Why would you weld a LSD?

Ive seen fds drift well with just the stock lsd. I dont think any fds come with a open diff to weld.

I like to get full lock I could buy a kaz lsd but is $800+ I dont have that $ now I don't know if i got used to it a helical lsd that i had in my s13 it s alot diferent

some members have spent half that amount for the OBX ebay lsd and havent heard anything bad about it yet. cept for the name of course. you can also go the S4 TII diff route if you can find one.

speed rII

OBX = helical lsd
Stock = helical lsd



So whats the point.

why?
I have a S4 TII with the stock LSD, and I bought a FD Torsen Diff .

in the ultimate streetcar challenge a few years ago there was a black FD competing and he used an S4 TII diff. never got to hang out with the guy but im sure they did it for a good reason.

its a clutch type i think they last a bit longer than the torsen

Torsen's don't wear out. They do however eat themselves after ~400hp.

If the OP wants to weld a diff for an FD, why doesn't he sell the helical unit (which would fetch a good price) and buy a S5 turbo open diff to weld?

S5 turbos came with open diffs, right? If not, then weld up the viscous unit I guess...

Because you don't know what you're talking about.

Just save the cash for a KAAZ or another TWO WAY LSD!!!!!

Oun

iTrader: (3)

if you have an FD im pretty sure you can spend a little extra and get it done right the first time. shoulda got a 240 if you wanted to save money

Punished

HA.


Seriously, why would you weld an already operating LSD? $800 is chump change when compared to everything you will probably buy for your drift build.

Yeah, I paid more than that for a manifold.

winrar, or at least shims.

He would have to swap the S4 TII LSD in and get the oversized clutch disks from mazdatrix. To completely replace all the disks, your at roughly 500 bux. Save the extra 400 and get the KAAZ.

See I am trying to change my ways for the cheap bastards in this section. Dont talk about something that could be better in every aspect, ******* cheap is all that matters lol.

Who cares as long as you look baller on the track.

I am starting to think I am trying to de-rice this section way to much. I mean if i succeed then I will have nothing to laugh at after I get off of work.

Tsuchiya can drift beautiful with a stock FD

so if you can't drift with your FD it's not the Diff's fault.
and you don't even have the excuse that your LSD is worn out, because torsen never wear out !

If someone wants cheap, get a 240. Honestly lol!!!!. I mean, 200 bux for the S4 LSD, and then 500ish for the shims!!!!! your at the price of the KAAZ unit.

If your cheap, or dont make the scratch, or cant do your own work, dont get into drifting, modifying cars, drag racing, any motorsport. ****, go buy a bike!!!!!!

And yes, there is aLOT of rice/cheesy/dangerous/damaging mods talked about in here.
