Are you going to be drifting or doing some real hardcore action? If so...dont even think of getting a welded rear end because it will Fck up in a couple of runs.

going around corners on the street would suck

having both tires turning at same speed as they bounce and chirp around the turn

i know someone on the carolinanissans.com board that has this done. he says that while it's pretty awesome for drifting, something as simple as navigating a parking lot is a bit of a hassle.

I'd imagine it would be dangerous if it ever rained.

Well there you have it. Raine reminding you about, uh... rain.

I thought I'd mention weather because when I was a kid I always wondered why my dad wouldn't drive his 68 Mustang if it was raining outside... years later I learned that it was because he had a posi on it

saving up may be hell, but in the end look at what you get? TWO EVEN TIRE MARKS ON EVERY ROAD
