May not get through IVA with a welded diff. Pretty undriveable on the road if welded, it'll wash out horrendously, then you'll need loads
of right foot to go round corners/roundabouts. Great fun for 5 minutes but it gets boring when your tryin to park! and if plod see you goin sideways
then 'you're nicked' sunshine - they'll try to pin dangerous driving and a dangerously defective car so you'll lose your
license and possibly the car as well.
Can't use welded for racing, in fact apart from some stock car I don't think welded diff is legal in motorsport.
Use as it is until you can afford an ATB

ooh, i really hope you didn't ask if you should weld it up...
NEVER weld it up, unless its ONLY a drift car and goes to tracks on a trailer, it'll be shite for anyhitng else if you weld it up. its quite ok
to have an open diff!

if you weld the diff i can 100% guarantee darwin will come and get you.
look up videos of how a diff works then you will understand why welding them up is the route to death.

We all started with questions and this forum will always deliver an answer sometimes robustly but don't stop asking.
A 7 will go plenty sideways without welding or a LSD
The ATB, I have one ready to fit, is gentle in use, not dramatic, the Sierra viscous LSD again is a late locker, softer on the road, plate diffs an be
tuned with ramps plates and springs to get the lock where you want it.

If you do decide to weld the diff (not recommended) the best way for Hi torque application ( as published on here and a few other forums ) is to weld
it up
