Tell me how much time I lost running a welded diff

[Fourbanger]

well the rosary is +10 whp, that should have made up for any lost time on account of the diff.

[Jean]

You lost 2:06 due to understeer? LOL

[iamsam]

so is a welded diff a major pita for a DD?

[yeaseth]

Im putting my LSD back in for autox this season but the welded diff is just a pain when parking but so fun when your out drifting

[Teaguer]

You lost 2:06 due to understeer? LOL

:rofl:

[yeaseth]

how do you guys feel about open diffs for autocross vs my welded diff? I like understeer :)

[Teaguer]

You could run with either but honestly the welded diff would be better if you adjust your driving style.
Obviously you'll want to rotate through the tighter corners, in essence drifting it through.
Although if running with the SCCA they tend to from upon this type of driving if its too wild.
I would not bother running with the open unless you just absolutely have to.

You should try coming out with the LSC BMWCCA chaper. WAY more relaxed and informal than the SCCA.
PLus I've drifted many runs with them with no hassles. :D

Good advice, I did one in October it was really fun, the TMS surface is the best

[Teaguer]

TMS bus lot surface is the best if you like super slick and greasy conditions. :p
But I'm referring to running there in the summer when its 105+ out. :(

Hey man, after checking out your vid I think I know your car.
Did you get it from a guy that lived down in Deep Ellum area on Clover street?

[yeaseth]

yup, I got it for 500 bucks did you look at it too?

so is a welded diff a major pita for a DD?

Would like to know the same

[xwill112x]

Welded diff's are fun but get old as they cause oversteer to quickly on the street. Especially with a big rear sway bar. Just stick with a LSD unless you like it slideways.

[Exodus_2pt0]

Driving in the rain with a welded diff sounds like suicide.

[yeaseth]

yup welded diffs make driving interesting, I have an LSD(3.91s) I might put back in but it doesn't always lock up perfectly so I might sell it and get a different one to put in, If any of you guys want a worn 3.91 to use or rebuild let me know
