I'm all about the classic roadster experience and love the sweet song played by a highly tuned dohc 4-cylinder breathing through 4 air horns. The question is, which is more RJDM: Kehin FCR carburetors or IRTB fuel injection? If someone popped the hood at your local Miata meet, which would impress you the most? I understand the limitations that come with using carbs but it seems so Road&Ster to do it anyways. One of the Joyfast cars has some sweet looking FCRs.
My car is toy, not a daily driver and I have no emissions testing requirements where I live. All I care about is the weekend experience e.g. back roads, HPDEs, local club autocrosses (no classification necessary modification unlimited within bounds of safety), car shows, etc. I figure the flat slides can be purchases for much less money than IRTBs but are more troublesome to tune. I have limited experience with carbs - much prefer to stare at a laptop and press buttons. Having said that, how easy is it to tune the FCRs as compared to Webers DCOEs or S.U. carbs?
