does my fc3s have traction control

just bought my first 1990 TII rx7 but when i try to do donuts she lights up one wheel. it starts the donut fine but half way through a buzzer goes off & an anti-slip light appears in the dash. Do the fc3s have anti-slip, if so wheres the fuse? & how do i remove the anti-slipp.
Its a viscous diff and i looked on the back of the diff for a wire & connector like on the bmws but there is none.
i changed the diff fluid to see would it make a difference but none. she does donut but when the light comes on she spins out. help needed. this car is an import & was never sold in ireland so this website is my only hope.

I'm about 99% certain that FCs never had any form of traction control. The light on your dash is the ABS light, but I don't have any idea why that would be coming on and stopping your wheelspin. How many KM on the car? It's possible that the diff is just worn out..... I still don't see how you could be regaining traction though...

there is a buzzer for overrev, it comes on (at least on my car) allready at 6,500RPM.. you might be hearing that.

it should have an LSD. the light is ABS light as it thinks it is ******* up when one wheel is moving and one isn't.

There is no traction control on FCs (think god).

If only one wheel is spinning, your LSD is probably worn out and needs a rebuild/replacement.
