if the diffs welded should make things easier but again wet ground will be alot easier on the car.

Hi everyone Im wondering is it possible to do donuts in a 2 litre auto omega with a lsd diff  ?

Second question is: how did a 2.0 come to have a limited slip diff fitted?  :-/

Good question, well spotted!

If the Car was explod could / may have come with LSD, it wasn't just 3.0 /3.2 some Forces requested LSD for, depends on the Force.

Even a 3.0 V6 wont 'spin up' in dry conditions with decent boots as standard..... no chance with a LSD or welded Diff. (edited to add AUTO.... even the youngest chav in a manual 106 or saxo can create smoke).

Try Krispy Kreme, or whatever they are called.

Easy with wrong wheel drive, I had a hot hatch which struggled to wheel spin but that was RWD and was quicker than the FWD hatches of the time

my quick rwd hatch also had plenty of grip in the dry, but would swap ends very quickly indeed on even a slightly damp road.
May have been due to 70,s tyre technology though. :-/

One of my old Elite autos would quite happily play sideways if given the right encouragement (and a nice empty private carpark where i used to work lol) The car was being broke for spares many moons ago and i wanted to see if it was any good at sideways. TC off, sport mode on and do everything with kickdown. Takes a bit of getting used to and yes, manual is a lot easier but auto does have benefits

They are quite literally just around the corner from me (a drive thru doughnut shop, whatever next??) and i have often come home late at night to see the aftermarket HID glare from that general direction as the little boys play the bouncing limiter game

i beg to differ. my manual needs little encouragement to go sideways in dry.

Yours was quicker still

Mine was old so was on 90s tyres

.. but it probably needs some provocation.

In an auto, it's practically impossible not to apply the power smoothly, so provocation is less easy.

Hence why my edit says AUTO.  Perhaps you should read before you reply. 

Still, your Manual is slower 10-60 or 10-100 than an Auto FACT.

0-60 or 0-100, you have the edge.

Just sayin.
