    One small criticism: If you drill a hole or make a cut you should always put on some paint to prevent it from rusting. I usually use some zinc-spray if the color is not important because it dries really fast. Such small holes can lead to some really nasty rust problems a few years in the future.
    It is also a good idea to put some grease or cavity wax(I hope this is the right word^^) between washers and the big mounting plates and the chassis to prevent water from getting in.

  • @tstanator
    @tstanator 6 лет назад

    PROTIP: Rent or borrow an impact gun, and not just for drilling. The nuts are all lock nuts, which is great for having them not back out over time, but a pain in the ass to install if you have to tighten them with a 6" socket and a box wrench.
    This looks like an M1 sport bar(?). The install is different for each of their models as I found when installing my Ace and tried to use this video as a guide (mainly when it comes to front holes near the seatbelt tower, this mounted in front of it while mine mounts on the side. Also had to cut more out of the shelf and in a different area). Still gave me a good idea of what to expect, though.

  • @tedstriker754
    @tedstriker754 3 года назад

    hmm, i've taken more of those out than installed them. If not doing crazy driving, there's a lot of negatives having that roll bar behind. Most of them barely allow the top to be folded down. And if it has a glass rear window, it definitely won't allow it to fold down and stow. They also eat up a lot of the room behind the seats, so limited capacity.

    I've done some research and a lot of people say that rollbars are actually less safe for daily driven Miatas than not having one. I guess the fear is getting rear ended and crushing your skull against the metal bar. I saw people saying that even with the addition of foam padding it wouldn't really be enough to cushion your head without a helmet. I suppose one has to figure whether rolling over or getting rear ended is more likely. I'd like to know your thoughts on this, because I only did a little bit of research on the subject and it scared me out of installing a rollbar on my NA.

      They're quite similar since they are essentially the same car. NA steering feels slightly better but the NB chassis feels more solid to me. I personally picked up a 10AE NB after driving about 10 different NAs, NB1s, and NBFLs. It felt best to me and I also liked the six-speed. I also couldn't find a really good example of an NA, all had something wrong with them.
