welding the diff, who's done it?
Hi All,

im in the middle of fitting my new engine and i have just discovered that my diff is not LSD. so im looking into locking or welding up the diff.
has anyone had any experiences with driving locked diff corollas and if so how easy are they to live with.
i only use my corolla for weekend drives but they do involve some small and sometimes tight roads.

cheers

Use search Tongue

Not for daily use, especially cornering.
It's hard both on tires and yourself.

Get used LSD.

Smart move. A 100% lock is a lot of fun on the circuit, but going slower then 10km/h and cornering becomes very awkward. You use up your tires in no time and parking becomes a real pain.

He attacked everything in life with a mix of extrordinary genius and naive incompetence, and it was often difficult to tell which was which.
