Does anyone in Melbourne have the arbor and hole saw that I can borrow to install my mania intake ?
Don't wanna spend money on something I'd be using only once
Cheers,
Elton

Sounds like a great excuse to drive to Healesville, visit the sanctuary and then drive the black spur with your new intake when you drop the saw back.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

drive up and do the installation in there if possible, then you can test it out when you are on the way back home

Maybe contact MX5 Club Victoria, I think they might have one for rent (not sure if they only rent it to club members though)

This is fine with me, you'll just need to bring you own drill, or you will be sitting there for half an hour trying to get through the fire wall with the one I have.
