what type of differential

[ericsbestshot]

i was wondering what type of diff to get. i currently have one that comes in a base 2000 miata. Any opinions would be helpfull. I would prefer one that is easy to install.

but the way i have a base 2000

Torsen maybe?? :)
What year is your car and what kind of use will it see?

[ben91]

Installation is pretty much the same no matter what.

You should probably list a bunch of info about your car's set up, desired use, and goals, and your budget...
(yeah I know it's a 99 5 spd, but I bet no one else here does)

well ben i want some thing that will help me not spin out on the mountain roads (you remember right). As far as cost. I don't know how much these thing usually run. 200- 250hp is what i want to get up to.

how much does it usually cost for a differential

After spinning on a mountain road you should think about doing that some where more safe, not look for a better setup so you can go faster on a mountain road.

well i'm trying to make it so that i won't spin out and be safer

you realize that this sends power to the wheel with more traction... meaning you're more likely to spin..... (assuming you're driving around like a jackass... or on a track... right?)


EDIT: Yeah... what Jester said.

tires are a better upgrade than diff :)

[FE3tMX5]

driving schools are better than tires IYAM

[Atlanta93LE]

^ Indeed. Throwing money at equipment to compensate for the nut behind the wheel is never the right solution ;)

[MoD_Scotty]

Tires/school x3.

[mustangtomiata]

And while your at it maybe tighten the nut behind the wheel with a school. I'll sell you a set of Kumho slicks for $250, there street legal. Jp bout me sellin the tires part.
