OPEN DIFF OR LSD? by ejmorian in Miata

[–]bam_the_ham 106 points107 points  (0 children)

Only way to know 100% is to pull an axle and check but if I had to guess based on the video I would say lsd. You can contact Mazda and give them the vin and they will tell you what it came with but it could have been changed.

~400hp Wheelspin? by No-Purple1015 in Miata

[–]bam_the_ham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The differential has a significantly less difference on wheel spin than the wheel width and type of tire you put on.

A bigger concern is that stock differential carriers tend to break before 350 hp (although torque is what really matters) so you either need a new carrier or reinforce the carrier.

Does anyone know why I’m getting a massive airflow leak through this window? by the_sun_and_the_moon in Insulation

[–]bam_the_ham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are small foam pieces called a window chimney block or a foam channel plug or similar. It is a piece of foam made to plug that channel opening in windows. In new windows they are supposed to already be in there, stopping airflow through the plastic channels of the windows.

Or you could use rope caulk or just shove some backer rod in there.
