The 1.6 diff is a smaller ring gear diameter- you'll need to use the 1.8 housing. At that point, lots of stuff will just bolt right in.

Nope, Not IT compliant. In IT the 1.6 car is stuck with its stock diff housing, in SM the 1.6 is allowed to upgrade to the 94-97 later 1.8 housing which uses first gen RX7 gears. The same gears are used in the RX8, the Honda S2000 and the Kia Sportage as well.
All posts are made by a fat old guy with a crappy old car that isnt supported by a factory anymore and therefore should not be taken seriously, EVER

There are (were) 4.8's available for the 1.6 rearend. When I ran my 1.6 in ITA, I had an Ekerich diff with them in it. I picked it up off Bowie, and I think it went with the car when I sold it.

I'd go with a 4.44 if Steve can customize something for you.
