S2000 Forced Induction S2000 Turbocharging and S2000 supercharging, for that extra kick.

Another diff bites the dust!

The only reason why it broke was because of a stupid downshift. It has been strong for 1 year exactly with countless beatings. None of which were launches or hard shifts.

I think I'm running the Stage 2+...haven't abused it at all really but it runs great. The 3.90 gear takes some getting used to, but I like it depending on what I'm doing with the car that day

Thats certainly the worst ones I've seen. I was gonna say before I saw the pics from the title of the thread, have puddy rebuild it, but at that point, it's not good for much, lol.

Good luck.

I'm still curious as to what would split the case IN HALF like that?

Ben said it split shattered the diff from the outside in. It's still nuts man. A crack is one thing, but to crack it all the way through and around is something else. The silver casing has a nice crack going through half of that as well.
