thanks

"Honda also sourced the Mazda 7" rear for the S2000. The rear housing is different and the axles are larger so nothing is a direct interchange other than the ring and pinion gears. The Honda Torsen does have a clutch disk to preload the worm gear (the R type Torsen). If you adapt the larger S2000 halfshafts and stub shafts it is a nice upgrade."

Yes, the 7" Mazda ring & pinion gears are a bolt in to the S2K diff.


1480-27-110 C RING AND PINION, 5.125 RX-7, MIATA 1979-85, 1994-01



Notes:

Short pinion design. Fits 79-85 RX-7, 1994-01 Miata, RX-2, and RX-3 SP. Can also be lengthened to fit 86-91 RX-7 non turbo.

This looks like it should fit fine and yes, you have the right part#
