    Lot of variables, how much use is on it? Is it old? What make? Has it had oil changes?

    is it just a track drift car or would u like it on the road aswell ?
    if its just the track would welding the diff not be a better plan tighter won't loosein and cheaper
    not for a road car highly illigle

    If it's a road car I wouldn't be bothered tbh, I was under the impression it was for a drift car. Imagine driving around in weather like this with a diff :)

    Even many competition cars don't run a 2 way. A 1.5 way can do all the drifty stuff you'd ever need and is usable on the road....although you still have to be very much awake in the wet!:eek:

    As has been said though, its far too vague a question to say if its a good idea or not.
