Most are scared off by the weight and lack of steering angle.

I am currently under research, detailing ways to get more angle about of our beasts.. FC rx7 guys are in the same boat, except they have aftermarket.. SHrugsss

+1 Weight balance as well. :]

It's possible, but it's harder to drift double wish bone cars than most McPherson Strut cars.....most of the time....Because of the steering angle and how the steering re-acts. Plus, if your open diff or your LSD diff is worn out, it makes it Even Harder. I wonder what a 2-Way diff would do in our cars? :D

stance has a "super angle kit" for our cars. i think it gives you more angle and lets you adjust the camber a little more.

lol 2way diff would be nothing but spinning wheels and burned rubber

Sweet! I didn't know stance had these! :D

Spinning wheels and burned rubber = Drifting LOL

I had one in my 240. A clutch kick became LESS dramatic, compared to the open diff.... ROFL

Welded != 2-way. A 2-way diff is a LSD, but instead of only acting during applied torque (acceleration), it will also lock/differentiate during deceleration as well. The welded diff is permanently locked, no matter what. Neither wheel can ever spin faster or slower than the other, and it's a downright dangerous thing to be driving on the street. One oil slick is all it took to total a local 240; one wheel spun, the other spun with it, resulting in a total loss of traction and a quick trip into a cement barrier @ 45mph. That said, welded diffs have their place on the track. But that's about it; there's NO reason to run one on the street.

Back OT: Awesome rainy day drifting...even the wrecks are epic as hell. That mk3 looks awesome, and I'm not complaining about the sweet s14's and the GTR, either :D
