i found the rotor housing that I had with it today, cant find the rotor yet.
my parents home had a water pipe burst so they moved my **** around.
I will continue to look for it.
I can sell the polished housing if you want also ?

lol who told you that? speed 6's *BLOW* their diffs and shear the bolts off the mount, the only time ive ever seen one leak is the L/R axle seal, twice. As for that they'll just replace the seal and let it go, 6's get new diffs (damn kids launching AWD cars)

miatas generally never get warranty work except softtop water leaks, it's odd. most miata owners with older/higher mileage cars also do any maintenance required, like 20+hr jobs in one shot, it's a weird thing that most mazda techs know about, we're not sure what it is lol.

either dave or rob will probably work on it. I dont think dave is there tomorrow, could be wrong.

I'll have to explain the difference between a blown seal and a blown diff to anthony lol.

we had one kid blow both diffs on his speed6 at the same time, two weeks later he sheared the mount bolts off the rear. he wont be getting warranty anymore.

I hate all of you.... it was the most aqward ride home ever.

Btw andrew i knw it can get to loud at points but as i siad your driving style will change to adjust. Shifting before 3700rpm and light throotle is the key sounds amazing below that and bearable ( helps with mpg too lol).

If that doesnt satisfy you can always run stock exhaust with that midpipe ( = too all the fun of small pops and nice flames minues the extremly loud sound).
