NW TSI Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Hey I know this is a tranny section but the drivetrain section is locked. Are there any open rear bad that fit in our cars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedyquest Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Anything can be made to fit with work, but no there is not a bolt in option. Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komeuppance Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 The "drivetrain section" is locked because it's a place for posting tips and how to's. -Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasQuest Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Closest thing to "bolt in" would be a rear end from a challenger/sapporro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convette Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 why change the rear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NW TSI Posted April 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Want a welded so I don't risk the lsd unlocking on the bank and plowing head first into a wall at 60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komeuppance Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Weld an unwanted non LSD flatty diff... if you really want welded. -Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convette Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 That doesnt happen. A welded diff also makes you understeer if your trying to drive normal, and will surely snap your axels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NW TSI Posted April 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Thanks for answering my question Robert, is the gearing the same and should that bolt right in? Convette I don't daily this car, it's my track car now so that's not a problem for me, axles will hold too. Rolland Gallagher is a Local Formula drift driver with over 400 whp and he runs a welded, you can't beat the predictability of a welded differential and having the safety of a constant lock.

NW TSI Posted April 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 At our track our bank is very inclined and there is a certain spot where a stock LSD can't hold and you plow, seen way to many cars get totaled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghinckley68 Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) Want a welded so I don't risk the lsd unlocking on the bank and plowing head first into a wall at 60 Get a locking diff. Get a Dana 44 IRS and put a Detroit Locker in it. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/dtl-187sl16c/overview/ Edited April 27, 2013 by ghinckley68 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NW TSI Posted April 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Ok.. i'm not putting a solid axle under my car... it's not a truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghinckley68 Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) The Dana 44 has seen use in Chevrolet Corvettes and Dodge Vipers, Jaguars, Ferreis. This axle is referred to as a Dana 44 ICA or Dana 44 IRS. Some 1985–1996 Chevrolet Corvette C4 featured this axle. A rear transaxle was used starting with the Corvette C5. The 2005-06 Pontiac GTO, The Dodge Viper has always used a Dana 44 IRS setup. The majority of Corvette and Viper Dana 44 IRS set ups use a limited slip differential. Do some research its in a lot of sports cars and real race cars that dont have DANA 60s in them. Want to go fast on a track and dont want to weld the diff then get a locking differential. Turn up your nose all you want but the DANA 44 has been around for 80 years a reason. IT JUST WORKS. Its not as tough as a 60 but its one nice unit.

ghinckley68 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Guys you can get the DANA 44 in either straight with tubes our in and independent rear setup with out the tubes just a place to colt a set of shafts up too. It was one the first Independent Rear Suspensions out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
