By "CIG" do you mean the spider gears have been welded together?

Hi yes sorry i should have been more specific. From experience not ideal for a Sunday driver.

Yeah, I just wanted to clarify it for USA readers. We call it a welded diff, or something like that. Its good for pure offroad driving. Like sand or mud. Or pure drag-strip driving. But total **** for real-world Street driving, especially in wet or snowy conditions.

I knew what you meant but wanted to make it clear for "USA" readers.
