So I don't see why you shouldn't be able to weld it.
I presume you realise this'll make it horrible to drive on the road. Good for drifting though :biggrin:

Good point well made. Don't weld up a LSD they are worth a few £'s, all the ratios are the same, so long as the open diff is from a manual. Stick an auto one in if you want greater acceleration but at a loss of top end and higher fuel usage.
