July 7, 201510 yr Looking at a 92 leggy fwd for a derby car. How hard would welding the front differential be?
July 7, 201510 yr Have to take the whole trans apart to get the diff out. It won't turn at all if you weld it.

July 7, 201510 yr Author https://annarbor.craigslist.org/cto/5109106818.html Car in question. Will be running next year, no minors allowed That does give me time to get the engine running. Hoping the kid didn't lose a bunch of parts
July 7, 201510 yr Author Get a awd legacy and do the diff lock switch mod then weld the rear diff. Wish I could, has to be stock besides the required mods
July 7, 201510 yr Proper weight balance will give you the best results. Limited slip and locking diffs will negatively affect cornering. The wheels need to rotate at different speeds when turning. If they don't, you lose traction because one wheel skids as it tries to turn the same speed as the other. Get the weight distribution even from left to right and you will not have trouble with one wheel slipping. Run a larger sway bar on the rear to allow more front suspension roll. This keeps the tires in contact with the ground, and will encourage the back of the car to rotate, giving you an oversteer effect.
July 7, 201510 yr I believe there's one or 2 aftermarket options for front LSD but, not 'stock'/OEM (that I know of...?) and not cheap/trivial to install. Seems like there was one on ebay I saw a long time ago..... might be some Aussie sandrails that run like that, not sure. check over at NASIOC too. Edited July 7, 201510 yr by 1 Lucky Texan
July 7, 201510 yr I guess there's some confusion. Do you have an AWD vehicle or a FWD Legacy. I think FWD went away about 1996? ebay has LSDs for the front diffs of Subarus from several hundred to $1500 or so. Not sure on application to your car's trans. Cusco, OBX, Quaife, maybe Giken... just need to email, research what fits that trans. here's a thread about the OBX - http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=700370&highlight=obx+diff Edited July 7, 201510 yr by 1 Lucky Texan
