The rear end, did that get sprayed in Dupli-Coat Wheel Coat Silver?
all the painted parts were done with anti rust primer, duplicolor engine enamel and then clear coated with crystal enamel

the diff casing is upside down in this picture so the flange on the diff really faces downward. they are riser bushings so it brings the whole subframe and diff up towards the car more

if i have a chance ill snap a better pic for you

I know the diff is upside down..that's why I'm asking, cause I've seen other people do it the other way and I'm planning on getting this set up and I'm trying to find out the proper way to install them ...

adding some real content to this page finally.

after WAAAAY too much effort, we finally got our hands on some new axles. no joke finding these things is like locating the holy grail. every single auto parts store around me stopped carrying them. if anything happens to these ones im just selling the car

after creeping the for sale section for quite some time, we got sick of waiting for a 2 way to pop up so this happened

since that was the last part we needed, once we can install the diff in the housing, the rear end is ready to go back together. finallyyyyyy

lastly, in unrelated news, i just picked up this miata and needless to say my parents were disappointed when they found out that im gay

Wait, you did the opposite? My life started with my Miata, then went to a much faster more well engineered car, an FC.

I too started out with a miata, and ended up in the shitbox known as the FC.

Yours looks JUST like mine, hardtop and BBS wheels. Is it a 93 LE? Mine was a 95 M.

Haha yeah i have three fricken 2 seater Mazdas now I hate it. It was just time for a more practical car after daily driving a slammed Fc for 3 years. Im trying to resist the urge to put money into it. Your miata looked way sick
