360 and a Eunos) with welded diffs, they do drive badly, every single one I've driven. Why not just get an LSD? Ruining cars for the sake of showing off.
You're right about the XUD though. Just like how they look shit unless they're lowered 40mm on clones
World would be dull if we were all the same...
