Do I have lsd?
 
well my dad hopped into my car to move it and he popped the clutch and it barked both tires (it left black marks so im sure they both spun a lil)

If you have a USDM coupe and you think you have a factory installed VLSD, you are sadly mistaken.

i can get both tires to spin and leave nasty black marks too. and i have a 89 coupe with an auto and i KNOW i dont have lsd....yet lol

USDM 240's do in fact have VLSD's. They only came in the cars with HICAS, which are rare. It was also an option seperate from the HICAS, although almost no one got it. Look under the rear at the diff. If it has a vented surface and has an orange VLSD sticker, guess what, you got one. If not, nope, sorry, try again.

the ONLY usdm S13's with an option for HICAS (and thereby, lsd) were hatchbacks. that's what Jerome was getting at. Canadian coupes were the only in North America to feature vlsd's from the factory.;)

Thank you.

Didnt know that about the coupe not having HICAS. Wow, thats wierd, considering most people think of the coupe as being the sportier model of the two. Well, you learn something new everyday. Sorry for the confusion.

Sil40_Mayhem Feb 19, 2004 05:09 AM

ur right, now that i think about it. the coupe is lighter and stiffer than the hatch, so u'd figure it would have the HICAS/lsd option. makes me wonder what happened there...?:dunno:

okay so then why did both tires bark then??

Because, it just so happen to be an ideal situation for traction. Sometimes, even with an open diff, you'll do that.

okay thanx, cause i was wondering the same thing he was since eerytime i burn out i have 2 marks

Textbook way to check get the rear on jacks, spin rear tires. If both spin same way =LSD. Spin oppesite ways= No LSD.

I KNOW!! coupes are stiffer. one thing i don't get is people want to purposely get a hatchback to go drifting, like its required or something... a good example is the ae86 people what the hatchback (because of initial d) more instead of the coupe. for racing purposes a stiffer frame would be better. if takami drove a coupe people wouldn’t want a hatchback ae86. damn takumi wannabes.

sorry had to vent a little. When I got my 240 coupe people would like feel sorry for me because I didn’t get the all mighty hatchback. “cool you got a 240. awwwwww too bad its not a hatchback….” – friends
