I have an open 4.3 pumpkin. What's the ZIP? You can have it for $20 plus shipping & handling.

I found a local torsen I might be able to get, but the seller hasn't got back to me yet.

Your 4.3 is from a 1.8 car? I have new axles and driveshaft, so I'd like to reuse them.

Yes, from a 1.8, and I drove on it from SC to IN when I bought my 99 and it was fine, no noises or anything.

Shipping would probably be in the neighborhood of $50 after I buy a sturdy box. LMK if you are interested.

I'm just going to give this local guy another day or two, then ill let you know. In your opinion, what would you rather see/have in a potential car purchase... a welded diff or an open diff?

I updated the first post with another item I need...the oem fake oil pressure gauge/face. Right now mine is just an empty spot covered by american flag duct tape.

Definitely welded. Nothing tells me a car was well-cared for like a welded diff. Guaranteed to be a nice cream puff that was never abused.

Good point. I guess I figured that the new owner will probably swap in a torsen anyways, and it might be fun for them in the meantime.

Cream puff in the add always makes me skeptical of the car

Thank you boileralum for the diff!

Updated first post with a soft top, drivers side door card, and drivers seat.

Well, diff hasnt shown up, and cant get a hold of the guy, so I still need a diff.

I had a (sort of) local source to pick up a brand new soft top, front brakes, and door card, paid a deposit, the guy is ghosting me.

Im willing to drive 4 hours in one direction (from cedar city, ut) to meet for parts, please help me out, I really need to get my miata back to stock, sold, so I can pay back some of my debt mountain and can move back home.

Thanks
