    Makes you wonder how in the world they will pull that off for $30.00, I have to imagine that sucker weighs a few pound!

    No way you can ship it for $30, unless you getting only the diff w/o housing etc. The one I got w housing was over 40lbs.

    So when you get the new torsen, what are you gonna do with your old open?

    Depending on how hard/easy the diff-ectomy is, I may keep the open one so I can swap it back out when I sell this Miata. Then again I may sell the open one ASAP to help pay for the Torsen. I guess I don't know! :P Why?

    The 1.6 rear 6" ring and pinion is not supposed to like torque very much, so I am trying to accumulate parts for a 7" swap when the 1.6 craters. I am going to need to find the diff., housing, driveshaft and halfshafts. I understand the 1.8 open differentials are pretty plentiful in the junkjards.

    I scored my Torsen carrier today! It's out of a 2000 model w/50K miles - for $425 delivered! Tech Day on the horizon! Anyone on the forum ever swapped differentials out?
