Right well basicly the day after westonzoland drift day pulling onto a roundabout one of the half shafts that goes into the diff snapped and tried to put me ontop of said roundabout, my question is this, are mx5 diffs/ half shafts the same as rx7 fc ones?

The diffs look very similar from mine and one or two others mx5 diffs ive welded but the fc has a longer front casing (rear casings are the same) and i can't rember exactly if it is or not. Could i use an mx5 half shaft or do i need to change the diff over completely and will it fit/work. I don't want to buy an mx5 diff and find out it doesnt work haha. Before you ask i can't seem to find fc diffs anywhere atm so yeah help.

Thanks
 
I.ve got a na here but will be e few weeks before I get the back up to check what the diff is will have the shafts too as I.m swapping a turbo unit in
 
I have heard of this before, will see if I can dig out the source.

You will most likely need to obtain a 1.8 diff as that has the 7 inch ring gear.
 
Pretty sure there are some similarities some where. I got a KAAZ DBZ1810 lsd in my 94 MX5, it is also listed for the RX7 but not sure about model years...
 
Cheers lads much appreciated! John ps13 if u could let me no when u have it available ill prob have it off you :) no real rush thou.

Guna try a half shaft off a mates mx tonite and hope it's enter changeable if not I'll get a 1.8 diff :)
