i think thats a matter of opinion....... i had a welded diff on my 200sx for over a year with no problems at all...... so if anyone does have an open diff or welded diff then just hit me up........

Used LSD's that are still in good working order are rather plentiful, and not expensive. Check for for sale section.

A guy in my town ran a welded diff. He had some big block powered chevy somthing rather another. He was claiming 400+ HP. The key word is "was". He was leaving town on a old highway, Just guning that bitch. Then "snap" his welded diff broke. He spun out, launched his car over the guardrail and down to the new highway!!!



so either welded diffs are unsafe especially if you running high HP and Torqe OR That guy is a shitty welder..???



The dude is dead!! cars are fun!! but you only live once. It's not worth the risk of killing my self, turning myself into a veggie, Or worst killing someone else!!!
