dont worry about your english its alot better than some english people :lol:
and it depends what you want the car to do it
welding the diff is mainly done for drifting but can do alot in other forums of motor sport
ive been running one in my daily 1.4 for about 4months now and its not a problem not broke a thing
and it gets abused daily hope that helps

A lot of thanks for your answer 340pw
I have bouhgt the car to learn to make drift, but now volvo likes me a lot. I want to use the car in asfalt and I am thinking about to make a rally car wiht it, wiht a 2.0 engine from a R21 or similar.
Actualy I use the car sometimes to go to work, but I have other 2 cars, it isn´t a problem.
Any other opinion?

Best regards, Rubén.
