Welded, thanks! Had a supra torsen and it was awful to drift on. Barely ever locked up.

Its not usually raspy at like 4000rpm but I was revving it up to redline so you all could hear it stretch its legs **** is loud tho.

Don't worry, only 80,000 miles on the car and I warmed it up before recording

Well I used to have a supra tt auto torsen and it sucked to slide but was amazing for the street. Locked hard straight line and pulled so good, def streetable. The welded diff is amazing to slide, it does all the work. However, it kinda blows around town. My brother complained it was too bumpy around turns and sometimes it feels strenuous on the gearbox. Id recommend it if you wanna drift tho

I welded my diff and it's not horrible driving around, the worst it chirps is when parking.

Your car looks good I agree.

I need to get on this carbon fiber weight reduction business, your car's looking good with em. Spinning in an sc is an initiation into a never ending backwards slide (for my noob ***)

For the welded though, the tire chirps def catch attention when you're trying to park. not awesome when all you can think is "OMG STOP LOOKING AT ME, I JUST CAME TO GET GROCERIES"
