darksecret,

im pretty sure that LSD and Posi are the same thing

there still are 3 types of diff.'s: open, lsd/posi(some slip), and locker(no slip)

none of the USDM celicas came with a LSD from the factory

the reason why your car leaves 2 tire marks is because it is fwd, the weight transfer that results from a launch makes for reduced traction to both wheels, allowing both wheels to spin. an open diff RWD vehicle will tend to spin one wheel due to the added traction from the weight transfer. which tire spins depends on the rotation of the engine/driveshaft which puts more force on one side of the car giving that side more traction
