Best AM Air filter for our cars?

[Mr.PFloyd]

I need one badly. Mine was absolutey dirty. i was thinking K&N but somepeople said it was bad?
also my rear wiper isnt working. my fuse is good cause the front 2 areworkign but rear isnt. is it my motor?

I have no problems with my K&N, seems to work great for me.

The rear wiper motor is often a culprit - it's easy to check, just pull the plastic panelling off the hatch and check it out. Needless to say, if the motor is all rusted to hell, it won't work properly... like my antenna motor.

I use K & N FIPK (or something like that), no problems. They do say that the oil can cause problems getting into the intake and clogging the AFM. If I had to do it now, I'd just get a generic K & N cone filter with an adapter and save abouit $100. Also I wouldn't get the cleaning kit since K & N says you should not clean the filter too often. It performs best a little dirty...........?
I had an HKS foam filter. It seems to show dirt easily. I switched because I just can't see foam filtering small particles and I did the NA>T conversion so I had a different AFM. The K & N seems constructed heavier, not so much plastic.

Why buy a K&N when you can buy an Apex-I Power intake that Flow better, Filters better and is Cheaper than an FIPK?

K&N FIPK's are junk compared to Power intakes unless you know someone who can get you the K&N unit for dirt cheap or you found it in the garbage somewhere.

Stay away from everything else and buy the Apex-i unit.

:werd: but good luck getting it. it took three months for me to obtain mine. they're always on back order... so if you're impatient, don't bother.

Good point... give Jeff a call at HPF and see if they got them in stock... tell him i sent you, maybe he will give you a Small discount lol

 

[supra90turbo]

lol... i can picture him calling...
"hello? is this Jeff? oh hi. well, im looking for an apex-i air filter. flub-yucks-2 told me to call, and that i would get his discount"

nice to see you around a little more, flub

 

[flubyux2]

LOL... HPF automatically gives you a 1% discount for buying stuff off teh internets. but, Jeff will sometimes quote me prices that are better than the Shopping cart function on HPF... Jeff has helped us out ALOT in the past few months, and has a few thousand dollars of my friend's money too. i send him business and he helps us out. So, I heart you Jeff!

and i have this fleeting urge to be actve in the MK3 community. it helps me gain ambition to work on Supras and the Ambition to spend money on them... Ambition to work on it is easy to come by, but ambition to spend $1200 on pistons and rods ALONE is whole different ballgame!

flubyux2: just noticed that you have the wheels that I want on my next mkiii... dammit, now i can't get them! they look great!

 

[kwnate]

Jeff no longer works for HPF. There is a thread in the HPF vendor section. I know, I'm sad too...:cry:

 

[flubyux2]

DammiT!!!!! that freakin sucks! ... IM officially PISSED! i was going to order ALL Of my engine parts from him too... now i may have to buy from Titan to get any sort of a price break... and im not even big fans of Nero and Bottle... dammit!

im gonna have to check it out and see what happened.

Thanks for the nod of approval Ken! you should see the polished classics on these cars, they look freakin awesome. you could also do the 500's. i was diggin the 500's on the MK3 for a few weeks!
