Hello, does anyone know if the Differential housing also fit a Miata? Thank in advance.

yes, they do. i have spent some time on some of the MIata forums looking at this topic and apparently the Rx-7 FC diff housing is a little more robust than the stock Miata unit, so the turbocharged Miata guys use it as an upgrade.

the T2 diff should bolt up to the Miata by virtue of the fact that it bolts to a N/A Rx-7. however, just keep in mind they are 8-inch rears, not 7 like the NA and Miatas. so the centers are not interchangeable.

i don't know the years of Miata that interchange for sure, but from the little that i had looked into it previously, it looks like the NA and NB models, which are something like 1990-2005
