should i weld the differencial?

[toyo prformnce]

a buddy of mine has a 240sx and he welded the LSD in the rear end. so everytime he goes around a corner cops and other people look over at him.....i know its not a good idea to do this but how bad can it be?

is it really a bad idea to just weld the rearend of my supra?

anything would be appreciated...

welding it on a supra would be the same as any other car i guess, im welding the rear end in my caprice but its a "drag car" even though its not that fast its built for the drag strip, as long as you weld them good you should be fine cus if they break your geting a whole new rear end

DON'T....you will overstress the joints and axles. Then...something will break. But...if you have lots of $$$ to burn, go ahead. Tires won't last very long !!

I welded up the spider gears inside a ford 4x4 once, front & rear. It was a mud pulling contest truck. Only used in dirt & mud, so it did not matter. It did not break anything because the mud & dirt allowed the tires to slip when turning the truck.

What a pulling beast it was !!!

PS...this is a question...and should be in the 'qeneral' section.

you can, just have a seperate pumpkin around for when this one blows up. do you have lsd? if so, just get fluid that doesnt come w/ the slip additive. that'll work just as good, and wont harm nearly as much.

no.
terrible for handling
it will understeer lots
and break
please don't

If you plan on using it strictly for drag racing,not street use yes.
