Not that I'm complaining or anything... but I bought the car bone stock and I've done mutliple burnouts to see if I had a LSD and it leaves two equal length marks each and everytime, both in dry and wet weather.

Was it ever an option on the base model?

not a factory option. Only models with ABS, which were usually SE or LE. May have been installed by dealer, or previous owner.

no you dont
90s NEVER had it from dealer
NEVER

the original owner/previous might have added it though
but 90s NONE had VLSD, not even SE models

haha... ok well I finally got off my ass and did the "wheels up in the air / spin a wheel test" and when I turn one wheel... the other one does nothing...

so either I'm crazy or my car is possessed...

but 3 out of the 3 burnouts I did came out with 2 skid marks... strange...

thats nothing unusual
its been done before
if the other does nothing, sounds like open diff

but all in all
the end result is 90 NEVER had VLSD as a option or definate
89/90 NEVER had vlsd offered

plenty of open diff cars will leave two black marks... not as consistantly as yours though. And if its an older open VLSD it may not spin both tires if one is getting no traction at all.

my open diff on my 92 coupe used to act like that also, it would always leave 2 marks and even did ok drifting, but when I swapped in a vlsd it was a very noticable difference. My old s14 with open diff would never spin both in the dry, so I guess open diffs can vary alot.

i did the same test on my ae86 and i have to say i got the same results. But my hachi DID have lsd. i guess in an open diff the other wheel is supposed to move in the opposite direction? IONO. All i do know is that you cant trust that test.
