Went drifting in my e30 for the first time.

I really don't think tearing down and rebuilding a LSD would be tough at all. And there are parts available to do some mods while your in there, most importantly changing the ramp angles.......Fuck welding the diff.

refreshing isn't difficult at all:

this thread is ridiculous!

What do you care if i WANT a welded diff ? It was the Cheapest and easiest route available for me. All the reasons people mentioned for not going welded made me want a welded diff even more.

Because welded diffs are retarded. They promote understeer, which is the opposite of drifting. A limited slip differential will allow the car to initiate a turn and then apply power to both wheels when you add throttle, which if you know what you're doing certainly sounds like a drift to me...

Which shifter are you running?

oh z3 of course, helps keep the Rs up ya know.

Thanks, i just picked up an open 3.73 for 80 dollars and im gonna have it welded. Can always throw the 2.93 back in for winters.

LOL


wow. awesome.

OP get an lsd and shim it ;) you'll do fine. it just takes more work to drift an underpowered car, your m20 is up to the job though.

...makes my tail slide a little bit every time i turn (imagine rain and snow), but i love it 'cuz all i do is hit the gas after the apex and it corrects itself...

You've never actually driven a car, have you?

[rwh11385]

Learning to drift is stupid. Learning to drive, and then learning to drift is cool. BIG difference.

yeah, trial and error drifting is pretty much just fancy burnouts.

where's the vid of the guy rolling over that POS car and almost falling out the sunroof?

[VacMan]

dude are you really this fucking stupid? how is a skid plate going to help with oil starvation?
and you guys can talk shit all you want but what am i supposed to tell my friend with the bumps on his cock?

LOL. Pearly Papules FTL. Or so I've heard.

drift boner kids with their 240s and corollas weld their diffs because finding a factory clutch-type LSD in good condition is like finding a unicorn

we are lucky that clutch-type LSDs are so common in our cars, it makes them so much cheaper, and they work well enough for the beginner.

I would love to eventually switch to a 2-way LSD though.
