Was it aligned at that pressure?

Also, how do your tires look when at that pressure? Do they look like they are all stright up and down, or cocked in a little? Or are they awkwardly angled?

Take some pics at different angles at that pressure setting. Not close ups, just general pictures as if you were showing off the car. Also include one that looks down the side of the car, as if you were trying to show off a tail light or headlight, but don't take it too close to the car, just stand back a few feet so that we can see the whole side of the car, kinda like this.......

When I say I think, I'm 99% sure I bought a phantom grip and asked for it to be installed when I had the clutch and stuff done, but when I went into my shop about a year ago, I saw pretty much the exact phantom grip lsd for sale at the shop.. so I asked if that was in my car.. but was told he thought he put a quaife in there. If there wasn't a LSD would things be a little different?

And to answer the question, yes, I spin the tires a bit often, especially under show off situations.... the car does pull to the right under heavy acceleration, I'm pretty sure that's because the passenger side axel is shorter then the drivers side?

edit: it pulls to the right, not left my bad!
So I found the answer, I don't have the phantom grip, I have the quaife Differential :D
