What LSD/ Rear end should I go with?
I am almost ready to buy a rear end for my car and not sure which to go with. Alot of people use the torsen but is it really worth it for me to spend 11-1200 for a rear end off a 12 year old car? I want something that will hold 250whp with ease and wont mind being launched since i will be drag racing it along with road racing it.

buy a 1.8 open. and/or swap in a rx7 lsd.
or
buy a 86-88 rx7 non-turbo rear, and find a miata pinon gear/housing and swap that in.
you should be able to at least do a 1.8 open rear swap for under $400, if you play your cards right.
driveshafts are $25-30 + shipping
axles are $100-150 + shipping
rear assembly, $100-300 + shipping
seals $20

Or keep your eye out here. I just sold a torsen swap (minus axles) for 600. Which is about what I spent on my own torsen swap.
Don't pay what the big parting out guys charge... they have a decent corner on the market and they know it.
If I did it again.. I'd probably get an open and put a rebuilt rx7 clutch lsd in.

guys i want to start collecting bits and pieces for my rear end. I will most probably get a 1.8 OPEN diff with a RX7 lsd. JUst confused. Are the driveshafts all compatible? Im seeing 2000 driveshafts n soo forth. I want to get the newest if possible. Will that work fine with a 94 open diff? and the axles, are they the same also?
