    Taikan Door Blocks - Ken Auto Japan

    TAIKAN KEN AUTO JAPAN

    Ken Auto original rigidity Mazda Miata door panel parts.
    Its name is (Taikan) And it is possible to feel the body "experience", analogy in human, we are subjected to a "trunk" of the trunk training that has become commonplace. The dare part is referred to as "Taikan", it also means "experience can be. ?It is the "human trunk" part which it is very difficult to forge it in human beings, and is quiet, but thinks whether it is in transverses abdominal muscle and stomach bias line when I compare this ?Taikan? to human muscle.
    The ?Taikan" installation position. It is the monologue of the roadster with the higher stiffness for exclusive use of a convertible consisting of the floor tunnel in addition to the side sill of right and left, but the human trunk part of the body to add it to this side sill rigidity, and to constitute with "Taikan + door panel" bends it and it is powerful and will support the load and twist load.

    TAIKAN can be installed to the NA and ND

    ? Steering response will get much better.
    ? You will feel a firm feeling that comes through from the sheet.
    ? You will begin to understand the difference in the movement of the foot circumference.
    ? The sound quality of the door speakers will improve and you will get much better sound quality.
    ? The deflection from the shock will improve on the road surface and when you drive over the manholes you will not get the vibrating sound. The TAIKAN will improve the overall feeling of the car.

    Please note that considering the deformation from previous years vehicles, this piece might require some sanding (especially for NA) to fit perfectly. It is not a manufacturer defect, it's meant to keep the thickest size and highest rigidity possible so that every vehicle is equipped with the most thick unit possible (every vehicle is unique and making one-size-fits-all reduces maximum rigidity).

    Is it just me, or is it entirely unclear what the heck that gadget does? It improves steering response, the sound of the door speakers, and what else? It makes food taste better, will make you popular with the chicks, and will lower your mortgage payments all at the same time? Is this product a joke?

    For those wondering how this will make an effect, this basically removes the non-interference rubber bushing stop and replaces it with a interference bushing for added chassis rigidity


    (See Photo Below) the Blue Pentagon lower rear area of this car is where it mounts, it replaces the spongy rubber OEM piece, the black areas forward are representing the hangers, and rear middle section is the lock

    once you do this you basically create a nice solid box for the door.

    It is just a very good bang for the buck. I already had a pretty stiff Miata (leather package 97 with fender bars, full FM butterfly and aftermarket sways/suspension) and I still felt a reduction in NVH after installing TAIKAN.

    The speakers sounding better is just a bonus!

    and they look a lot better than the OEM beat up and dried up rubber bushing. (at least my GS ones do)
