Default someone please explain

i layed a little rubber patch in my driveway. no big thing. i was wondering if my car has LSD. i was driving around and i dumped the clutch once and my tires went up in smoke like a mother. i lost all steering. it felt like i was on ice. i dont think that Si's have LSD but why did i lose steering and stuff? here are the pics of the little streaks i made. you can see it(i know it sucks, its getting dark). the two marks. whats going on or why does it do this? or am i a dumbass and the si's have LSD?

just the front of the car up, leave the transmission in neutral, and spin one tire, if the other spins then you have LSD. (but i dont think that regular si's came with lsd)

No, way did that car come with LSD. It's prob a matter of you dumping the clutch and the car not knowing which wheel to turn so it goes from one to the other real quick

well if the driveline is not connected to both wheels, how would it go from one to the other real quick? and plus i have layed a serious muthafawking burnout for like 10 seconds and they both were spinnin like a motha. i had not steering at all. i will lay a bigger one tomorrow in my driveway just to make sure.

i think its cuz in most front-wheel drive hondas, theres only one "power forward" and "power reverse" which means one wheel is receiving the actual torque, not both wheels. so if you dumped the clutch, that power forward wheel spun out and created the bigger tire mark on the ground, and finally the other side started rotating at the same speed as the power forward side.

not 100% on this, but pretty sure...

Bro -

1990 Honda Civic Si's never came w/ factory LSD. That's just a "sometimes it happens" kinda thing.. nothings wrong w/ the car and no you don't have LSD. I can tell you who to talk to about getting LSD.. But i lay tracks longer, and chunkier than those. But i have a stock std (4spd) DX and my **** lays them thick...
