Wondering if one would be a good modification on my Eunos track car? The cars not used on road so I don't have to worry about looking a tit, however I still don't want one unless I'm going to feel a diffence to the cars grip. Also no good if its only going to slow me down more on the straights that benefit me in the corners.
Yes with bodywork to match including a splitter (Airdam)...Today our Porsche 911 GT3 ripped its splitter off and with themassive carbon rear spoiler it understeered like crazy and wouldn't get around any corners what so ever! So if you for it..,consider the effects towards the rest of your car!
BTW the Euno (MX5) is awesome as it is...don't ruin it. If you want ideas check the race series and aerodynamic aids on them...If they don't use it...chances are...it doesn't work for the car.

In theory there could be benifits if done correctly, however I'd not bother personally. The MX5 is a great little car as it is, and I'd be investing my money in suspension, rubber, brakes, and power before considering aero.
As mentioned above, it will only really work most effectively as part of a fully aero package.
Since the MX5's inspiration was the Elan, why not follow the path that Chapman (Colin, rather than Graham) would have and go for "maximum lightness". Look at composite panels where available, or at least removing unwanted trims and drilling / removing inner skins.
Only Aero mod that might be worth a look could be a fixed hard-top.
