Hi guys im jsut wonderign if any one knows any stores that sell 3a racing pod filters? ive looked around on the interwebs and found a few online stores but id rather buy it in person if the option is available. I dont liek the idea of sending money to a random and hoping i get what i paid for!

auto salon did a review back in 07 and out of 10 filters the 3a racing came first in flow and second in filtration behind the k&n! thats pretty damn good for 35 dollar pod.

A filter almost exclusively sold only by Autobarn, which they coincidentally never seem to stock... :rolleyes:

I haven't heard anything bad said about it. I think I may have been told you can't re-oil it though. Someone will chime in if I'm wrong.

Correct. Built dry. Used dry.

I've got a Drift one on the Paseo, and just bought one for the MR2. Gav, I don't know where you're going to but when I was at Autobarn, they had HEAPS of the suckers on the shelf!

I went to the AB at Slacks Creak, and they had no Drift filters, but they tried to sell me K&N and some other weird K&N derivative brand that is made with urethane instead of rubber. I particularly wanted 3A Racing or Drift, so I ended up getting the 3A Racing filter online (just before the price went up $5 too).

I was in there a weekend ago, walk past spares and on the end of the first row just past performance there was a HUGE display with only Drift stuff there :blink:

Beats me, I just went straight up to the perf' counter and asked for what I wanted. I got annoyed very quickly with their carry on about how gay CAI's are, and trying to sell me what I didn't want, so I left. There could've been a display when I was there 3 or 4 weeks ago, dunno?

Hey Guys, I have the impression that you guys do not like the K&N pod filter. Any particular reason? What would be some better pod filters than K&N? :-l

I don't necessarily not like them, they are just expensive (and illegal up here as their are an oiled type - not to good for MAF sensored cars either).

the build up of oil on the maf only occurs over a LONG period of time, it's no where near as quick as people make it out to be. i've had a k&n on my sportivo for ages and the maf is still very clean. even if it is dirty, then clean it! doesnt mean that its "bad" for it.

I would choose an oiled filter over an un-oiled foam filter any day. For some reason, I really don't like the idea of a foam filter that has no oil on it. It just doesn't seem as effective the way I see it. That said though, I'm not a fan of oiled filters either (so it's the lesser of two evils). My hate for oiled filters is that in the past I've had cases where there would be residue left behind on the walls of the intake piping. I just didn't like having to clean all that up.

That's where I got my A3 pod from, and I only paid $27.50 a month ago, but I did receive it THE VERY NEXT DAY! I sent the guy an email thanking him for the fast service and good pricing, but I guess it went to his head...?

I kno you said you didnt want websites, but I ordered from these guys sometime last year. Delivery is quick, you get to pick what colour pod you want, and is pretty cheap. I bought two of em, 1 for myself and another for a mate.

thanks mate

you can buy mine (3a Racing) if you want. brand new, unuesed, bought it a couple of weeks ago from burwood for $35.00. its red filter with black ring. i fitted the TRD one that came with the TRD CAI instead. $20.00 pick up inner west. I have no use for it now.

PM me if intersted and i'll give you my PH# and add.

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
