Dont weld the diff. If you want something cheap and easy just get a Phantom Grip.. They cost 250 max

spider gears...


if you don't know where to weld them i'd say that you probably aren't qualified to weld them.

lol, definatly

btw, I wouldnt recommend a welded diff for street use, its a bit harsh on a fwd car.. Beau did it to his turbo b16a crx for awhile.

I would go for a spool kit baby..

i wish they made spool kits for dseries trannys.... you gota take the diffappart and weld all the spider gears, time consuming and you gotta know what exactly to weld..

you just put a weld on each spot where the spiders meet, so a total of 8 welds (4 on each side)

basicly the phantom grip puts extra load on the spider gears causing the to get extreamly hot, they get so hot that they loose thier clearnce on the diff pin when this happens the spider gears will start to freeze up on the diff pin causing it to spin when this happens your fucked.
Im sure jef has some pics still of his diff that the bunny dedstroyed.

Beau

ps after 3 months(1000+ miles) of street driving with a welded diff it should no signs on cracks or stress after about 500 miles and 10 launches the bunny grip was done.
