Does my 91 rx7 have an lsd ?
 
I have lifted the rear of the car and turned the tire forward and the tire on the oppisite side doesnt turn at all ?? What does this meen ?

Very few S5 NAs had LSDs (GTUs model), and I don't think any '91s did.

But when I give it gas making a turn the tires lock and it kicks sidways very easy. would it do this without a lsd ? :scratch:

Only one way to find out. Jack up the rear of your car and try to turn it by hand, both wheels should be turning at the same direction. If not it's an open diff.

^ not really. When real advice is being posted its a benefit for anyone doing research and using the search feature. Its an added bonus that its not misinformation!

still not gettin my answer, is there any other way to find out if its an lsd ? Does it meen by the other tire not turning at all that its an open diff ? From what I understand mazda denies any of its 91's having lsd's but people have found out that a few cars did infact have lsd on cars with the 4 piston calipers, electric sun roof.. ect. witch mine does.

get underneath the car and see if there is a tag near the oil filler. sometimes it states that the third member is limited slip and what oil to use....
(at least on my s4's)

Spend sometime on the racetrack or autocross! If you have an LSD you should be able to tackle those hairpin easily on the exit. Or join a drift practice you'll figure this out quick when you initiate your drift, it should break loose and ease it out on transition. If your rear wheels doesn't break loose and have to rev it high to get it then it's an open or worn out LSD. Hope this will help!

When you jacked the car up to see of both wheels turn did you have the car in gear?

I also have a 91 n/a i thought at first i had an lsd but i didn't

the back end can still kick out even if you dont have an lsd
