do u plan on using it daily? u do know the disadvantages of a welded diff right? at parking lot type maneuvering ur gonna be squeeling tires like hell.. and ur handling will actually diminish...

if ur serious about drifting either rebuild ur LSD, or ur better off saving up and getting a Kaaz or Quaife

Welding the dif is just going to break stuff. just use it like it is, or fix it. Don't ghetto mod something that is an integral part of the drivetrain.

wow, someone gives you serious and useful informations, but you're too lazy to read it??

don't expect people to help ya out after that...

rx-7 are already less reliable than other cars, ghetto in the drivetrain = bullshit...

you'll probably end up paying the same amount because you'll break the diff...

Take the non lsd diff and look how the little spider gears rotate around. Weld them to the gears they touch and your done. Racers do this all the time, some cars respond well to it, others don't. For drifting you should be fine.

for all u saying how welded diffs feel and what they cause i would like to inform u that i have drivin a welded diff! and a lot of statements are untrue!!!

yes there is a little tire noise around corners, but it does not make driving daily any harder.

i also didnt brake anything because of it! i drove it everyday and drifted it at least everyother night! nothing broke!!!

just make sure u weld it good otherwise it will come apart and then yes, u will probably damage something!
