THIS WAS DONE ON PRIVATE ROADS
UNDER CONTROLLED CONDITIONS

thats a RWD burnout.....

[aimre]

Umm... no..... its from that silver car in the background.....
look at the turns in the mark..... could only make such small tight ones if the wheels that were spining could be controlled (ie FWD)

Doubt your car has LSD, reason you see both tyre marks is that the friction force on both tyres on the road are the same. If one tyre was bald or wet I dont think it will leave 2 tyre marks.

yeah, but i dont think the friction force would stay the same with the front swinging about. the weight would shift too much and 1 wheel would let go.
maybe a previous owner had LSD intalled?

Vti don't have LSD
EF3 and EF9 have LSD
EG6 and EG9 have LSD, I think.

[sivic]

yeah but peeps put in aftermarket LSD

[sheepo]

Jack the front of the car up...
Turn one of the wheels...
Tell us which way the other wheel turns... ;)

Not standard they dont. All for of your examples had them as an option. It wasn't limited to them either.

In terms of the EF8/EF9 - only the race edition (stripped down varient) had an LSD standard.

The EF Si also had it as an option, as did the 3rd gen AT Si.

what engine do you have in your 1993 Civic VTi sedan btw ?

[aimre]

SOHC vtec

[bennjamin]

even the EG5 ZC powered in japan came with optional LSD...

btw 2 x "skids" does not mean 2 x constantly driven wheels...a roll back ( the first thing a P plater learns in a FWD) wil tell u this :)

[soloisbetter]

do what TODA boy said.. jack the front of the car up.. spin one wheel.. if the other wheel splins opposite to the one ur rotating then it dosnt have an lsd.. if the wheels both spin together.. ta'da.. u have and lsd.. will take 2secs to check buddy..

[aimre]

what a "roll back" ben?

[karbonphyber]

mmmmm lookin at that picture really does seem like an insane rwd.
FF in reverse with crazy steering? lol

[aimre]

how can u determin the drive by the marks??

thios is what i did:
it on a hill, rolled back and dropped the clutch, started to spin.
as the road isnt flat (dips at the sides) the car started to slide sidays (why i corected, why the lins are sguigly.

pics taken from top of hill..... there the end of the marks

"that"....is a roll back :)

Perhaps the oldest trick in the book using momentum of the car moving backwards - pop in 1st gear and watch both wheels light up with smoke everywhere . Blew my first clutch doign this years ago :)

[aimre]

lol... i better stop doing that

[bizee_1]

so have you jacked the car up yet ?

[aimre]

naa not yet.... ill probably do so next few weeks when i get some lowered springs...
