Hey everyone, my open diff on my s1 exploded, and I am going to be replacing it with an obx unit. I was just checking to see which one I need to get. I think it is the one for the 90-93 integra's correct? Is it obx part #9000??
Also-should I switch to enclosed bearings on the new diff when I install it?

TIA

-I posted this in the tech forum, but it wasn't getting any responses.

anybody?

Save your money, dont spend time on obx. They are cheap in price, and quality. Search for reveiws and past experiences on the product, then use common sense to figure out weather or not to buy it.

Did I ask "should I buy an obx diff?" -no. I could find just as many broken quaifes as obx's, so gtfo of my thread noobie. But thanks for the bump

Anybody have any useful input?

Also, would anyone know what helms manual I would use for this tranny? I am going to be swithing to the enclosed ball bearings, so would I need a different manual for a vehicle that uses the ball bearings, since I am going to have to set bearing clearance?

#1- My response wasnt meant to flame you.
#2- Learn to drive- Most of your posts are about you breaking your tranny.
#3- Stop asking people to sell you things you dont have the money for.
#4- As for being a noob, I was on H-T in 2000, and stopped posting because of people like you that have no respect for knowlegable responses.
#5- Stop arguing with people that give you useful info.

This is why you have no responses.
Now I think I'll get off your thread

-I never said you flamed me
-Yes, I have 566 posts about me breaking my tranny If you know anything about open diffs in s1 trannies, you will know that some of them have problems holding any type of power, due to to the weak material that was used for the differential pin.
-What the hell does that mean? Do you know how much money I have?
-I have no respect for knowlegable responses?? How the hell was your response knowlegable? It sure does take a lot of "knowledge" to jump on the HT bandwagon and hate anything that's not quaife, full race, mugen, spoon, etc..
-Your info was not useful in anyway.

In case you still don't understand, here would be an example of a useful response.

-Hey, you need to use the obx diff for the 90-93 integras, it is obx part number 9000. I would use the ball bearings since it is easier to set clearance with.

Does that make sense for you? Because that is a response i got via PM by someone who was actually knowlegable. So for future help for other people, the obx part number is 9000.

Haha, alright. I am going to be purchasing the obx tonight, it will be in my b16 hatch, which will eventually be putting down around 260 in the spring here. I will let everyone know how it goes!
