blew my diff on slicks lol
 
went to the track yesterday and made a run after i fell on my face as i never ran with slicks before but ran a 12.9 at 125 with a 2.9 60' not bad. it has 10 seconds in it. but my second run i grenaded the rear end. i have a spare but want better. i have been debating in OBX or t2 diff. OBX was a lifetime warranty but dont know if they will hold any suggestions?

how the hell did you run a 2.9 60ft on slicks!!! pull off in third?? (joke)

what 60ft did you run when it broke and what rpm did you launch at?

I just got a kaaz diff, mine was on the way out so I figured it would be best to take the iniative.

I picked up a spare diff and a TII LSD unit, pretty damn cheap too. How much is Mazda charging for the parts to build the diff?

i will build the diff myself and lol yea 3rd lol your funny. it was my first time ever in slicks and my second pass when i broke i barely made it to the 60'

When I stuffed my stock differential I went with a T2 clutch type differential, works great and holds lots of power. If you go with a t2 differential and decide to check the clutch packs, don't use the FSM specs. They are wrong and will trick you into thinking all the clutches are worn out. I listed the correct specs in a couple of my differential threads.
