After driving through a flooded road the bottom part of this thing was scaping along the floor. I've tied it up with tie wraps for now, was thinking of drilling and securing with nuts and bolts. any thoughts? And what is it?

Thanks

I cant quite make it out but anything like that underneath is usually for added protection for vulnerable components.
What model is it?

It's the MX5 RF131ps sport.

From a bit of googling yesterday it might be a Y chassis brace, although the one I've seen advertised only looks like a single layer, whereas this is two pieces spot welded.

Try searching on miata.net as I'm pretty sure there was a similar post about that chassis brace recently.
