my e30 is definitely getting a extreme diff and a hydro ebrake for sure! the torque makes it ideal but current lsd is shockingly crap

i dont want a welder i prefer 2 ways, as it will mainly be a road car and it has enough understeer at the moment with the s38 up front
iver driven s14s with welded diffs and mine has a nismo 2way and its soooo much better
kaaz and cusco do one for the e30 but it will basicaly cost a grand which is a lot, so welder is the way forwards for e30 drift diffs i reckon
may just get my e30 one plated up

Yeah man as said get to santa pod. Probably the best place left to learn to drift in the uk legaly. Lots of run of space and friendly people to help you out. If you like it and can hold a drift pretty well i'd then suggest getting to teeside. Well worth the trek and probably one of the best places to drift in the uk.
