There is nothing rice about welding your differential.1) It is more "old school hot rod" than rice2) Grab your welder and make sure that set of spider gears is one solid piece of steel, then clean it good about 5 times. Those little pieces of slag will tear up that diff housing.3) My welded diff whines like crazy, very loud. But, I do not have any interior or sound deadening in my car.

I did it knowing that eventually it will get tore up and I will have to get a LSD like I had on my old 240.

Knowing that I welded it, and am looking for a LSD unit that I want. At that point I spend a little time and swap it.

BTW I only drive my 240 for drift/fun, so I can't tell you about welded daily driving.

if i weld my diff. now then later on if i got money to buy the real lsd can i just swap the weld diff with the real lsd or i have 2 change the other parts to since i weld it already???

to LOVERboy ^^^^ u can take out your welded diff by disassembling everything off... then from there you can put in your lsd,.... have fun

anyone did road racing/ track with welded diff? I'm thinking of getting a welded to drift every now and then but im mainly for hpde.

ive had my welded diff for 2 years now. drifted the hell out of my car with a KA till it blew up, now i'm drifting with an SR even harder. Still got the same welded diff. I even let a friend borrow it till i got my car running again lol.

im close to purchasing a 240 with a welded diff, the only thing is iam a first time driver and still learning.was wondering if their is anyway to unwelding it?or would i have to just buy a new diff all together?any help would be appriciated.

I put in a welded diff over 6 years ago and I'm still running on it never once had an issue. Some of you think it's a ticking time bomb. I say if welded properly and driven in a smart way you'll be fine.
