For road rallying? Surely a welded diff is not what you want

I think it's debatable in terms of how the car acts. It'll be more sketchy but with the right setup you'll get good sliding control and 50% more grip under launches. As for the regulations though...

I have to agree.

For drifting would be OK,unsuitable for road rallying IMHO TBH.

They are a prick on tarmac unless you have full traction loss around a corner. shortens your increasing life too. good up take on launch though. for road rally I'd want a LSD

welding the diff up is good if you want to go sideways as it will not
slip for s**t but if you want to go fast and race people then
probably best not to weld it

hope that helps
