I noticed the other day when I did a small burnout that both tires spun equally, left pretty much the same mark from both tires. I thought Accords would have an open differential? Did any year Accord come stock with a LSD? Am I missing something or what? Sorry, I'm just a little confused... My car is a 93 5 speed BTW

 

Seriously, is this a stupid question or something? I mean maybe it is, but someone could tell me if any Accord's came with a limited slip diff or not?

 

THe answer is No, at least US Accords don't come with LSD. The Reason that both of your front wheel spinned was because that you tried to burned out ->fast acceration in a STRAIGHT direction, causing the drive strain axle of both front wheels to spin at the same speed.

LSD help you in turns where open differential will cause one wheel to spin faster than another, LSD will helps to correct this and thus transfer the power (torque) to the "weaker" spinned wheel and force them to travel @ same speed.

 

Actually LSD will push the inner wheel out making you have to oversteer, slip diffs are just point it and punch it, if one starts slipping, who cares. It also depends what kind of LSD you're talking. LSD is the most benefit in a straight line, or possibly accelerating out of apex, again depending what kind of LSD it is. A viscous diff is nice for corning, but a locker or ratchet LSD is pretty rough in the corners it can cause unpredictable handling. I had a posi trac ratcheting diff in my 280z(with the 350 conversion) and it made cornering pretty hard, plus it was noisy as all hell, it sounded like I had a bad dogbone, but it was just the ratchet. Every single corner you'd hear a clak clak clak coming from the inside wheel, but try me in a straight line, I'd leave a pair of wavy tire marks for a 100ft. You can always do what I did to my bel air and weld the spiders. That makes you go striaght REAL good, just don't try to turn lol.

 

^ I was just trying to make it simple h:

 

LSD huh?! i know some local hippies that could help you

 

so wazzup with that phantom grip??

 

i've only heard about people's phantom failing..

get quaife.

 

or grab an h22a tranny with LSD. The gearing is a lot shorter though, so gas mileage will suffer.
