I assume that by "Speed" you mean "Mazdaspeed"?

I don't know anyone who has done what you're looking for (no reason it couldn't be done if your air flter had some rigid protection around it to prevent damage) but most of us go with the AEM CAI. It's easy to install, cleans up your engine bay and dramatically improves your power.

I'd recommend purchasing via the US since it's a LOT cheaper than sourcing locally. Even taking S&H into account it's MUCH cheaper.

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Get the one from Goodwin Racing, it's about what I paid for it and they are MX5 specialists so you KNOW that it will be exactly what you need. The Aussie dollar looks like it's climbing at the moment so you might want to take that into account.
