Ok guys i have a quick question i did some looking with no answers. Any way im thinking of welding my diff to drift but my car is a daily driven car so i was wondering if i would still retain/use my traction control or not and just go ahead and delete it.

 

just buy a proper lsd. these cars arent 240's yet lol.

 

horrible idea for a street car, unless you want the tires to chirp around every corner and wear horribly when trying to daily drive. expect to replace tires much more frequently if you do this(that not even counting the drifting).

 

Been rocking the welded diff since '09 and love it. You're going to want to get rid of the traction control and ABS/EBS for drifting anyways. I have a base model so I can't comment on how it'll react to the welded diff.

FYI: I daily my car and replace the back tires every month or two. But most of that wear is from drift monthly drift events.

 

its not really quicker wear that kills them with a welded diff street driving its the abnormal wear, you get high and low spots where the tires skip going around corners because the two wheels need to spin at different speeds for street driving. welded diff dosnt allow that, whole reason limited slip diff exists, even without the drifting the tires wouldnt last much longer then 3 or 4 months before you had horrible road noise like your running over the highway "wake up" strips from the abnormal wear, which is really bad on the suspension since its actually causing the wheels to bounce on smooth pavement slightly once the tires wear like that. thats why i couldnt run my 84 camaro on the street, it had a full spool in it(pretty much does the same thing as a welded diff without compromising strength from welding anything.)

 

TCS won't know the difference, it looks for different wheel speed which will not change with the diff welded.

 

i hate this reply. and yes they are

 

keepin it real...and keeping the streets safe
