Breathing in all that tyre smoke will give you cancer

[MattT]

Weld the diff and use the £££ you've saved from not buying an LSD to goto drift days and buy tyres!

Welder is the cheap skate option anyway I bought SH LSD and gone through the trouble of getting it rebuilt and fitted. Best part of the E30. No way woul I swap it for a welder. Anyway isn't drifting with a welder that bit easier than with LSD ?

Haha! Well a welder isnt the cheap skate option. And its not easier or harder, just different when you get amazing.

I look at it this way, spend the cost of the car on a diff or get the one in it welded up and spend the rest on driving the car.

Driving the car wins every time.

Which is still the cheap skate option = welding open diff

Car is not really drivable with a welded diff on the road. I know some people do but wouldn't.

It ain't that bad.

I've drove a few cars with welded diffs and never found it bad at all.

[Simon13]

but its majorly council. I just laugh at them when trying to park up, it makes you look a cock fact. And people who know nothing about cars think its broken, which it is

Why does drifting attract people with no money?

[rob0r]

Welders perform perfectly for drifting and they're cheap, if drifting is what you want to do then it doesn't make sense to pay anymore for an lsd which will likely perform worse. You could either refresh or modify a standard bmw lsd or buy something like a kaaz and that's a lot of money when welders do the job.

People who state they're dangerous on the road 99% of the time have never tried. People who have driven one and still say that have driven a car with underlying problems or aren't probably fit to drive in the first place. Contrary to popular belief they are extremely predictable and at speed you don't know it's there.

Drifting attracts people with little money as it has low entry costs and is great fun. Can you explain why that's a problem for you?

E30zone and drifting, yawn

I like drifting but chose to go for a proper LSD over a welder for legal and safety reasons from what others have said on forums and I don't want that low speed parking noise.

Say one of the welds fails and your focked

[pony]

Seems like in terms of which is easiest to drift is

1. Welder
2. LSD
3. Open

So learning on LSD will make it miles easier when driving a welder.

I like drifting

Had a little sideways moment when there was a kink on wet road today and weren't even giving it the full beans.

You like drifting but your experience is having a twitchy rear, this is f00king priceless

PM me if you bin it, I'll be interested in the diff

All sensible fair points, quite refreshing to see on the zone . Insurers like Sky cover welders. True that you need to know what you're doing when welding one up, that said failures are rare and I can only recall one where the welds were awful.

This drifting video in a 325i is impressive, apart from the bit where he kisses the crash barrier at 1:55!

Impressive power for a 318is - 738whp, according to this:

[bdx]

How reliable though ?

[Speedtouch]

It's actually an M50B25 turbo, according to the comments on this clip:



Must say, it sounds like a six-pot to me.

[bdx]

Looks fun..!
