Off topic but has anybody removed that mass damper from there Torsen? Id rather
have less mass than a minor improvement in noise and vibration. That thing has
got to be a few pounds of rotating mass and it is rotating at ~4 times the rate
of the wheels.

IIRC, automatics have the damper, but I could be wrong.

if it were that easy , dont you think that tip would have become law
in the miata community long ago? but I d hope it is anyway, so that you have
your cheap torsen and I can find one myself. ! :)

Bryan,
According to the differential spotters guide you are correct. At
least I hope so, I just bought a TORSEN I didn’t need because the price was too
good to pass up…. Well, I assumed it was TORSEN because it had the damper.
I’ll have to verify it later.
Luis

Dumb question, but don't all Torsens have the rubber damper
where the driveshaft and the input to the diff meet?

thanks fir the replies guys. obviously it's been while
since I looked at that car. when I did not get my replies (list problem for
me, working on it) I called mazda usa . car does NOT have the torsen, or, I
should say, was not delivered new with one.
so that also tells me that Mazda USA is still available to
ask the question. The guy said it was no problem and in fact they like these
kinds of calls. Presumably, gain brand loyalty in the market?
I'm still looking for a Red 84-07 with zero rust. Torsen
optional, based on the price. I can get a Torsen for 800 or so.

I had a '94A and remember checking equipment options here.
If the car came with cloth seats it probably didn't have a torsen. If it did
come with leather seats it probably came with torsen ... and the most underbody
bracing of any year Miata. The seats may have been replaced so look for the
bracing (half a dozen round steel bars with flatened ends) under the rear of
the body. AFAIK the '94B (tan top & interior) did not have the bracing.

Hi All,
hoping to get some quick advice I'm looking at a 94 Miata

car has a/c but manual windows, no cruise, if that
helps...
Thanks
