[Dominic49]

swapped out my diff cover for one with a solid Aluminum bushing today and decided to snap some pics for you guys at how the welds are doing after 6 months....

[Dominic49]

He won't take it off for that price... You'll have to take it off and bring it to him. If you bring it to him it takes about 15 minutes.

[ThatS13Guy]

[Banzai]

[suprabrit]

Awesome! I figured it'd be all sorts of beat up judging by the title of this thread. ;)

[Beez_S13]

So when you weld your differental like that, it will stop from one wheel from spinning faster than the other on turns?

yeah, when you weld your diff like that it will lock both axles together so that they always turn the same amount. the weld is literally holding the gears between the axles together.

i need to do this and then start getting out and drifting.

so how does it ride when u take turns, and as a DD?

[hellfire]

Slow, it jumps. Anything over 5mph, and your fine.

[badass240]

good to know, preciate it tyler

[I RON DON KEY]

It would be funny in stop and go traffic on turns Lol. Imagine your car hopping around like a bunny LOL.

[TurboNegro]

im thinking about throwing a welded diff on my hatch but im afraid of the rain. how do they handle in the rain

[v-empire]

if you dont drive like an idiot and is always aware of the road conditions and know your entry speeds and traction limits, you will be fine.

sucks at lower speed turns because of the hopping. dont recomend for daily, as it wears random stuff from your car, like bolts, studs, axles, bushings, brakes, links ...and so on.


but other than that, as safe as you can drive.

know your car and don't be stupid... it drives how you want it to...

[badass240]

[The Bean]

I don't have to imagine hoping around, it does and plus the shitty Corolla springs eat my ass every bump...but then again i only drive it when i want to...lol

g35 ftw! welded diff ftw in the rain!
