That is not my car on the lift.

That is Jay's car from EVO-R, I believe....As you can see the Greddy Turbo downpipe under there.

If it is mating up with the OEM holes I dont see why it wouldnt fit with Mazdaspeed or any others that have the same locations for the holes.

I am just as excited to get this piece as mine is missing right now...

now seeing that the oe floor pan is more than just the bottom plane of the front of the car, and goes upward flanking the wheel wells to direct air towards the rad and engine bay, have you experienced any problems or concerns now that you no longer have those side walls to direct the air??? Does your floor underpanel do anything of the formentioned sort???

Yep, that's my car at shop. I have the front under gaurd on now. It really looks nice, alot better than cheap plastic one. going on track on the 28th. See if these strut bars and link makes a difference.

It seems the fender bar and the 4 point tower bar are the best thing next to custom cage.

That underpanel looks similar to that of Beatrush / Laile underpanels. I've used the Beatrush stuff on my Miata including almost all of the braces that you had offered as well.

Honest feedback....

Those pieces didn't do much except for add bling. I even had Boss Frog Arms similar to your Fender braces that you were planning to offer.

Mazda does a pretty good job strengthening the chassis rigidity.

The MAJOR increase in chassis stiffening came when I installed a 6 point roll cage with door bars.

I still did like how the bling looked though

You can check it out here, let me know if you want to give it a whirl I will throw a really nice price at you.

As for the braces they are not available yet, but if you would like to get in on a pre order for discounted prices now is a good time to get in.

Thanks

I love my Buddy Club E Throttle Controller. Really give me fast responds on the throttle. I think this is more notice on AT. This is better than Blitz and PIVOT. Cuz it has more level adjust than others.
