Looking good. What is the quality tube/welds/finish of the Autopower bar like? There setup is on my short list of sources.

The welds are good, not the best I have seen, but they dont look too bad. I was impressed with the product overall, the car feels noticeably stiffer in the rear now. They do not do much finish work so I painted the bar semiflat, they just barely paint it to keep surface rust/corrosion off, so I would sandblast it and paint it before installing. The way the miata bar mounts is extremely solid (you could easily lift the car by it i would think) it took 12 grade 9 nuts/bolts and two studs to install it. I would buy another if needed.

How much power did it give you?

I think it gives the MX-5 a much more masculine look, I had a 1.8i sport in the slightly older shape and wish I had installed a roll bar. I loved mine, just couldn't fit in it comfortably.

"How much power did it give you?"

Large amounts

A few tasteful mods and the miata looks quite angry

good to have one of them bars nearly swiped one in my Titan truck the other day cuz that lil thing snuck up on me:-P


any power mods so far?

Pokiou 08-28-2008 06:49 PM

all you need now is the Bullet mod (v8 lexus engine) and you will be a force that needs to be reckons with !

PaulGT2164 08-28-2008 09:20 PM

obviously you havent seen my last miata, 441whp on pump, 620ish on race. with a built 1.8 haha I think the thread is still on here somewhere. If not I can post pics.

as for my ratio...I dont know where that comes from, i stopped downloading from here long before the ratios were in effect. I use bittorrent for other sites however.

Only power mods are i fabbed me an intake and heat shield. I have a 93 shell that will get the majority of crazy work, this is just a daily.

Thanks for the positive comments. Soon as I am done seam welding the 93 i will start posting pics. It will be a pretty hardcore car.

Even for a daily driver a rollbar is a good idea!

Looking forward to that other one though ;)

Don't worry about Spiffu he's just angry because he can only do a single rear wheel burnout.
I have the 06 model, I don't have that problem.
