Angry What to do with this damn car?

Hey guys!
So I just wanted some help from you guys. I have a ap1 and I just blew my rear diff and clutch... I baught this car and then got on the forums. I think I should have read a little more before buying it. After reading all the problems with everything from the trans back I am lost on what to do.
So if you guys could help me with suggestions on what to do? I need a new rear diff and clutch for sure (not sure yet if there is anything else) but I don't really want to do stock if its just gonna break again. I'm sure many of you have delt with this problem before so what do you guys reccomend so i can drive this car and not worry about it again!?...
Also if anyone knows anything about converting it to 04 and up or the skyline/rx-7 conversion let me know how hard/and pricy it will be.

Thanks A LOT guys.

It's nothing special but if you guys want to see pics of the "S" and my ls-vtec CRX here ya go... http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p...703&uid=5759994

dude, are you sure its a new differential and not a ring and pinion? also, I might have a replacement tranny for you to buy if you are interested, but the stock tranny or an AP2 tranny is the best you can do honestly, they are pretty great transmissions...

to fix the clutch get an aftermarket ACT clutch... the cheapest unit you can find, it will hold up a bit better...

If it just "blew", then it was probably because of something you did. Anybody can destroy up a car by doing stupid stuff.

Yeah... I was lined up with k20 swapped del sol. had it between like 5-6 grand and dropped it, it didn't move. made a real bad noise. the clutch was already going anyway... but then had it in nuetral and tried to move again and just a grinding noise.
I just know that Honda didn't do that best job with this car... I have started hearing many things about how shitty the clutch, trans, diff, etc... are not built good at all.
So i have some time to start to work on it and i was wondering what some of you guys have done with yours... they obviously can't handle much at all. I am not building it up crazy or anything but I want to do the occasional burn out and maybe run it a few times. i just want something that can handle a little abuse! =)
