That's a shame Sasso that you feel that it is "still just words" and you "don't care". Mokesta's written assessment of Mazda's PPF design and the 'aftermarket stiffener' is based on a wealth of knowledge and experience. I know that you're studying Electrical Engineering, however, having an understanding of basic engineering principles in other fields will certainly be to your advantage as a professional electrical engineer. Neither of us were trying to belittle you, we were just trying to help you and others on the forum understand the engineering principles behind Mazda's PPF. Bugger.....I'm starting to sound like Mr Morlock :lol:

Cheers,

Just about all undergrads and new grads think they know all about engineering... until you ask them to design something.

I can't wait :roll:

for my next batch of 3 grads to start after their final exams in November. {sigh..} More noses to wipe. Another couple of months of shot productivity.

Good to hear its 4 years well spent. I can't wait till I get out, I am pretty certain I will not know much of use either, at least I am around plenty of knowledgable people to help guide me.

I doubt average Joe Bloggs would get in a car like the mx5 and think the chassis rails aren't stiff enough. It wasn't worth the money to Mazda. Replace frame rail with say, refrigerated cubby hole as it's essentially the same notion. It's bad service to force things on customers they don't need or want and charge them for it.
