With an LSD you will be able to doughnut properly.
The LSD limits the amount that a wheel spins, it will lock the diff depending on the rate, hence the reason only one of your wheels is spinning.

the most common althought both rare is 3.64 and 3.91, or the best comprimise is a 3.7 something but do these exist in LSD form?
Diff fitting is not too bad a job, re-fitting can be a bit fiddlely but if you're not a complete spastic with a spanner then you should be ok

What's the point in doughnutting anyway, you jut stress out everything and wreck your tyres. It's just as bas as wheelspinds and handbrake turns. Try drifting then you might impress someone.
