Ok, that diff is in my garage now. IT IS FB DIFF!!! I´m happy and confused :D

Only problem is that my diff has 24 splines and that lsd diff has 26...

Here they are.

I really dont understand how that kind of part has found its way HERE, in the middle of nowhere...? :confused:

Weird thing is that, LSD diff has S2 driveshaft flange but it has S3 26 spline side gear... Oh, and my bro´s car is actually(and my parts) -83, not -84 as we thought it is...

Now I just have to figure out how I can use that diff...

Btw, does anyone have idea what that lsd diff with 5,125 is worth?

Today I found interesting project from our car sell net site. -76 Mazda 929 Ht!

It would be awesome project to get back to streets, as an RX-4 clone ofcourse. I allready emailed seller. Seems like it needs body work, dont know about chassis. Biggest consern is that how many parts are missing. It would be impossible to find them here... :/

And if chassis and body are too rusty, I cant do it. :( And seems like seller knows that its a rare car so I imagine that price will be big too...

Anyways, I wonder how big differenses are between 929/Rx-4 and Fb´s engine, gearbox and diff mounts? Would it be "easy" to swap my Fb parts on it?

Guy said that body and chassis are rusty, but can be done. All parts are there, except rear bumber. Also he has another body and it comes with that car. Dunno what to do...

Wow, your 12a looks amazing! Also like the 929. It seems like parts are rare however not impossible to find. They are a bit expensive though. At least for an rx3. Not sure on rx4\'s.
