Georgeous! Jeez I bet the lsd was an expensive option when the car was new!

AFAIK the LSD is only available in combination with ABS. The option thrown in for free for the 1998 model year and later I think.

I still reckon you need to chuck some crap wheels/tyres on the back and find for certain if there is an LSD centre in there.
 
New wheels look awesome dude, especially with the RSRs on them.

I did the "grass" test the other day, where one tyre was on wet grass and the other was on pavement. Planted it at 3k and was swiftly able to move off with a little wheelspin. Can any owners of open diffs confirm that doing the same will result in lots of wheelspin and getting bogged?

Sounds like a result to me.

Yup that was me on both counts. This morning I was heading back from a friend's house after a party last night, in the afternoon I was heading back from lunch with some friends.
