Depends how far you want to drive. The oval is still around and if you keep it small I could set something up for you... problem is the distance.

Really? That would be amazing, but unfortunately, the 240sx I was planning on purchasing was taken off the market, so now I'm back to square one looking for a car, although I do have another one in my sights but it still wouldn't bE close to ready in timE for freedom moves.but once it is ready and if you decided to have a clinic id definitely be t here ...quick question once my car is ready ill be gointhrough a lot of tires ive been trying to figure outwat kind and wat size... Because my car womt be very powerful rite awayi wud think I shud get thinner tires just so its easier to break traction, bur I'm provably wrong lol.. Wat tyoe and size do u think I shud use oe wat kind do u use? Thanks for allthe help...

REESE... Im down for something small...
Seat time is the most important part to learning. Its all a matter of time before you get to a point that your happy with and then you progress from there.

You want to TRY to remove ALL of the Gear Oil that you can. Best method I've found was to let the diff drain for an hour or two to let as much of the oil out as possible and then to blast the spider gears with 2-3 cans of brake cleaner. The cleaner the gears are the better your welds will come out. From there it's just a matter of making sure your welds have proper penetration which can be problematic on lower powered machines since the gears are cast iron and require quite a bit of heat to weld. Most people use a torch to pre-heat the spider gears before welding. Once they're warm they weld like butter. Also, there are a bunch of ways to weld a diff, and some are stronger than others. The most common method seems to be to weld the spider gears together where they meet and call it a day. Some shops will add gussets to increase the holding capacity of the welds - this is pretty much the best way. See below for picture of gusseted diff. Also, there's the option of getting a spool. They're ~$400 or so.
