Title: Rx8 diff 4.1:1 please
Post by: Grant Monkhouse on August 08, 2020, 08:49:18 PM
As per title, let me know what you have.

I'm working in Crystal Palace tomorrow night and staying down there for the night probably over on the west side of the m25 as I'm going to work in Cardiff for the rest of the week so if your in that vacinity roughly en route to Cardiff I can detour and pick one up

Sorry about that Grant. We had a shedload of issues with the forum earlier in the year as our hosting service was causing us major issues. Many notifications simply didn't get sent out and the forum was crashing too. Lots of posts simply didn't get spotted.

We've moved to a new host now and, touch wood, the issues have been resolved  :)

I'm not even sure if I can use the rx8 diff now as the spline count is different on the axles between the mx5 and rx8 so I would have to swap out the hubs etc and I think the rx8 axles are also longer

Hi Clive, didn't even see you had replied to this. If you do have this then just let us know.

I can't find exact info on the Web about installing the rx8 diff in an mx5 but from what I have found people say it can be done. This is good as the rx8 has a kaaz diff option available
