The bad - tire wear, axle twist, "interesting" on slippery surfaces, harder on drive line parts, once welded you diff is not serviceable.. you can't unweld it. The good? Got a door slammer with a hot engine? Do it! Great off the line traction and like dude said, easy drifting fun. My experience - My 84' Cutless got about 3500 miles before my axles started looking like twizzlers.
Also it’s hard to find a good working lsd for an old falcon these days it’s much better to lock the diff as it guarantees both wheels to spin 100% of the time and will never single out
I find you have more grip in the rain under standard circumstances with a locker. I also laugh at everyone who goes on about how hard the car will be to drive. My ex (not a car girl at all ) thought it was hillarious when her Ute was broken so I lent her the missile to go to an agricultural show. She said she's never stopped twenty people by trying to reverse a trailer before. Had no idea what everyone was looking at as she can reverse a trailer. She realised everyone was listening to the locker. Half were like what's wrong with that car other half were like fuck yeah. A 4 foot 11, 50 something kilo bird in a vs with 4.11's , t5, a cam and trailer full of goats chirping around 😂 She was worried about borrowing came back and was like. " I dno what everyone complains about. It absolutely pissed down and proper utes were getting stuck. It covered the trailer in mud but I just put it in second and crawled out of there at about 1500 rpm after everyone told me I couldn't. "
If you want more stability you need to weld the suspension too, get rid of that useless bouncing of the springs. And if you're tired of using up tires, just use wooden wheels, the good old fashioned way.
i have one on my skyline, and the attention that it gets man its alot, when you are certain that you arnt going to skid the car for an amount of time, you can run radials, the cherping is not as bad if you want to keep a lower profile (kinda hard with a straight piped car), but it will stress the components and understeer is increased more than if you had stockies on.
@@joelgreen4654 Yeah It is, but as I said, if you don't drove like an idiot you won't be done, I litterally have a welded diff myself and I don't fly around town. Never had any problems
Another thing you should’ve mentioned with an LSD when you tried to Drift it they can play with you Twin single twin and make it spin out If you can’t catch it 👌🏿👍🏿
get yourself some nolathane bushes because the spool is gonna chew up your stock bushes and will end up snaking all over the road when on and off power... besides that enjoy the skids
I watched a video of another bloke with an AU ute (Howlers Garage) and he spent a lot of time installing a mini spool. It just seems like spools aren’t worth it. They are “reversible”, but take a lot of effort to install + uninstall compared to just welding it. The diffs are easy to find as they are in AU’s and BA’s also. I reckon weld the diff and if you get sick of it just get a cheap diff centre from the wreckers/fb marketplace that isn’t welded and put that in the car.
Funny you post this now Rex because I just bought an R180 beefy rear diff for the Forester and I’m going to weld the centre diff AND the rear diff and go rear wheel drive.
I have an limited slip diff in my civic and every time I leave an intersection I do a skid 🤣👀 my mate has a welded diff in his commodore and it doesnt make that tyre noise at all haha
Bought a e36 328i and I can barely find any open differentials at all. Closest one is wrong ratio 2.93 and I want a 3.15 but I only find new ones with LSD for around $2600~ Welding it is. Also it’s not like I want to weld it but the gears are about ti give up and if I weld them they’ll won’t break, according to the mechanic.
@@nate7243 Well the car has been torn down since late October so I haven't even touched it yet but if you wait maybe 2 months more and I may be able to tell you how it is to drive. For context I needed to replace the engine block for the dumbest reason known to man. The right mount to the gearbox on the block is broken. because of that the transmission has problems too and then there's the diff. I'm already $4000 into the engine so life's painful.
@@nate7243 update: cars runt perfectly now and passed inspection. However, yesterday I did find another diff with LSD so sadly I won’t be able to tell you how a welded diff drives. BUT if I do install one I’ll remember to come back to this comment section and tell you how it is to drive!
If you want to change your tires more frequently ye you should. Your suspension and bearings will experience more stress also. More fuel waste, more stress on the gearbox. No good for a daily. Zero advantage.
That’s bull I daily my drift car it’s a pleasure and a joy the only thing that makes it impossible is it’s impossible for me to stop my self from sending it
@@matthewmontgomery7764 So you enjoy dailying it? I know I’m going to enjoy mine even the chirps but is it good for long drives? What about rain? :0 what kind of car do you have btw?
@@phatmiike it’s great on long drives low speeds are the worst like crawling into a parking spot but long drives and rain is a non factor I’ve nevit or anything and I have a 98 e36 coupe bmw what do you plan on welding?
@@lukeanderson2256 I blew my standard diff gears and rebuilt it with a minispool. I've had a minispool in mine for over 3 years with no problems but I had to modify it and the pins to go in a ba XR6 ute . Least with a minispool you can put it back to standard if you don't like it. Be hard trying to seperate the welds if it's welded .
This is all about exhibitionism. If you want (or need) to draw attention to yourself, try mooning. At least, the car in not liable to damage and it'll give your arse and balls an airing. Possible downside, maybe the cops might take an interest. Give it a go, guys!
The unalloyed joy you take in even small things -- chirping tires -- is very entertaining. Thanks for posting.

