NB Miata Rear Bar

Doryoku Race Bar’s philosophy of use & design

We designed this to be the best value bar on the market when it comes to weight, construction, design, add on options, price and total value. All bars are designed by scanning the OEM bumper bar/foam/support so that we can ensure the best fit and follow the existing shape. The race bar is intended to provide many performance benefits for track car applications (drag /road race) while allowing the user to customize the bar as they grow in the sport.

☆ Dual M8 pucks for diffuser support rods

M8 pucks make it easy to attach rear aero brackets or support rods.  M8 pucks are placed on the bar based on your setup. Consulting will be provided before fab.

☆ Jackpoint 

The rear diff is the traditional jacking point. The Miata diff is 40" away from the bumper. Most floor jacks are going to have 20-24" of reach (jack pad to lower handle). Super-long floor jacks will have 30-34" of reach but are $500 & weigh over +80lbs. You have to get down to eye level with the diff line up jack; then you still have to go through the motion of doing “micro-pumps” before the car is high enough to get any decent travel from the jack handle. This jackpoint tube eliminates those annoyances while keeping the visual footprint & bumper trimming minimal. If you work on your car constantly, auto-x or track you'll appreciate the ease of working on your car. Standard tube length of 7" and the jack pad extends ¼” below the bumper. Custom length jackpoint are available at no-charge.

 

 

 

Engineering Design Notes

Maximum Protection

The factory plastic tub leaves a 2” gap between bumper and tub. During contact the bumper pushed in resulting in damaged bumpers and bumper mounting tabs tearing off. We designed our bar to hug tightly behind the bumper cover so there is no movement of the bumper during contact. See tech link tab below. 

Jackpoint

Our jackpoint is engineered for strength with minimal weight. Other companies use triangular jackpoint which add excess weight. We designed a laser cut, CNC bend formed bracket that disperses the load to the bar. The tubular bar with jackpoint still weighs 1 lbs. less than the stock unit.
