Daily Driving A Welded Diff - THINGS YOU MUST KNOW! 

The unalloyed joy you take in even small things -- chirping tires -- is very entertaining. Thanks for posting.

I find you have more grip in the rain under standard circumstances with a locker. I also laugh at everyone who goes on about how hard the car will be to drive. My ex (not a car girl at all ) thought it was hillarious when her Ute was broken so I lent her the missile to go to an agricultural show. She said she's never stopped twenty people by trying to reverse a trailer before. Had no idea what everyone was looking at as she can reverse a trailer. She realised everyone was listening to the locker. Half were like what's wrong with that car other half were like fuck yeah. A 4 foot 11, 50 something kilo bird in a vs with 4.11's , t5, a cam and trailer full of goats chirping around 😂 She was worried about borrowing came back and was like. " I dno what everyone complains about. It absolutely pissed down and proper utes were getting stuck. It covered the trailer in mud but I just put it in second and crawled out of there at about 1500 rpm after everyone told me I couldn't. "

i have one on my skyline, and the attention that it gets man its alot, when you are certain that you arnt going to skid the car for an amount of time, you can run radials, the cherping is not as bad if you want to keep a lower profile (kinda hard with a straight piped car), but it will stress the components and understeer is increased more than if you had stockies on.

Also it’s hard to find a good working lsd for an old falcon these days it’s much better to lock the diff as it guarantees both wheels to spin 100% of the time and will never single out

The bad - tire wear, axle twist, "interesting" on slippery surfaces, harder on drive line parts, once welded you diff is not serviceable.. you can't unweld it. The good? Got a door slammer with a hot engine? Do it! Great off the line traction and like dude said, easy drifting fun. My experience - My 84' Cutless got about 3500 miles before my axles started looking like twizzlers.

New to ya channel, farken love it Got an au xr6 here in NZ me self Keep up the interesting content mate Ya got a good thing going here ❤️

Locking differential. Best of everything. Or an ARB Air Locker if you want to be fancy.

Im back again. Time stamp 0:09 qnd ive already liked because its Rex and all his videos are nothing short of perfect.

Funny you post this now Rex because I just bought an R180 beefy rear diff for the Forester and I’m going to weld the centre diff AND the rear diff and go rear wheel drive.

'locked diff' bro I came for the mr2.. it's gone 🥺 you're still very entertaining though man, good on you for making a go of it

Another thing you should’ve mentioned with an LSD when you tried to Drift it they can play with you Twin single twin and make it spin out If you can’t catch it 👌🏿👍🏿

thanks for the info, helps for when I get a car and maybe a drift car

All mighty au falcon!

get yourself some nolathane bushes because the spool is gonna chew up your stock bushes and will end up snaking all over the road when on and off power... besides that enjoy the skids

In an nb miata, my daily wheels get about 3500 to 4000 miles before the rears need changing. I only do about 3000 miles a year so its not bad at all.

Just curious, does it gonna bent the rod that connects the diff to the wheels?

If you want more stability you need to weld the suspension too, get rid of that useless bouncing of the springs. And if you're tired of using up tires, just use wooden wheels, the good old fashioned way.

That sound would drive me crazy. But it's worth it 😈

I didn't learn anything new but I'll still chuck a like for my boi.. ;)

I watched a video of another bloke with an AU ute (Howlers Garage) and he spent a lot of time installing a mini spool. It just seems like spools aren’t worth it. They are “reversible”, but take a lot of effort to install + uninstall compared to just welding it. The diffs are easy to find as they are in AU’s and BA’s also. I reckon weld the diff and if you get sick of it just get a cheap diff centre from the wreckers/fb marketplace that isn’t welded and put that in the car.

If u have a welded diff, can u still go fast in the free or is more dangerous?

great explanation

Nice work and well done 8.5\10😄😄😄😄😄🚗🚗

good to know. my jeeps rear diff is failing maybe ill just weld it and fwd

My limited slip in my crown Vic won’t spin both wheels around a corner but will spin both in a straight line. Can you weld an LSD?

I’m going back on stocks so I can daily a welded diff. Tires for my aftermarket wheels are $250 each where my sticks I can get for $25 each

So your trying to have a posi rear end?

thanks a lot

my skidmate kicks out fine and it has open diff

also no way you are almost at 40k subscribers. legit feels like you were at 30k like 1 week ago

I want to soo bad, but I'd definitely get caught knowing my luck 😂😂😂❤❤❤

Seems to have same issues with mini spool diff

It is what it is 😂😂😂

Respect the diff.

Skids...and getting yourself unstuck from snow. Been thinking about a mini spool, as i need to change my diff fluid anyways.

Have you ever thought about putting a turbo on the AU

Bought a e36 328i and I can barely find any open differentials at all. Closest one is wrong ratio 2.93 and I want a 3.15 but I only find new ones with LSD for around $2600~ Welding it is. Also it’s not like I want to weld it but the gears are about ti give up and if I weld them they’ll won’t break, according to the mechanic.

I have an limited slip diff in my civic and every time I leave an intersection I do a skid 🤣👀 my mate has a welded diff in his commodore and it doesnt make that tyre noise at all haha

Nice👌

post more skid vids!

If you have a tiny pickup with a welded diff it’s violent

Surly just pop a set already for the boys 🇲🇽🇲🇽

cool car

👌

Lmao i did delivery driving with my Lexus gs300 with a welded diff and I went through tires every 2 weeks just driving

noice

Things You Must Know !! Just sends bro... Just sends..

If you want to change your tires more frequently ye you should. Your suspension and bearings will experience more stress also. More fuel waste, more stress on the gearbox. No good for a daily. Zero advantage.

I have a 07 350gt but don’t know if I should weld the diff or not 🥲

forgot tru-track

I eight that car

I thought you would just turn up the music to eliminate the noise.

I wish mine just cherped, the whol car feels like ots bouncing and xlunking all over the place, mx5 nb

Air locker but money i guess

Got my 2.5inch exhaust on My AU finally an my exhaust is like yours it's rubbing on the guard 🤣🤣

what about a cop pulls u up and makes u do a u turn

All fun until you get bind up n snap a axle

Lincoln lockers eat axles.... That all you need to know.

the cops will love watching this another au off the road soon just makes mine go up in value weld the world

No upload for awhile? Everything okay?

So all I learnt is to get a welded diff 😂

0:43 are you sure about that

I got an LSD for my AU! It was $149 at Jolleys in Dandy!

Not as bad as I thought it would be! Everyone always says welded diff is like impossible to drive on the street…

no money pit

Posi track works better

You forgot to mention that a locked rear end will cause understeer.

Lockdown ending? Not with Daniel Andrew's

This is all about exhibitionism. If you want (or need) to draw attention to yourself, try mooning. At least, the car in not liable to damage and it'll give your arse and balls an airing. Possible downside, maybe the cops might take an interest. Give it a go, guys!

Why didn't you just spend $20 for a phantom grip. It works like a welded diff without welding.

Cars are garbage lol.

"Locked diff" "Locked diff" "Locked diff" "Locked diff" "Locked diff" stop calling it a WELDED DIFF whens its a SPOOL, just call it a LOCKED DIFF

Well thas a trash car bro
