  • Well, I had no idea what I was in for the day I decided to build a big power Miata. Everyone's journey will be a little different, some more difficult than others! Great learning experience, but I'm happy I can move on to other parts of the car.

    1st gen V Owners:
    "This diff sucks, I have to install a 2nd gen diff or swap in an 8.8."
    TheCarPassionChannel:
    "I'll take that glass diff off your hands for my Miata."
