? about accent differential - Hyundai Performance Forums

ok we are supposedly one leggers right?
well tonight i did a burnout for the first time and i had both of my tires completly smoking. and i left two tire marks about 25 feet long. so if we don't have limited slips then how is this possible? i have peeled out before and it is only one tire...but when i did a full out burnout it was both. weird i say.

oh and i know that doing burnouts is dumb so whatever. this isn't the flame forum.

Sometimes, if you jolt the driveline hard enough from a stop then both tires will start spinning equally because the load on both tires is almost the same. I've done this many times before on dog leg differential cars/trucks.

I think the diff is limited slip.

Every once in a while when it is wet, both front tires spin on mine.

It can be changed to one.

Of course, on a transaxle, this requires a little modification to the diff inside the transmission.

if you only go straight you could turn it into a spool......

Hmmm,
I was going through some wet grass, when my one wheel started spinning mad, the other one kicked in...

If the dif was limited slip they definatly would list it in the feature list...

if both wheels have simular traction both will spin but if one has lots of traction and one doesnt the one with less traction will spin ...standard diff... do this if you really want to know.... jack up your car so one front wheel is on the ground and one off. now get in ans start the car up , drop the car into gear and let the tire off the ground spin, if its a limites slip or locking diff you will very shortly be moving and falling off the jack... this is also a great joke to play on someone...jack there car up just enough to get one wheeel off the grond and wait for them to try to drive off
