is this a rediculous idea, or is it ok to drive on the street with a solid differential? How tight of a radius can you turn before the car starts to hop around or whatever it does?

Yes,dangerous and not very friendly to axles.

 

I do it in my street turbo car, its not bad once you get used to it, but it is a little rough to make sharp turns. If you can handle an extreme clutch and pressure plate on the street and not complain, then you wont mind having a spool either, same amount of inconvenience.

 

What makes it so hard to turn?

Its like a solid axle....one wheel will make a tighter radius than the other on a turn....this is why most people use an LSD on the street...it makes up for the radius differences where a spool cannot

 

It's driveable, but puts alot of stress on your axles!

 

i also hear it makes it hard to parallel park...if so i don't see that inconvenience worth it on a daily driver.

 

hell i used to drive with a open DP with my turbo gsr everyday for work and everything for over 4 months with a extrem pressure plate and disk and no ps with 20 psi of air in my tires and it was fine for me i just got alittle larger on the arms and shoulders

 

im 17, turbo integra, no ps, 350mm sparco wheel,no ac, no cruise, open shorty rev hard dp, extreme pp four puck, hasport 80a drag mount, bfg's...

 

Can you really compare no ps to a welded diff? I've never had power steering, but I can only imagine a welded diff. would make it worse. Now you guys are talking about an open DP; I think I would be able to handle that or at least an e-cutout.

 

o wait, forgot the most improtant thing, Prodrive spool...

broke my godam stage I driveshaftshop.com axles...

 

ive also never had a car w/ a/c or p/s my cars have also had act 6 puck
(act = another cracked tranny)) clutch master stage 5 (to hardcore) clutchmaster stage 4 (just perfect) w/ no problems anyways i asked my friends who builds trannys about running a welded diff and he said it is not streetable what so ever. This guy knows his **** . If u do it let me know how it turns out

 

i knew a few people who ran welded diffs on the street, but they just wound up breaking the spider gears everytime.

 

its streetable...., but i have another tranny for street..
