Nope, not a uni tire

 

If there isn't an arrow, then their not directional. So Dave, you think the decal is doable? I was thinking about seeing how much my local graffic place would do them for also.

 

what kind of shoes did you get dave? and paul since when did you start doin a 12a turbo?

6 port

Guess who's back........... back again................ Smokey's back............... tell a friend.........

 

Do you even know what your talking about? The seal does not go over the hole

 

How do you get the rotors that clean?

 

Hey Dave and Stu. Wanta go rally?

 

yes I do!! Awsome pic Sam

I'll be here all day tomorrow STu if you wanted to cruise by sometime.

Update on Ant's car: The reason the undercoating keeps wrinkling in areas is/has been figured out....The sandable primer I used from PPG has been recieving alot of bad reviews. The most common of these is that after a few weeks of curing the primer would start to wrinkle and then end in a crack in the topcoat What this means for me is sanding the car back down,reprimimng and sealing with new "updated" materials provided by a friend of mine.( a former GSL-SE owner and still fan) Basically redoing everything or else it will all do the same thing that area was.

I have seen the same thing in his work and others that had been using the same material from the same supplier. Should hopefully be in the booth this weekend. Shooting for Friday evening I think is what my buddy told me he has open for me.

 

got the rearend torn down tonight, i gues everything looks ok. I have yet to see where the metal in the gear oil was coming from but, time will tell. I took out the axles, and chunk. I figure i will go ahead and put in new bearings and seals while im at it.

 

I am off all day tomorrow minus having to go to work for the 6pm meeting and pick up my check. I am free before and after

Nice I am looking up some stuff for the miata into RX7 diff. Lots of interesting stuff so far. Sorry the phone cut out on you, it was beeping but I didn't know why, until it died.

dang

That really stinks, I'm not sure if I can afford all those materials again, not anytime soon I'm sure. I might just have to take it how it is, if you think it looks presentable?

 

Rob:

In 1994 Mazda used a larger and beefier rear unit for the 1.8 Miata that has a 7" ring gear and is derived from the 1986-1991 NA RX-7 rear with the exception of the shorter pinion and front pinion housing.

The 94+ Miata uses the same length pinion as the 1st gen RX-7 (and B2000/2000 trucks/RWD626) and the front housing is unique to the Miata to allow a mount for the PPF. Swapping the later 94+ rear into a 1990-93 Miata is a bolt-in but requires replacing the entire diff housings assembly, driveshaft and half-shafts from the later 1994+ cars. If you can't find a 1994+ Miata rear in a salvage yard then try the rear aluminum housing from a '86-91 NA RX7, they are nearly the same. You'll still need the short pinion cast iron front housing from the 94+ Miata (for the PPF mounting) and Miata specific rubber mounting bushings.


differential shaft diameters and splines:
7" small axle = 25mm x 24 spline [/color](808, RX-3, 79-83 RX-7)
7" large axle = 27mm x 26 spline
7" S2000 = 29mm x 28 spline
7.5" small axle = 27mm x 26 spline '84-03 B2000/B2200 & early 95-97 Sportage
7.5" large axle = 29mm x 28 spline ('98-05 Sportage)
8" = 31mm x 30 spline. TT/TII/929

EDIT: Basically you will be out of luck, as you have the smaller bearing/axle rear end. The Miata will only fit into '84-85
