      No idea. this rear diff was so warn. The friction plates were probably GONE. I always thought I had an open diff, but evidently it was at one point an LSD. No idea how it got destroyed though.

      Finally!  I mean, I was seeing your crypitc posts on FB, then coming here to see no updates.  I was thinking you grenaded your new racist diff.  Good to see you didn't.

      Yeah, I haven't even put it in yet. I'm waiting to pick up diff fluid. (currently broke as shit, and just got back from vacation!)

          Well, since my vacation went a little to spend happy in the childrens game room, I'm a little tight on cash. So I proposed a deal with a few guys on the wibimmers chat! Snap, REKIII, Bassboi, Cyoungster. That if they purchase my diff fluid, I'll install the diff, mount up my other set of tires, grab my camera, and video tape a burnout till the tires blow.

          Well, Chris pulled through like a complete fawkin bawse. An said he'd be at my place this weekend dumping in diff fluid, and helping turn a wrench. Get ready for a burn out that looks like this-

              yeah, I'm excited. I gotta go out sometime, mount up these wheels and fully deflate the tires, to make sure when they blow, that I won't be dragging my frame/gas tank/ etc

                                  If the brake pedal only controls the front brakes, you can hold down the brakes and roast the rears.  Otherwise to do a burnout you have to overcome the power of the rear brakes.

                                      I just explained what a line lock is.  Disconnecting the rear brakes is a way to do it (if done correctly) that is free but gets the basic same results as a line lock.

                                          Yeah man, alot's happened.

                                          The reason the LSD was deemed an "open diff" was because it's a clutch style LSD, the friction plates, aka "clutch" were so worn, that with the car in the air, spin one rear wheel, the other would spin the other way. yet when I would get stuck on ice, both tires would spin, I just deemed it a fucked up open diff. Till we dropped it.

                                          And also guys, disconnecting rear brakes is pointless, as the brake bias is usually 65% front, 35% rear. Even then, why would I disconnect them? I could just close the lines at the brake T's
