Any racers out there race/drive with a welded diff or a spool before? Does it work well, or is an LSD "safer"? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)

mine is welded...
I should mention, that they aren't so great on a dirty track or in the rain. This because you are balancing on the very edge of traction, and you purposely throw the car into a drift and then catch it by flooring the throttle when you feel you've drifted enough to make the corner. so, in a low traction situation, the tires don't like to "Re-Catch" themselves or stop their slide and this technique doesn't work so well. I know of multiple 914 race cars that have run welded diffs. In fact, my race shop sells them for I believe 100$ I choose to buy one, since I certainly didn't want to trust my own welding skills.... and since I do trust my shops brant |