That sound would drive me crazy. But it's worth it 😈
Locking differential. Best of everything.
Or an ARB Air Locker if you want to be fancy.
I’m going back on stocks so I can daily a welded diff. Tires for my aftermarket wheels are $250 each where my sticks I can get for $25 each
Im back again. Time stamp 0:09 qnd ive already liked because its Rex and all his videos are nothing short of perfect.
Nice gonna weld the diff on my motorcycle 😊
'locked diff' bro
I came for the mr2.. it's gone 🥺 you're still very entertaining though man, good on you for making a go of it
In an nb miata, my daily wheels get about 3500 to 4000 miles before the rears need changing. I only do about 3000 miles a year so its not bad at all.
If you have a tiny pickup with a welded diff it’s violent
thanks for the info, helps for when I get a car and maybe a drift car
if you're still reading comments, can the mini spool be taken in and out at will?
Funny you post this now Rex because I just bought an R180 beefy rear diff for the Forester and I’m going to weld the centre diff AND the rear diff and go rear wheel drive.
First time i heard about minispools
Have you ever thought about putting a turbo on the AU
if he does he knows where to go ;)
@@TURBOTRISTO cool
Skids...and getting yourself unstuck from snow. Been thinking about a mini spool, as i need to change my diff fluid anyways.
great explanation
How do you put a mini spool into a lsd? Dont you have to make it an open centre? I’ve got an au with lsd but needs a spool lsd has gone
Surly just pop a set already for the boys 🇲🇽🇲🇽
I have an limited slip diff in my civic and every time I leave an intersection I do a skid 🤣👀 my mate has a welded diff in his commodore and it doesnt make that tyre noise at all haha
thanks a lot
why do most people weld they’re diffs and not just put a mini spool in
Respect the diff.
good to know. my jeeps rear diff is failing maybe ill just weld it and fwd
My limited slip in my crown Vic won’t spin both wheels around a corner but will spin both in a straight line. Can you weld an LSD?
Just curious, does it gonna bent the rod that connects the diff to the wheels?
Lmao i did delivery driving with my Lexus gs300 with a welded diff and I went through tires every 2 weeks just driving
Sounds like you have a bigger problem
Nice work and well done 8.5\10😄😄😄😄😄🚗🚗
Bought a e36 328i and I can barely find any open differentials at all. Closest one is wrong ratio 2.93 and I want a 3.15 but I only find new ones with LSD for around $2600~

also no way you are almost at 40k subscribers. legit feels like you were at 30k like 1 week ago
my skidmate kicks out fine and it has open diff
post more skid vids!
If u have a welded diff, can u still go fast in the free or is more dangerous?
So your trying to have a posi rear end?
If you want to change your tires more frequently ye you should. Your suspension and bearings will experience more stress also. More fuel waste, more stress on the gearbox. No good for a daily. Zero advantage.
It is what it is 😂😂😂
Who have ride one sport quad will understand 😎
Got my 2.5inch exhaust on My AU finally an my exhaust is like yours it's rubbing on the guard 🤣🤣
Seems to have same issues with mini spool diff
the cops will love watching this another au off the road soon just makes mine go up in value weld the world
Haha what a joke! Cops don’t have time from real issues, let alone sitting on RUclips looking for welded diffs hahahaha
forgot tru-track
cool car
Things You Must Know !!
Just sends bro... Just sends..
I thought you would just turn up the music to eliminate the noise.
Not as bad as I thought it would be! Everyone always says welded diff is like impossible to drive on the street…

Nice👌
Lincoln lockers eat axles.... That all you need to know.
Air locker but money i guess
what about a cop pulls u up and makes u do a u turn
Lockdown ending? Not with Daniel Andrew's
I wish mine just cherped, the whol car feels like ots bouncing and xlunking all over the place, mx5 nb
All fun until you get bind up n snap a axle
No upload for awhile? Everything okay?
I got an LSD for my AU! It was $149 at Jolleys in Dandy!
noice
You forgot to mention that a locked rear end will cause understeer.
It will cause oversteer
Wait till the pavement is wet and your hitting a turn
👌
I eight that car
0:43 are you sure about that
Posi track works better
sound like a train

Why didn't you just spend $20 for a phantom grip. It works like a welded diff without welding.
no money pit
Well thas a trash car bro
"Locked diff" "Locked diff" "Locked diff" "Locked diff" "Locked diff" stop calling it a WELDED DIFF whens its a SPOOL, just call it a LOCKED DIFF
Welded diff
I have a 07 350gt but don’t know if I should weld the diff or not 🥲
