Did you have it looked over by a shop???? You never know how many miles are on that thing...... Seals and bearings don't last forever

Inline says they didn't do anything with theirs, from the junk yard to the car
Thats still not a bad price

Full-Race pulled it apart and inspected it. No issues. The R200 diff is one tough part, and it takes an awful lot to get her to fail.

Sure that diff looks dirty, but chances are the internals are still good. As for the leaking part, I used Hondabond when I put the new diff cover on.

i bought two r200 diffs. both are junkyard specials that i got from a friend who works at a salvage yard. the cars i had them pulled from had 35xxx and 52xxx miles on them. i had them checked for backlash, metal shavings, and all other abuse before i took them. i got them for $250 a piece. got 'em home, cleaned 'em up with the wire wheel and painted them.

The rear diff is bolted in! Pretty darn good feeling there.
