well i reckon im the happiest person alive today....
i looked under my car and noticed my gearbox, and i was like what the ****, so i went and looked at my other wrecked magna that is completely stock. and the gear box is different, then i noticed the drive trains were different so i said to myself, it could be lsd. so i took it up the road, to do the first burnout. anyway i held it for ages until it was smoking, but from both wheels....????
i reversoed up jumped out and noticed a black line on either side... but it must be lsd to do that????

Not always, if the conditions are right, a normal diff can spin both wheels.

Got any pics of what you're talking about?

No magna, barre the ralliart, came out with an lsd factory.

if you jack it up and get one wheel off the ground and gearbox in neutral. then try to spin the free wheel by hand. if it turns with the gearbox then it isn't lsd if it turns but only with a lot of force and it spins and grabs again then it's probably lsd.
you can make both wheels spin in a FWD burnout by flicking the steering wheel back and forth and changing which side is leading. but not if one wheel is spinning much quicker than the other.

my engine will always spin two wheels, it tends to happen when single spinners are old (fwd only) only way you can tell is to jack the front and spin the wheels, if one spins one way and the other moves the other then you dont have a lsd
