How to weld the Diff

Re:How to weld the Diff
Uh oh! Somebody needs more traction! :P
Never done it, but from what I have heard from the people who have, it sucks. I wouldn't mind doing it, but I doubt my POS welder could lay a good enough bead to hold them together.

Re:How to weld the Diff
Trust me...unless u wanna go only in a straight line, don't weld it. I did one for a friend of mine with an 89 hatch...we trailered the car to the track, ran a few passes no prob...then he broke his passenger side axle tryin to turn the car around. If you're drivin the car every day, don't even bother. Just save the money from all the broken stuff it would cause, and buy a the real deal.

its very hard on the drive train but its kinda fun draws atteintion when you turn in a parking lot and your tires chirp in low speed turns. as far as being limited to a straight line i found that my crx was a bit better at making turns after i welded the diff

Re:How to weld the Diff
First: The metal must be hospital clean. Then you must choose what resource you have, i.e. what type of machine you'll use. I'd recomend TIG welding, cleaner and won't hide porosity. Fire up the machine, weld it up. DO NOT COOL THE METAL WITH OIL,WATER, OR ANYTHING. It will harden it. This is bad. If you don't know how to weld get a book or pay someone to do it. Oh yea get ready for broken parts.
