Well, the enlarged tract came off a 1.6 and it doesn't really fit all that well with the 1.8 (modders take note)
So David's gotta 'customise' it a bit (hack it) to fit
I think he did a great job though ... no complaints here ...

I shortened mine by about 10mm on each side and it fits heaps better.

I have the CAI from the MX5 Factory which is a Green Filter from the states. He said it was designed by him (MX5 Factory) and AVO....bullsh!t ,it's from http://www.greenfilterusa.com/twister.asp


I think Mania uses Simota air filters from memory
