right wheel more powerful than left? I was burning out today, and I noticed something really weird. When I burn out, I go to the right. One time I was holding the e-brake, and the car dragged to the right, even though the steering wheel was cranked to the left. I was like "oh, the brakes must be different". So later (actually that was yesterday, and this now is today), Im driving and I just do a mad burnout with no e-brake. You know, 5500 RPM and then drop the clutch. Anyway, it STILL pulled madly to the right, even though I probably had the wheel 90 degrees to the left. One of my friends (burnin out with me, hell yeah), said something about my car being one-wheel drive. I was like no, you're an idiot, but can you all tell me why I always pull to the right? Is it just that I have more tread on one wheel or what?
And by the way, I don't do this everyday. Me and 2 friends went to a car show and on the way back we decided to get crazy. Anyway, I'll shut up now.

Rep Power: 0 wow. I guess LSD fixes everything 
so when I'm accelerating, the right wheel's the only one doing the work? no wonder I spin so much...err, i mean...damn.
Would I see a considerable difference if I got an LSD and made it so that power goes to BOTH wheels no matter what direction I'm going?

Rep Power: 0 With an LSD you're biggest notice would be on cornering!!
What mods do you have to make you peg leg so bad since I havent seen any civics around here that are spinning that bad.

Rep Power: 0 one wheel pulling harder then the other is normal for many cars. the other wheel still goes, but its not the same amount of power it seems, Im not sure about this whole LSD thing, I dont hink all thats nessacary. Back when my civic was stock I raced a 99 or 00 EX MT with a LSD and no other mods at the time and I beat him
