I do actually, without the ITG filter socks on here:

EDIT: although I wouldn't say it does it a lot of justice - it's deeper and more menacing than that makes it sound.

Here's another clip:

Hello MX5'ers, I bought mine last week and have lots of plans for it. Im only 20 so its taken me a while to save my pennies together for it, but so far...its been so worth it! I hope to try my hand at racing this summer Alex

Hello!

Be prepared to remain skint if you're going racing

ETA - sort your barn-doors out! The headlight covers aren't sitting flush with the bonnet; you can ease them back into place/make 'em flush by hand...

Looks lovely. Is it just ITBs, or is there cams, valvetrain or other mods to the engine as well? And how much power is it now putting out?

I always thought that it would be nice to see a proper ITB'd MX-5 twink that had kept NA rather than going FI.

Theres quite a few of them about, a few in the UK and a bunch of them in the states on clubroadster.net

They sound fab, i love the idea of doing it too - its just £££ and its a relative unknown compared to FI.

If I could get a manifold made up easily, and work out the fuelling, I'd be tempted to go with bike TB's.

I was wondering about the feasability/relative benefits of using ITB's but with a shared plenum and using the std Air flow sensor over the end of the plenum, (like BMW M engines).

It's ITBs and cams too I think, by RS Aizawa in Japan - it revs beyond 8k, but peak power is at 7.5k. Only actually makes 120bhp but it's only a 1.6 and most of them struggle to make 100bhp at Surrey Rolling Road where I had it done.
