just curious.i am not after comments about how stupid it would be,i just want to hear from somebody that has done it.

 

I have one in the rear axle of my jeep. It makes noise when I go around corners. I would think it would make steering a bitch if it was in the front axle.

 

I used to run one in my hatch. Didn't mind it too bad, just squeeled going around turns because the wheels are turning at the same speed when they don't want to be.

 

i have a 91 hatch with a b20vtec
i installed a richmond racing spool dam it is a bitch at times, but it is worth it to me because i get some bad *** launches know!!!!
turning is hard at times hell i can't even make a u-turn any more going around the block doesn't bother me though
you also better learn to change axles because i am going on my forth passenger side axle. its all right i have a lifetime warrenty

 

I had a welded diff which was basically the same thing. The only time it really sucks is your turning from a stop. Coming out of a driveway sucks.

 

i just broke another axle
i should stop getting them from AUTOZONE!!!!!
HA HA HA HA HA HA

They ever ask you what your doing to them?

 

i also had a welded diff in my turbo b16 da.
it was a bitch at first, but you get used to it.
it would have been easierif i had ps.

i think next car will have an lsd.....should still get a pretty good launch.

 

i actually try to go to a different autozone each time.
there are 10 within 15 minutes of me.
what do they really know!!! all they know is what is in there computer!!!!
they know nothing!!!! i buy a lot of parts from there because of there life warrenty
what after market company offers that??? none

 

Why is it really hard when turning from a stop? What does the car want to do?

 

it wants to go streight.
remember with an open diff, or an lsd the wheels are not always locked. they can spin at different speeds when going around corners unlike a spool or a welded diff.

one wheel has to break loose to spin at the different speed required. lots of poping, chirping, and jerking. tons of fun....i will run a welded dif again in the future.

 

Will have one for next season very cheap alternitave i dont think i will mind it i have driven a FWD car with a spool it wasn't that bad just a bitch when going very very slow around turns

 

just use the momentum you have built.
you just have to learn how to drive with one and its not bad at all.
like i said, i will have a welded diff in my next car, just like my last.......its cheaper than a spool

Will welding the spyder gears hold up to 550+ hp?

 

i dont know.
un fortunatly i dont have to worrie about that any time soon.
my next car is going to be all motor
i just cant afford another turbo set-up any time soon, and a turbo car as a daily driver in vegas heat just isnt practicle.
when i have more money coming in......then i will get there

i dont know for you though, maybe look into it.
when my friend did mine it was pretty solid.
he said he has never seen one break.

 

I do, and it frankly sucks. Sometimes you will find yourself doing K-turns in traffic because you cant make a hard right turn. It is, however, very effective at the track, and to me, thats all that matters.

 

im rockin a Prodrive spool and DSS axles. biatch in traffic, but like 60-1 said, its very effective @ track

 

where have you guys found a good(best) price on these. I've heard of the prodrive and tci but not much of the others. Going in a cable tranny for my somewhat street car. worth a try for now, then i'll dish out for the quaffe in a hydro tranny.

What the hell is a K turn?

 

Im pretty sure it means he cant make the turn so he has to reverse, then go again.

 

three point i'd guess.

 

hmmmm..... welded diff. well i have a diff and welder. maybe ill weld it together
does anyone have any instuctions to do this. my next car will be a track only car (well ill take friends for a drive to scare the **** outta them ) and i'm pretty poor so an lsd is out for the time being. i was gonna pegleg the sohc as long as i can. ill be launching on slicks with traction bars.
thanks
burke
