ya, i have a welded 1.6 open diff.
worked really well for the 2 drift days i have done. its cheap, predictable and offers 100% lock. other than drift days, i wouldn't want one. i daily'd with mine for over a year maybe and it is just really annoying. Your car will hop/shake/chirp whenever you turn. I also did not like it for grip driving. i did an autocross with it and like robbie said, it made my car want to push (understeer) at turn in. Its also hard to say smooth if you are grip driving with a welded because your car will hop/shake/chirp during turning and upset the balance. --------------------    |
