<-- not a big fan of welded diffs.

<-- thinks Lanny's specs are weaksauce.

 

Just get a spare open, weld up one of them, and swap them out before you go to the track. Diff swap is easy- and IMO would be well worth it for drag racing.

 

^word

weld it then if nothing else get another open unit and swap it back.

my old mazdaspeed 2way would chirp like crazy making low-speed corners, I liked it.

 

i have a spare open if you want it....

 

Thanks Brain, if the welded diff sucks and I can't find a clutch type for cheap, I'll let you know. I'm thinking I'm gonna like this though, as I would overly enjoy knowing I have both tires to work with at all times.

 

Not a spool but i know my rx7 has some pretty tight lock up and it has made the car alot more tail happy in corners. Of course this is comming from a vicius lsd. Still tough i like to be able to accelerate in turns instead of just caost. A rx7 clutch pack etc is the real way to go about this i never rebuilt mine or measured the lockup for real but it takes a good bit to get it to slip, and it locks very quickly.

 

I got mine on the RX7 forums for 50 bucks including circlips and stubshafts. Have you tried RX7club?

 

No, I have not. Wow, that's cheap for a clutch type lsd. Was it in good shape? I'll have to check that site out.

 

It needed a rebuild, but yeah, it was cheap

 

Volvo 242GT Solid axle.

It had wide tires, depowered steering, and a welded differential. Any one would have been good as stock. Any two would have been manageable. All three was no fun. Sold the car shortly thereafter.

 

Well, I do have power steering. I don't thinkg I would want to swap diffs out just for the track. I go maybe 10 times a season, so that would get old. If the welded diff does suck, I'll look into getting an RX-7 diff.
