At 150.00 shipped , it might not be a bad idea to pick it up as a spare if you can't afford the 1.8 stuff. I would think that with as many people running the 1.6s in specmiata that there might be some kinda market for the 1.6 vsld if you never used it and then got the money for the 1.8 swap.

yes. it's the ring-gear that will fail.
Piece together a 1.8 torsen rear or RX7 LSD rear little by little untill you have the time/effort/money to invest in it. otherwise, just treat the rear-end you have with a little respect (ie, no clutch dumps & drifting).

Spec miata guys prefer the clutch type from mazda over the vlsd.
Think about it this way. Is the extra couple of hundred dollars worth not missing work or an exam and spending the money all over again because your diff broke on the freeway?

but i'll probably end up getting the 1.6 VLSD for now and in about 6 months or so taking it out for a 1.8 setup and re-selling it....

I was looking around for the past few months for a LSD they go for $ 800 to 1000.
Do not even think of a 6" diff. it is just a waste of money.
The "cheap" way is to buy a open 7" (1.8L) for now and they upgrade the internals later to a Torsen of RX-7 clutch type later.
If you are thinking ... OBX .... go kick yourself they are no stronger that the 1.6L open diff
