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.

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 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.

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.

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...?

      Replace Front RH park light Corolla 2006

      Hi, I am new to this forum and i hope i can get some help. The mechanic said he can't tell me how it's done. I will keep this in mind before i take a car there again. Interestingly, the manual only refers to the front LH side Replacement of the Front RH park light Corolla 2006, but not the RH side. Could anyone alight me on this? Thank you.

      Aftermarket Air Intake

      The camry/aurion NA ones fit fine with the TRD. The throttlebody is the same diameter etc. The main issue with them is the breather pipes are setup differently but that's not a big deal. I've not seen one designed specifically for the TRD(There are lotus ones but the engine is orientated differently). Some of the intakes designed for the NA version are as follows: -K&N: 69-8611TS -AEM: AEM 21-870C -AF Dynamic: 0715-TV-HS -HPS Shortram: 827-534 I designed and printed a MAF pipe and filter enclosure with an attachment to goto the stock air intake locations but never got around to create the pipe that connects the two together, If you have the ability to print in a high temp resistant material I can probably share my files. I personally use the AEM intake and it works and sounds well.

      RZN169 Poor fuel economy and low/rough idle at cold start up

      Hi all, First time writter. Long term reader. I have a RZN169r 1999 Toyota Hilux 3rzfe Manual 4WD with 425,000KM. Which we have owned from 130,000KM. Since about the 400,000km mark (it had a new/used 138,000km engine only, installed at 385,000KMs) it has been using fuel and idiling rough. I'm getting 100kms less then usual. We would normally get 450-550kms per tank. Now getting 350km-400kms. Our long term mechanic of 20 years retired a few years ago and I have no one in my local area who knows these engines or who I trust. Any sugestions on who I can take my car to? I also have no faith in my local Toyota Dealer. I'm in Sydney NSW. Thank you in advance.

      Purchasing 2014 Prado GXL - Requesting Inputs

      Hello, Thanks for reading my post. We're in the middle of the process of buying 2014 Prado GXL from a private buyer in Brisbane. It has 107K km on the odometer, we arranged an independent inspection and only noticeable issue came out of the inspection is presence of rust. Inspector said general wear (ageing) and rust to the components consistent with the age and mileage. I've attached some of the images(related to rust) from the inspection, please review and let me know if I should be concerned about any future issues or as the inspector mentioned is the rust presence is expected for a 10-year old Prado. Appreciate your help in advance. Thanks, VM
