What is this part? Bolts from intake to..somewhere

Thats the part, this is where it mounted to:

It was hanging loose for a while - the bolt was stick in there - I had to drill the head of the bolt off, and then take it out - if its important I'll order a new bolt and put it back in
Thanks for any help to identify this!

Don't be so sure about that....
IIRC, that piece missing is one of the reasons Emilio's throttle body plate/flapper screw came loose and almost went through the motor. :-o
If I were you, I'd leave it in unless there is a reason you can't (oil cooler lines or something).

I have been around Miatas (pro wrench and owner) since they first came out and never heard of such a thing. All of my Miatas have lost the brace when they come into my hands...makes maintenance a whole lot easier.
The most likely reason the engineers installed it was for NVH (Noise Vibration Harshness).

Was there proof of that or just a SWAG?
