Welded diff for non-drifting
Anyone drive/has driven a welded diff for non-drifting purposes? I'm debating whether or not to weld mine up or leave it open.
How hard is it to control vs. an open? Will it be ridiculous or will it just be twitchy and under-steery? If it's going to be dangerous I'm not going to do it, but if it will just be slightly annoying at low speeds and sharp turns then I'm going to go ahead. It will stay in the car for about 2 or 3 months and then I'll be switching to an OBX LSD.
Anyone have personal experience? And please don't tell me a friend of a friend of a cousin of a guy who read something on the internet says it sucks/rocks.

It is the WORST DRIVING EXPERIENCE YOU CAN IMAGINE X2.
I'm not joking or exaggerating: it is utter ****. The car will understeer like crazy, and basically fight you every time you want to take any sort of turn or corner.
I cannot even begin to tell you how shitty it is.
I've driven many welded diff 240's.
I can only imagine how much worse a miata feels with one, since its so much lighter and has so much more steering feedback.

Either way, cooling system and replacing the shitty leaking lines I have now come first.
