while at the wrecker looking for a replacement h190 axle i grabbed myself a spare diff centre also

why?, becuase i have welded up the old centre for a bit of twin spin action

i'm sure something will break as a result, and as i joke i thought i'd ask what people think will go first

drivetrain consists of, a15 twin turbo, lightened flywheel, heavy duty a15 clutch (pbr/daikin), stock a12 gearbox, custom tailshaft but with stock ends, h190 vanette diff

so will it be axles, will it be the gearbox, who knows

im gonna pick up a celica box and dellow bell soon, so if the box goes im covered

the car should be a hell of a lot quicker off the mark now

if your asking why i did it?, because talking to my brothers about it and after a long discussion we were like, well none of us has really ever driven a car with a welded diff and we all get mixed messages about using one, hell why not try it myself and see, i mean it's free to do other than loosing a $50 centre if i dont like it

my money is on axles becuase of the welded centre...

although i would have thought the a12 box would have retired by now with the tt setup...

get it to the 1/4 mile with some decent rubber... and hope for a few good passes without breakages with ur new non slip diff..
im interested to see the times

I think the A12 gearbox sounds like the weakest link ,

although after a few attempts at reverse parking your patience with the locked diff might start to wear a bit thin.

Welded diffs can let go at the axle too. I've seen axles let go at the wheel end too.

So if you find yourself skidding along on 3 wheels, you might break something more than the driveline.

So please be careful on the street. There is a reason why locked diffs are illegal on the street...and it's not just because of the skidding noise when you turn corners.

seeing as those its a stock gearbox, ill say that.
second guess would be something in the diff, ie axels, center and so on

I think the heart of the person you race will break first....cause they will be devastated by the twin Hair-dryer A15 launching off the line to Victory!
