Help-I need a 1.8 Aluminum Diff Housing Only
 

im posting this shameless cry for help in the BS section because thats what it is, BS
as some of you know i have a 96 parts car i bought for the sole purpose of using the motor and tranny and sell of what i can to recoup some money.
The car was hit in the front, total loss, motor had some damage to the crank pully but nothing major, i just reused my old motors crank pully and all is good. So i decide to sell the drive shaft axles and open diff all together to a fellow member.
last weekend i decide to remove everything from underneather the car including the diff and etc. and i see that the diff carrier is broken on one of the arms. Needles to say i was pissed, i didnt even bother to look at the diff when buying the car cause i knew it was an open diff.
so, if anyone semi-close to NC has one, they should all be the same from 94-05, please let me know...i will come pick it up and pay cash
i need everyones help since this seems impossible to find

just so everyone knows, i have offered to return the money or to source another carrier out of my pocket and im waiting for a reply.
either way, i will still need the carrier

sorry for long thread
mods, please do not move to WTB yet :bowdown:

so you need a diff case with good arms, or the diff/pumpkin? I have a pumpkin with a 4.30 ring if you want it.

Justler, Just curious how close are you to NC?

PS. I think hes just lookin for the housing.

pumpkin = iron

carrier = aluminum

aluminum thing, so carrier
the big-ass thing that hangs off of the subframe and holds the rear in place
its broken in the same place where scotts broke looking at his incident pics
partsgroup says those are designed to break if you have an accident

we should get someone to make aftermarket ones

Quite possibly the worst idea yet :eek:

steal one off an rx7

as long as its no fujiracing they cant mess them up too bad, lol

fixed for you

what year RX-7 will work, is it 84-87 or something like that?

Dan, don’t sweat it , My 6” Diff is holding up good (so far). I am sure we can find a housing before I grenade my present Diff. I can’t imagine it being difficult to source another one.

hey, i was waiting anxiously on a PM from you...
ues everyone, Milton is the 'fellow member' that bought the diff swap

yeah. i woudl of had one for you two weeks ago. but i need it myself....because my current one is done-zo.

anyone? please help
i got an offer today, kinda high and it was broken as well, what are people thinking?

how much are you willing to pay for one?

Has anyone checked on the price of a new one? These things are going to get scarce with the way the rear bumper on the NB transmits force to the frame. Just a gentle tap cracks off an ear.

Part MA02-27-600A
$826 dealer retail
$702 dealer wholesale

Hmmm. After you guys get yours, I'm going to go out and try to corner the market:bigtu:

betcha if you call 915racing.com they have some off an rx7.

they open in about two hours, ill give them a call
which year RX-7 should i be asking for? 84-87 only IIRC?

Which model RX7 housing will directly swap?
<edit>
ha ha, Dan beat me to it. Seriously, let me know and I might could have something. Maybe. I dunno.

The part # I supplied cross references to all miatas from 95-05.
94 shows MA02-27-600 (no A at the end) at the same price. I don't know what the difference is.

M055-27-600B is from the 86-88 rx7 non turbo
same price, looks the same in the pics, but I can't gaurantee

maybe they were made in the easy break oven... damn im fucking funny

interesting on the 94's...
the diff came out of a 96, so i guess no concern there

i really wonder what it would take to make welded carriers...
cast is not efficient enought unless you do a lot, CNC would cost out the ass

Do you have the broken housing? If anyone can take measurements we can sketch ideas

i have both. i compared the two, they are identical. my lsd came out of a short nose rx7 (86-87). the only reason you cant leave it in the pumpkin is because there aren't any PPF bracketry. Need miata specific bushing and it's a direct swap.

I'm lucky i have a spare because i need one myself :)

Is this the proper housing? The owner has it listed as a 1986-1991 RX7 housing
Thanks.

Thanks.

that does not look the same to me...but what do i know...
i think i may have found one though. i'll know soon

scooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooore!!!
i just got one... http://www.mazdarecycling.com/
by far the best service and price out of people i have talked to so far...
i should have the unit late this week out of Cali. and they only charged $20 for shipping...i asked if he had more to buy myself a spare, but he didnt, lol it was worth a try...

$200ish price in the ATL area for the used housing alone isnt unusual.
Its much easier to find a good diff with a broken housing.

yeah, thats what i had, a guy outside atl wanted a little over 200 for a damaged one, i had to pass since this was going to someone else, not me, i wouldnt have cared...
but i got this one for a little cheaper actually, im glad i passed on the damaged one
i also found one in FL for around $225 shipped
