Went drifting in my e30 for the first time.

wow ignorance truly is bliss in this thread.

Which shifter are you running?

[TopOfTheLine89]

Great, you're an idiot.

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.

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.

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.

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...

dude you have no idea, I went from living surrounded by great wheeling/rockcrawling to living with NOWHERE to wheel. wheeling here is driving through cornfields according to these people!

you could check out the badlands if you are in Purdue. Other than that there is turtle ridge on drummond island mi, which is a LONG way from you but I'm kinda fond of northern MI

[Funkmasta]

he used to live 45 minutes from some prime wheeling... isnt the badlands in South Dakota?

[DSP74]

Badlands in IN.

Where the real truck challenge was hosted. They are the guys who used to build the Sniper

Ah good deal. The FJ40s do like to slurp down the liquid gold, so, the closer the better for him, ha. :)

BTW, FJ40, you coming back to Portland after Purdue?

Since this thread is gay I don't mind taking it offtopic/


I used to have a 70 FJ40 that was stripped to the frame, along with a pile of parts, from a disk brake 2J era cruiser. Lost interest time/money and sold it all for a song.....since I've had a bunch of others trucks, K5's, Sammis etc.

nice find. i need to locate someone who wants to identify what bearing is shot on my 4.10 so I can use it with being able to hear the radio on the interstate, or sell it off.

there's some locals in indy who do that offroading stuff somewhere... indycarz.com and search.
