    depends on the road, went ive done a burnout sometimes both wheels have spun it depends on how level the road is ai think cause on other occations only one wheel has spun.

    it also depends on the condition of the diff, if its been thrashed they have been known to spin twinnies or spin left side only!

    Our diffs are notorious for spinning up the drivers side on both open diffs and worn LSDs.

    You can check if you've got an LSD by jacking both rear wheels off the ground and spinning them. If they both spin in the same direction then you're in business. If you put one wheel back on the ground and can spin the other quite easily (i think 68Nm is supposed to be the min torque off the top of my head) then it might need a tighten up (sounds like if it is an LSD it's too loose for your requirements anyway ). I've got mine shimmed up so I can only just turn the jacked up wheel by hand. Booting it around corners it puts the power to both wheels everytime. If you're on a budget and reasonably handy at turning a spanner you can tighten it up yourself.

    The jack thing will be the easiest way to tell, if both wheels spin in the same direction LSD if they spin in opposite directions then not. Fords have a silver tag on the filler plug that has LSD on it. I think Holdens have one on one of the back plate bolts.

    Thats right, jack the rear up and spin the wheelsl, if both wheels spin in the same direction LSD if they spin in opposite directions then not. EASY
