My door sills are from Jass, so I'm familiar with their quality. This mod has been on my to do list for a while, but I've been trying to figure out which ones I want. Thanks for showing the differences. I still don't want to rule out the FM rails yet. They have the additional butterfly brace available for those. Ahhh decisions decisions....

@MiataMods 7 жыл бұрын

Yeah the butterfly brace really helps stiffen up the chassis but because the brace has to clear the exhaust you will have a lot less ground clearance.. we got a lot of big bumps here in my country and I also want to lower the car a bit so a butterfly brace was out of the question 😛

Till i told the shop only go w OE slave so anyone else haveing the same isue go w Oe. Its hard to find & cost lil more but worth it. My repair shop warranty them everytime just a headake not knowing when it was going to fail. & after my car passes the 10 yr old age AAA is a life saver. I bought my miata as a 2 nd vehicle cause. I live in Ftl its the perfect beach car & keep getting offers from many people everywhere. I go. I love how it hugs the roundabouts like its on rails. Keep doing videos neil.

If you follow all my steps you will have no problems with that! As a additional step you could add some silicone under the big washer and bolt on top so there is a watertight seal on both sides. In combination with the stainless steel frame rails and mounting hardware from Jass Performance you will have no problems! I think it's even better because now when you hit your chassis rails on something it will take the paint right off and start rusting.. and you are from the UK, you should totally represent Jass Performance dude 😌

@yuuyiatakahashi1943 7 жыл бұрын

It's sounds really silly but when I was looking to buy my first Miata, a few cars I drove had that 60-70mph-ish shimmy that you are talking about and after speaking to a local Miata specific shop I was told that it came down to a few possible causes. 1. Most common was over inflated front tires, if you are running stock wheel and tire sizes they don't seem to like anything above 26-28psi 2. Worn tie rod ends and/or ball joints. Just inspect those components as you normally would and look for sloppiness, replace if needed. 3. Also a possibility of worn control arm bushings, inspect and replace if defective (Good excuse to upgrade to quality poly bushings.) Lastly and most dreadful 4.wheel bearing. Again, inspect properly and replace if necessary Hope this helps.

The shake could be wheel hubs, front is if the steering wheel vibrates past a certain speed, rears if it doesnt. I would check the hubs by jacking the car and shaking each wheel to see if it knocks or wiggles while the wheel is being held in place.

I have no experience in car maintenance or mechanics (or tools) but I want to learn over time and get better, your videos will certainly be useful. I love your style, very organised and doing things properly (are you sure you're not German?!). Today I fixed my boot opening mechanism by buying a secondhand relay on eBay for £5.99 and fitting it. Now my boot button under the steering wheel and key fob can 'pop the trunk', a small thing but very satisfying. Next to paint my wiper arms (I watched your video) and then to tackle the rust underneath...I'm just about to search for a video on this - I hope you have one! Thanks! :)

1- My last experience with a speed related shimmy (1970 Barracuda) was a bent rim. 2- My concern with this would be: have you now created a moisture trap between the new SS rail and the old Chasis (non-SS) any crack or break in the coating could lead to rust?

@MiataMods 6 жыл бұрын

I don't think that is the case but I do understand what you mean.. I only will know for sure when I would to remove the frame rails.. I think it will be fine tho. The frame rails have a few holes in the bottom so moisture can get out.. I hope :-)

I personally did not want to use a butterfly brace because of the ground clearance.. the brace sits closer to the ground in comparison to the frame-rails because the brace needs to clear the exhaust.. that's something to take into consideration

Ice cube tray? I use a muffin tin! Much larger to hold the screws! But its one of my favorite tricks, you can put your bolts into each compartment in order of removal, then as you assemble, go in reverse order and you know which bolts go where

the meme pics are kinda unnecessary and can get a bit cringy sometimes but the pointing arrows and red circles are a nice addition

Thanks for the feedback. I know that not everybody likes the meme pics but that's just my editing style and I like them :) Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoyed the video!
