Anyone want to start a betting pool?
My viscous limited slip (1991!) is still a limited slip diff! My current set up is...
Greddy kit
10* BTDC timing
full 2.5" turbo back
everything else is stock (except head gasket and studs).
Who wants to start a pool to see how long it takes my diff to toast?
Oh, we can also get one going for my $100 Mazda Value Line 1.6 clutch because I'm sure that it's days are numbered too.

You'd be surprised. My 91's original clutch and lsd are holding up fine at 7psi.

I believe fm proved witht there orginal track dog car at 240 or so whp thta the 1.6 diff suffers failure mostly from abuse and jackassery than power i have seen o solo miata that the temps in our little diffs get quite hot and htis cuases the dif oi to thin and heat cycles the gears making them brittle over time the bottom line is if you have traction and optimal airflow to keep the dif cooler or a dif cooleer setup then it should last quite awhile. just my 2 cents.

Any synthetic 75W90 diff fluid should work fine. I only say synth b/c of it's heat resistant properties compared to dino, not trying to start a debate as to which is better.
FWIW, my diff was fine at 8-9psi for over a year...then I turned the boost up and bye-bye. Also, it didn't blow during a launch or something stupid, it died in 4th gear at higher rpm while the clutch was already engaged and I was accelerating. YMMV.

If you drive hard and the rear end sees excessive heat like on a race track, get the best money can buy for lube. The rear end gears need to be as slick as possible, unlike the trans.
