Can any one tell me if a diff from a mk2 1.8 (nb8) will fit my mk1 1.6 (na6) .
I will get all drive shafts and diff as package..

Thanks any help appreciated Evan

Thanks nico cheers for the reply [THUMBS UP SIGN]

You're welcome lad
If your car is a standard 1.6 you will find it too long geared if you keep your 5speed box.
AFAIK if yours is a 4.3 at the moment, the 3.9 or even 3.6 diff ratio from the mk2 will make it really long geared.
I have a 5 speed + 3.9 and that suits the turbo setup pretty well, but if yours is non turbo, either get a 6speed box (very close ratios, 6th speed is like the 5th one from the 5 speed box), or perhaps get a mk1 1.8 4.1 diff instead of the mk2 one
And also keep in mind that the clocks will under read your speed unless you mix and match cogs and sleeves from mazda for the speed sensor
