When i was looking to build a Haynes one of the most convincing arguments for using the MX5 lump was the ability to use it's robust and efficient fuel injection system rather than having to throw money and time into sorting out alternative induction systems.

I am sure there are some mods you could make to the air intake / air filter to improve the induction roar without compromising performance.

Thanks for the comments, but i was brought up on Twin Cams & twin 40's, it's probably me just wanting to re-live those days!! It maybe that i end up with the stock injection system, i suppose it will depend on funds at the time! Maybe throttle bodies would be a reasnoble compromise?

Go for throttle bodies, with trumpets & air filter socks. Or if you want to go real old school, when I first passed my test, I had an Astra mk3 injection. I was totally broke paying finance, so I pinched a pair of my girlfriends tights, ditched the air box, and pulled one leg of the tights over the airflow meter. Lol. Oh the good old days where you just didn't give a stuff ! Good days. p.s the tights were for the car, honest !
