I know the difference between LSD and an open diff. I'm just saying that some people can slide an open diff. It's just not easy, that's all. ;)

cool. now i get what you were saying. i just don't feel i should have to defend that my diff works or not. i mean if you saw my car there in person you could see for yourself that there is no way its blown.

like i said my dads 240sx has traction problems with the open diff. because once the one rear breaks loose it gets all the power. i could only image how bad a open/blown diff. would be like on a supra turbo.

LOL, I wasn't at all implying that your diff is blown! I was simply stating that it's possible to slide a non-LSD car. :)

I come from a land down under
Could very well have been sand on the surface making it sound like it was unloading and spinning a single wheel.

You can "slide" a FWD car with no rear drive at all if you try hard enough and hold your mouth just right ;)

nash the last one was hella funny. jumping a civic. LOL.


and 88 this is the only video i have. with both of us the car was near 4000lbs. so yeah the extra 300lbs shifting around didn't help the handling and acceleration at all.

i was thinking of tieing my camera to the passenger head rest next time. someone did it and it turned out nice.

i can slide an open diff car very well...just a different technique....unfortunately now i find sliding an lsd hard :(

i does sound like your unloading your inside tire out of a turn...why not just check it??
