LOCO, i did some research on the rear ends when i was looking into puttin the vg in my miata, the rx7 rears can be done but take a little work and are pricey, a stronger, lighter, cheaper alternative is a lincoln ls rear diff & modified thunderbird / cougar axles and hub assemblies. itl take the power of a heavily modified V8. you oughtta ask kevin whats done for the rear end in that sb ford powered miata they have at PAS.
Nah its independant. its an aluminum housing with a LSD, 8.8 gear's, the thunderchicken / cougar axles bolt right up to it. swap to those hubs, have the holes welded closed and redrilled for 4X100 and you got a SOLID rear end! the mounting brackets arent to hard to do either. i am looking now for pics of it i found.
Definitely saw that Miata at the meet at the gas station across from KD before Mega-Meet...all I had to say was WOW. I even joked with a friend of mine as the Miata was rolling in, I said "Hey, I bet that thing has an LS1 in it" and he laughed. The Miata parked beside us in my friends EVO and we all knew it didn't sound like a stock Miata, and when we finally talked to the guy he told us it had a 347 stroker under the hood..
