That makes sense. I'd like to switch to 3" exhaust soon, but have grown to love the nice tone of my 2.5" setup. Since it isn't hurting me too bad I'll probably move it on down the to-do list. At the top of the list is the stock rear end - I've gotta get it out before it leaves me stranded somewhere.

Hello all!
I know I've been quiet since my last update over a year ago, but I've just been driving the heck out of Sunflower and extolling the virtues of a turbocharged Miata to anyone who stands still in front of me long enough.
I've told tons of people who take an interest in turboing a Miata to come visit this site, and I sure hope they do. I even printed up some cards to hand out, as most everyone wants to turbo their Miata, they just aren't sure where to start.
Anywho, I'm finally getting around to upgrading the rear end! Also, this update is part of a video series that I'm experimenting with. I just got tired of plain old text/picture updates and wanted a better way to tell the story. Thanks for watching and I've included the other episodes if you'd like to check 'em out.

thank you for removing the bushings the sane, easy, no fire, like-a-boss, method.
sidenote: if that was a non MSM axles you got as a replacment, the part that got stuck in the hub is identical to the part on the new axle, so all you had to do was release the rubber boot, and pull the shaft out of the hub end, them press the new 99+ axle into the hub end thing, regrease, and then reattach the boot.

Regarding the axle, thank you for the pointer, I considered doing this, but was afraid that it would come back to bite me somehow in the future. I'm a worry wart like that I guess.

That's how i did mine...I had to keep my ABS rings and the axles I got were non-abs. been like 6 years?
the shaft is just held in by a cir-clip, but it's one pita to get them back on since they swivel.
