I had a friend try a trick on me telling me he had just got an MIG locker in his Corolla. MIG??? I hadnt heard of it but sounded right. Of course MIG as in MIG weld, a backyard weld job. lol. Try it on someone. I believed him as his Corolla had a VN v6 in it, and needed a locker.
For a Supra, you'd be crazy to put a locked set up in it unless all you do is race and dragstrip. The LSD is good.

We use welded up rear diffs in our dirt track cars, but we have to use a staggered set of tires to get it to roll through the corners easier, but the compromise is that is also has to go straight too. Try pushing a car with the rear welded up! It is almost impossible, especially trying to turn it and push at the same time. For drifting and driving in the mud all the time it is worth welding. Street driving, no way!
