    he drives an eta.

    2.79S is good, if you want to upgrade get a 3.25LSD. great acceleration and very good fuel economy!:p

    I thought if the wheels spun in the opposite direction then you have an open diff. If they turn in the same direction then you have a LSD.

    jack it up and spin both tires, if they both spin in the same direction, you have an LSD.

    i did that test while i was getting an oil change, i know for a fact that my current car has an open diff because i only spin one wheel. FML :(

    i had a 2.79"s" on mine.

    actually it feels nice to drive with an LSD, you could spin the wheels so easly.

    i am pretty sure my Fail vert has an open diff. i am getting 4.10LSD for it soon.
