Hey all,
found this nice realy realy steep driveway today
handbreak up, wheels spinning, smoke everywere

go to look at the mark and theres only one

is there any lsd that would go in a 1st gen or has anyone tried to weld there diff locked?

thanks
Scott

yer there is a company i know of that make LSDs for gen1s there highly favoured on this forum :bowrofl:

but does it really matter that u can only spin one wheel?? i always start off spinning both but after a few seconds the drivers side spins more depends what angle you on and so forth

ide weld it, its not worth paying for a torsion or clutch diff for a old car which isn't going to be used for rally or track use. 1st gens have good enough CV's to deal with a locked diff

welded diff.... is ok if u wanna die on the street! My 1 way lsd is bad enough in the wet, good luck trying to drive a street car with a welded diff. I had a mate with a welded diff in his VL, wrapped it around a pole after 3 days with it. Just unpracticle and dangerous

don't forget the car is fwd. my sigmas welded diff is bad enough, but thats offroad. fwd locked diff. yeesh, hate to see that in action :confused:

my drivers side wheel wont spin, lol, thanks for the help, looks like im genna be stuck with this then,

although how much would this company want for a lsd?

have you guys ever fishied a rwd car with a open diff and then a tight lsd? because a tight lsd is much more predictable and safe to do it with. why is a welded diff unsafe :nuts: they are just hard to turn in car parks thats all

yeh well a magna is a FWD so who gives a crap about fishing! Welded diffs are the most unsafe thing alive! and thats why they r illegal! Instead of trying to find cheap quick fixes do it properly if u really wanna get 2 wheels spinning

but its not worth the 1750 for a diff and then more for fitting and shimming of a lsd unless the car is used for competition.

yeah i dont think an LSD is worth looking into until u have alot of power getting to the wheels in the first place. be happy u can spin the one wheel.

agreed on both parts, but don't be stupid in welding the diff....

Limited Slip Differential $1,480.00 Cusco Helicol LSD Price can vary

you could buy another magna for that. hehe

another magna? well the 2nd gens go for around $4000 or so and the 3rd gens start at round $9000 for a TE auto. so which magna are u gunna buy for $1400? lol

yer probally but to drive a car with a lsd would be better then just another magna

mm yeah a bit high for a car i was giving, rebuilding everything in it over the next few months as no licence as of week after next, and i could buy around 14 1st gens for that if i looked hard enough lol
