Don't plan on it. I live in a small town, so all the corners here are 30KPH 2nd-gear corners.

do you have open diff or vlsd or what?
Not sure, actually. My car has an SE badge on the back, but it has stock steel wheels and no spoiler, so I don't think it's really an SE, which probably means it's doesn't have a vlsd.

lol vlsd was an option on both the base model and the SE model. do a burn out and if both wheels spin you have vlsd, or jack the back of your car up and spin one of the wheels if the other one spins the opposite way you have vlsd.

Or just look for a yellow sticker on the diff.

Nope. Four-lug stock wheels.

I went about two months not knowing I had a VLSD, then I did a burnout and to my suprise, there were two tire marks. Even though VLSD sucks, it is better than nothing.

Yes, I am Canadian and this is a Canadian car (the odometer and spedometer are in KMs). The badge on the back says "SE", but there doesn't seem to be anything "SE" about this car

some of the time the burn out test dont work too well, cause the open diff will spin both wheels if condintions are right, i tested mine by putting the passenger side wheel in dirt, and driver side wheel on pavement, dumped the clutch and both wheels spun. But i also have ABS, and i think they came together.
