is it hard to drive with welded diff for every day car?

[nissandrift818]

if i get my diff welded is it gonna be much pain in the a** to drive it on the street every day?

Its not hard, but it is annoying.
I've been dailying my welded for over two years.

thanks,wat exactly is annoying?the steering?

thanks,wat exactly is annoying?the steering?

The turning at low speeds. The chirping. The tire wear.

Overall its not that bad, but a good 1.5 or 2 way diff probably pays for itself in tires.

The tire wear.

tire wear is minimal. the ability to drift and do doughnuts is what wears tires.

2 way's chirp the exact same as a welded around corners. i cannot speak for a 1.5 way.

this is all personal experience. also i daily drove my car for 1 year with a welded. its wrecked now but when i get it back on the road the welded is staying.

oh,wat about vlsd,how mutch do u think it will cost?

[EnjoiNismo]

Friend got his VLSD + axles for $150. But thats a good deal.

[nissandrift818]

so it should be the same as 2 way on corners...in that case they r both good but u guys think vlsd sucks for drifting?

search!!

Most VLSD are worn down so you aren't guarantee a full "lock" up.

Two was won't chrip your wheels, just make a clucking noise, and provide a "instant" lock when drifting.

Wow.

Okay, if you want to learn how to drift; weld your diff. If you don't like it, sell the car and stick to Hondas (I'm just assuming you come from that crowd, or Eclipses or... Cavaliers, oh god) and you wouldn't have spent tons of money on a 2 way. If you actually enjoy drifting and want to keep with it, rebuild your car and get a 2 way. I've seen 3 retarded f*** threads from you today, and they make my f*** head hurt.

Now, onto your question. It is, in no way, hard to daily drive on a welded diff. I did it for 6 months, and am about to swap to a 2 way. Welded diffs are great for learning how to slide, very predictable. You'll only notice anything at low speed turns. People that say welded diffs wear tires down too much are retarded. They do wear them down, but only ever so slightly. I only had two sets of tires when I had my welded diff, and the main reason I got rid of the first set was because I sold the wheels. I enjoyed my welded, but it's time to join the big boys and man up.

There's my 2cents for the week...

the only bad part about welded is the chirping but my exhaust covers it so i dun mind

I've driven mine for over 3 years. Welded diff, plus coilovers... it's annoying for the most part, but really, the car is so light, you don't notice it too much. It's much more predictable in the rain and such. I like it. I don't go through tires too bad either..
