buahaha lmao anywho the hicas will have a vlsd Variuale Limited Slip Differential i`d get a hicas lock bar tho iif your gonna swap it out as you will need a new power steering pump for the hicas (unless not used) and new lines you could weld the open diff? ---

The Hicas diff is LSD, and usually LSD is a must when getting into drifting. Check to see if it would mate to your stock driveshaft. I’m not sure if the ABS/LSD driveshaft is the same size as your driveshaft, definately something to look into. ---

Viscous\* And what are ur plans with the car? Pure track car or a street car u Will occasionally take to the track? What are your planned future mods? These things will help ppl to better advise u. U don’t want a welded diff on the streets. Its annoying as fuck and u’ll end up gettn rid of it. I would say a perfect street/track diff is 1.5 way. Not crazy aggressive and it’ll work great. 2 way is where its at but a lot off ppl would say not for street car but I know a few guys that have em in street cars and love it. If. Can tolerate ur rear end chattering a bit and wheels squakin, go with 2 way My $0.02 ---

But really though, you can’t really ask such a generic question; everyone has their own oppinion of whats best. You will be better of using the search feature, cross refrencing ideas and then decide on part yourself. for the above discussion, I agree 1.5 is the best for track and street. ---

There won’t be much “drifting” when your rolling in 4X4 status. If you don’t have some sort of suspension work done, It will be less like “sliding” and more like “body roll” Grab some reputable coils first, maybe even a front and rear strut bar for rigity, then see if you can get your hands on a non-hicas subframe + a nice LSD. Have fun, $0.0002 ---

^ agreed, grab coils, or atleast springs and struts, get rid of hicas and get some form of lsd, whether that be welded, vlsd or proper 1.5/2 way all depends on your budget. ---
