Jack the rear of the car up off the ground. Make sure both wheels are off the ground. Put the gearbox in neutral.Spin a wheel. if the other one turns the same direction it is LSD. If the other one turns the opposite direction or not at all you have an open diff. What make and trim level is it? Some trim levels never had LSD and I think all factory Turbo cars(TII's) came with LSD. Look in the FAQ's I think it's in there which did,did not and might have.

quoted directly from the FAQ, which you should have read allready.

Did my 2nd Gen RX-7 come with a Limited Slip Differential?
Only the following USA model 2nd gen RX-7s had a LSD from the factory:
86-88 GXL
87-91 T2
88 GTU
89-90 GTUs (however not the 89-90 GTU)
It is also rumored that a few rare 91 coupes with both the A (upgraded the interior trim, added a power sunroof, tilt steering wheel, cruise control, and 4 piston front disc brakes and vented single piston rear brakes) and the B package (leather seating, a CD player, and rear cargo cover) came with a LSD, but you should note that Mazda denies that any FC other than the T2 came with a LSD in 91). You can also tell by looking at the differential as there will be a LSD tag on S4 cars with a LSD.

Note the '89-91 cars didn't have the tag on the diff but if it's not a TII or a GTUs it would be very rare to have one.
