All Supra LSD's have a tag on the rear cover that says "LSD Oil Only". That tag could fall off over time however. The easiest way to see whether there is an lsd or not is to jack up the back of the car, put the transmission in Neutral, and spin the tire on one side. If the other side moves in the same direction that you're spinning the tire on your side than it most likely has an LSD. If it spins in the opposite direction than it is an open differential. If it is an LSD it will also be easier to see what the ratio is, as movement from the tires directly translates to movement of the driveshaft. Spin the tire 1 360 degree revolution, and count how many times the driveshaft makes a 360 degree revolution. Making a chalk mark on the input flange of the diff and housing will make rotational reference much easier.

Doesn't count! You weren't using a Supra pumpkin... cheater!

I'd do it too, but the cost would surely make my wife red in the face.
Sell ya mine at a very reasonable price considering what it cost me to build ;)

Are there more details on your rig somewhere? Curious about it all 'round.
