    FS: KenAuto TAIKAN Door Bushings for Miata MX5

    FS: KenAuto TAIKAN Door Bushings for Miata MX5

    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. Taikan 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 , NB, NC, 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).

    I have performed the test fitting with the Ken Auto TAIKAN on the 2016 MX-5 Miata ND. I use the Demo Car of GarageVary ND to perform the test, I was able to install it without any problems, and I did not measure the dimension of the genuine parts. The test result was very good, I would recommend using the TAIKAN for the ND. I would like to say thank you very much in advance.

    from what I've seen, the KenAuto ones are thicker, and a tighter fit (may require some sanding on some cars, due to the one size fits all). There's a pic/thread that has a comparison.

    I've had mine for over 3 months now and they've have adjusted quite nicely now. No longer need to slam the door as hard as I did at first.

    By the way I have won in both series races, the Fuji Speedway and Sport Land SUGO. I have a double championship for the 2014 season.
