Not at all mark, everything is still square, no cracked welds, no stress fractures just a bit of scratched powdercoat.
The rear casting on the mx5 diff is actually pretty poor in terms of stregnth, it weighs less than 1 kilo and when inspected, there are large air bubbles within the alloy, you could drop one from less than a meter and shatter it to bits. The only ones that are stronger are the smooth cased castings used on some of the early viscous diffs which are crap in comparison to the torsens, they are rare as rocking horse shit though, iv heard of the drift boys paying £250 just for a case to fit to locked torsens
