A limited slip diff is one of those mods I think every Miata should have, especially for track use. Comment below if you agree or disagree!
Totally agree. I got a 6 speed for 5 months now and still didnt swapped it in, but a torsen i would immediately swap in the miata even if i have a 1.6.. its worth it.
@@xninpo Definitely worth it! Which ratio are you going to do with the 6speed?
@@DriveItRyan thats a tuff question, i would maybe go for a 4.1 again or a longer ratio, but not shorter for sure. My dream/goal for my miata would be to swap the KLZE engine from the Mazda Xedos, then i def would go for a longer ratio :-)
@@xninpo that would be sweet and it would keep it all in the Mazda family! Matt loves his 6speed / 3.9 combo, but a 4.1 would be fun too. It’s all personal preference! I’m almost certain I want to put a J32A2 engine in this car. A v6 in a Miata just works!
ID DIRECTLY SAY DO IT. Im sure u‘d be the coolest guy to drive a V6 Miata because u would share it with the internet and show ppl other opportunitys u know? I def see u doing this because u got the possibilities such as experienced friends helping etc. A Vtec V6 in this black miata = wow..👌🏽
I love how you showed the important camera angles, torque specs, and product brands. Overall a very useful and informative video. 👍
Thank you! I try to think about what I would like to see / know in a video before I film it. It’s always tough to keep the videos short while covering everything. Thanks again for this man, it made my day!
Great video dawg
Thanks bro!!
Nothing like the smell of burning diff bushes in the morning....
I guess you guys break these a lot..with multiple burnouts... :)
anything with lubrication...makes an exciting vid......... :)
fun and informative....

Thanks Neil! Those diff bushings smelt like death 😵💫 I would not recommend. We do have a burnout problem… can’t argue that one! Lots of lubricants as always 😝
Criss cross applesauce 😂 Matchew, the real Miata Dad!
Criss cross applesauce is straight out of the Haynes repair manual 🤣
Cool videos! What part of CT are your from?
Hello. Little side note. You want the fluid seal at the inside of the screw holes. Otherwise the oil can leak through the holes. And you can use a lot less😅
What is the preferable diff ration for the stock 5 speed? The 3.9 or 4.1
Id say 4.1 to squeeze every last bit of power out of a 100hp car. Ive got a 3.9 for engine longevity and fuel mileage. As an old school muscle car guy a car running at 4k rpms at 80mph is crazy to me. With a 3.9 its around 3,600rpms at 80mph now
Crap why u gotta post this 5 mins before I board my flight cuzzzz
Dang! They have complimentary WiFi on that crap?
Kickin Captain Planet in the dick 🤣 Awesome diff install!
Hahaha that one got me too 😂 Thanks Bobby!
How much force did you need to get the axles in?
A pretty good amount. You’ll feel them clip in. Just make sure you don’t mangle your axle seals too much or you’ll have a leak.
@@DriveItRyan I'll give it a good old wack, appreciate the reply
@@weiners whack it like it owes you somethin. You’ll be good 👍
Yea lube dem bushins! Lol
Any more lube and this video would be NSFW 🤭
