Do you mean weld both shafts together?

I'm assuming this is for drifting on a track? To do this for a road would be totally nuts, don't even think about it!

Yes this will be what he means. People have used this on the road.

I used my welded diff on the road, it's not bad at all, it's all urban myths by people who haven't been in a car with one. I'll find you a pic of my old diff.... This is not for a comfortable smooth car though, it will skip the wheels at low speed and kill tyres fast, just a warning.

So you don't have any probs going around corners and the like?

at low speed you will wheel will jump and skip all over the shop! mainly noticeable when parking etc

And then the weld breaks and you go nowhere.

My Brother welded the diffs when he was banger racing, back in the proper days of V6 Granadas, Cortinas and Triumph Dolomites. Ok they did get a lot of abuse, but you dont weld the diff to drive like an old granny.

Im not saying its a bad idea (I do have a welded diff for the local airfield ) but its not something Id do for a road car thats in everyday use.
