so there we go, for drifting/driving on 2 wheels/getting through floods - welded diffs FTW!
Haha bet that got some looks!

HORRID on the road, not like a rear one which is just slightly bad manners, far worse, epsecially for stuff like parellel parking.

For your use though, no problem at all as its just going to be a rear diff in your car anyway.
Yeah that's exactly it, it will be used as a rear diff just one that's in a FWD gear box. Haven't ever really investigated FWD 'boxes so wasn't sure if it would be as straight forward but seems it is.
