Email Rob at Flipside. He runs a full RX7 Turbo II rear diff, axles and hubs. His email is exit5@comcast.net

Yeah, when there are two companies out there making rear sub-frames/diff. mounting assemblies and custom cv axles specifically for mounting Ford 7.5" and 8.8" rear-ends to the Miata...I really don't see the point in mounting the 8" RX-7 Turbo II rear-end to the Miata. Unless you have more free time than free money, and someone gives you a free TII rear-end...then, maybe.

I wonder if it's his mount then? If it were mounted to a PPF, then the tranny, driveshaft, and diff would all move together. They kind of "twist" or rotate just a bit. But since the mounting points are isolated, the items don't move in unison, causing additional stress then failure?

I installed a TII diff and starting to get ready to look into a stronger trans for my turbo miata. The TII diff install is pretty time consuming, but only cost me $200. However I machined the hubs down with help of friends at no cost. The swap to TII diff would not be that hard due to fact that can purchase hubs from miataroadster. Then you only have to get driveshaft fabbed and mount for diff. However other rearends may be better options for gearing but that depends on what you want to use your car for.
