But door bars made a rigid connection from your rear rollbar to the front wheel well area and "closed" the top section of the car like a roof would. Going from a C channel to a boxed frame. I have a floppy SC430 that I added an underbody brace to that made a phenomenal difference. You can tell just by looking at how the image vibrates in the mirrors. You guys are inspirational!

Chassis bracing is worth it. I've found "X" or "box" under chassis bracing does a lot more than strut tower bracing, especially if they're located near or connected to the subframe. I used a box frame brace bolted to the back of the front subframe on an R56 MINI and it made a noticeable difference especially in steady state cornering. Turn-in was much sharper too.

[@facundopepeschell7561]

The first test was about torsion, and the other two where about flexing. The biggest imporvement for torsion is actually the rollbar you had already installed. To increase torsion resistance, you could install some sort of X reinforcement beneath the chasis, kinda hard to do with the transmission shaft in the middle, tho.

[@dc292177917]

Dude I love this series. As an NA owner this show gives me SO much insight into all the stuff I've thought about doing to my car.

[@joseph-ow1hf]

I put an X-brace (goes behind rear seat and ties rear wells together) In MK6 sport wagon. Cheapest , but best mod yet, besides Eagle F1 tires. Now the suspension works correctly. Running GTI springs, but put in Koni Sport dampers, which were frankly over damped for the spring rate. Fun to drive hard, but ride bumpy and car felt 'nervous'. Stiffer chassis makes it all work correctly. Now it's still a bit stiff, but all feels properly controlled. So, yeah, chassis bracing works.

[@jrmyadventr]

As an amateur mechanic I absolutely love this series. Am I working on a Miata, no, but it's great to see the journey and process of this very relatable build 👍

[@leejk3926]

I've been waiting for a new episode of Money Pit since yesterday and I'm so glad this is what the topic was. I've been looking chassis bracing on my NA6 so this really helped me understand how easy is it as long as you take the plunge of drilling some holes. From what people in the forums have said, the biggest impact is from the door bars, and probably also the good roll bar with that too for even better results. After that would be the frame rails, which are a good idea to install as many owners or mechanics will jack up their MX5/Miata/Roadster on the "stock" frame rails which ARE NOT MEANT FOR THAT AT ALL. Seriously, they will crush like mud the second you left they see any pressure from a jack or jackstands. They can also get damaged say if you're too low and go over a rough bend like a steep driveway. The fender braces I've not heard much about so IDK what to say about them but the door bushings are actually supposed to be really good as well. Partially for driver sanity with less noise but also because the meeting point of the two strong point, being the door, now being more rigid as Zack said. Getting a subframe brace (the later NA Miatas already came with them but my 1992 did not) on the front and rear will make a good difference as will having a strut tower brace. The subframe braces plus a stiff anti roll bar will also keep the alignment from changing as you drive it hard.

[@shaneswiley]

That roll bar i a joke. It will help with stiffness, but you need to be able to draw a straight line from the top of the roll bar to the front of the car and NOT HAVE YOUR HEAD CROSS The LINE. Doughnut has really been disappointing me lately with their builds. Both rollcages in high and low car seem to not have backing plates, and now this "roll bar" in the miata that doesn't even protect this guy in a rollover incident. Yeah, maaaaaybe the rollbar will prevent him from death, but he'll be a vegatable at best. Pleeeeeaaass, Leejk. Look at how real roll bars and cages are made and installed before you put your hard earned money into this type of stuff that will not protect you. Seriously, these guys are messing up. Don't fall for it.

It's pretty important to check the fasteners after a while of actual stressed driving. Some say red loctite is a must, I'm not convinced but it can't hurt (especially if you already have it on hand).

Blue one will do the job. Red is for permanent only.

As a automotive engineer I can tell that most of a car body movement and flex comes from when it's in motion and road impact cross ( X ) access . Even though he didn't see much difference while testing with his laser, he'll definitely feel it while driving.

0:25 "Well some of them are built so the front doesn't fall off at all." "Wasn't this built so the front wouldn't fall off?" "Well, obviously not." "How do you know?" "Well, because the front fell off.. And 20,000 tonnes of crude oil spilled into the SeaCaught Fire! It's a bit of a giveaway. I'd just like to make the point that it not normal."

there are way more sexual references in this episode than I was expecting after the opening line "Let's Get Stiff!" 🤣😂

It's ok, the miata wont break.

Suddenly I have questions about Bart from science garage mysteriously "leaving"

[@jrmyadventr]

And this is why you use stands and not just a jack 😂

[@junatah5903]

Buts it's okay though, miatas are worthless and over rated so a little bit of damage might add to the price.

Every performance car I have ever owned, chassis stiffening is the first thing I do. It's really dramatic. Where you will really notice it is turning in to a corner with a bump. With a flexible chassis the tires will unplant and by the time they come back down you realize you are off your line. But when a stiffer chassis the tires stays in contact with the road (chassis flex is like a undampened spring.) and you will follow your line better.
