    Great Video and series, absolutly amazing work only just found this gem of a channel!!!
  • @mrmalavey1098
    😂😂😂 absolutely loved this video, nothing better than trying show how bad a welded diff is and and you can barely see the difference in the video. Also hilarious watching you tey to say its shit then having the most genuine smile on your face when going around the roundabout 🤣 Finally can i just say whoever welded that diff did an amazing job, best looking welded diff ive seen in a long time 💪
  • @datski_live
    It would be cool if you can make a tutorial videos, how to driftm how not not break the car and how to prepare car for it. I can help you with that, I have experience in videomaking for the youtube and possibly you are installing my kit now =)
  • @datski_live
    Nice video, the main suggestion from LSD kit user - try not to do clutch-kicks on 5-6k rpm =) I broke my diff totally with that. PS In that trading center my car with lsd was making a lot of tires noise

    Good video except I didn't like the fact that the camera didnt show how LSD does on turns long enough, literally 2 seconds and they changed the camera from the wheel and when it had the welded diff they kept the camera on the wheel for a much longer time. At 7:55-7:58 you can see what I'm talking about.

    Hello guys , thanks for the video and im really interested about your product.I'm driving a bmw e92 320d daily and intensivly and im making between 30-40k kilometers range per year.Most of them are on a highway and my question is : Is there any chance of slipping the wheels with normal highway speed like 120 kmh to max 150-160 kmh on a highway with a little sharp turns, is this risky.That's the only reason why im still wondering and haven't bought them yet :D.Is the diff kit safe enought for my usage ?? Thanks :) in advance
  • @friguy4444
    Great topic and thank you for making this video and the ones to come! I highly doubt that someone that doesn't know what will happen when a diff is welded would weld a diff. So I also don't think someone that doesn't know what to do if their rear end over steers is really something that is a concern in that case. Not that every one is perfect in their driving or skills at all times. I am wondering what the traction control can actually do in the case of a welded diff? Since it can't brake the single wheel if it's slipping like I understand BMW DTC does or maybe it's the DTS that does that more? LOL. I 'm not sure. Maybe it would make things a bit more unpredictable if you have the DTC left on? I'm not sure. I guess that's one thing to find out in your series here.
  • @martekjk2210
    Hello, Good Video 👍 does the car in the Video have a conversion kit or full LSD?
  • @meizind6555
    Do you make one for the e90 320i? my diff type is 168LW but on the website i can only find 168MM and 168K!
  • @snoop9
    which lsd diff i should buy for 2003 sedan e46 320d 6 gears?
  • @kenchia4715
    I'm having a 1jzgte swapped E46 with 330i rear diff, will this LSD conversion kit able to withstand the 1jz torque ? I am running on 455nm torque now
  • @ayoblake875
    Can I get one of these LSDs for my TVR Chim? 😊
  • @rodrigolembke2556
