I bet this will be on Crime Call...
RE: Welded diff brigade finally caught up with
Eh I own a twincam the last 7years and know most of the twincams in the country and I assure there is not one with a welded diff.the only ones ive ever seen is drift ones with a sr20 engine and the back axle is changed to a vannette or liteace axle to handle the power and lsd are hard to come by for them
RE: Welded diff brigade finally caught up with
I had a welded diff before and drove fine dry or wet. Noticably different handling wise to the viscous LSD that was in it but still plenty capable of being driven in a normal manner. It's about the driver not the car. An M5 is more dangerous than a welded diff but if you drive it normally it'll be fine.
Not that I think they're ideal, in some cases it makes sense where an LSD isn't available and the cars only for messing but I wouldn't like 1 daily. Some people on here on very high horses being very stereotypical :surprised:

What a ridiculous statement, you understand the dynamics of a car driving around a corner right?
There is no situation where it makes sense in a road environment.
Someone who welds a diff is someone who is too cheap to fit the proper equipment in their car, if they're too cheap for a diff you can bet that ethos will be seen throughout the car but the main point will be tyres, you didn't weld your diff for grip.
So you have a car that doesn't want to go around a corner with tyres that don't want to stick to the road, with someone who is arrogant enough to think it is safe, it's a recipe for disaster and it will be an innocent third party minding their own business who pays the price.

A point well made.

Sure, but they were on closed tracks.

Really, the Radical Sr8 has a welded diff?? that is excellent news.
As for the pikes peak car I'd imagine it's a rally car of some sort with probably an active locking diff? I'm no engineer but I would say that is slightly different.

Well spool and non production ;)
