I'll have to investgate further, as I said I thought it was a VLSD and not having a welder to make up driveshafts and not really beind confident enough to take a diff apart and put it back together I think I'll stick with what I've got.

you don't need a welder to make up the shafts, just a grinder.

You forgot to mention that an S13 VLSD is £80. A plated diff is £500 plus. Even 2nd hand plated diffs go for that money.

So for the cheapyness of the VLSD its very worth it in my opinion and will solve the pathetic single wheel spin when booting it out round bends.

but in this instance, you definitely get what you pay for don't you think. Sure, at first it'll be fine and dandy, but once it wears out, it'll be crap. Then again, I'm speaking from a motorsports point of view of autocross and drift. So it may not matter to you as much as it would for people doing one of those.

I can't see who would spend £600 on a plated diff (the price of an average s12), they would just weld it for drift.

This diff from a grip and occasional wet weather drift perspective is brilliant. I never had anyone say it was a waste of £80 when i installed one last year.

Things need to be in relation to why people buy the s12 (coz its cheap for what you get), so its best to keep things cheap...

unless its on mine and then i don't do cheap
