If you arnt running the standard airbox, the Apexi is usually considered the way to go and is one of the cheaper options too.

I think the way its going might have to plan a trip to demon tweeks next wk-end Lee, as the ones i was looking at aren\'t fittable to the rx7???

So its a case of getting something that looks cool as well as being very efficent any ideas?
You mention Apexi any certain model?

I did see a Blitz sonic one for the rx7 on the web somewhere but cant remember the link:confused:  i think they\'ve only just arrived in the uk hence the price:eek:

If you have any numbers or contacts please advise, thanks:)

click here for a review of different induction kits  that link has been about for ages now so maybe out of date in terms of new models etc but still worth a  look & as Lee said apexi does come out rather well if yer buying new http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008\' target=\'_blank\'>http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/7/7_1_104v.gif\' border=0>

Si,

Scoobyworld no good!!! muppets only cater for the obvious, thought they might do a few others but no!!:(

Wanted to get a filter/induction today but running outta time so not looking likely no real outlets around my city?

Had my filter off today and as Ross said earlier hardly any room at all to play with so god knows what we shall get???:confused:
I think the earlier remarks at getting a twin filter is a def NO!

I talk to you tomorrow Si/John, see what we come up with.

had this back from whifbitz which sounds promising
"The Apexi kit is great value for money, it is a twin kit yes, everything is
included to fit straight on. I can do a 10% discount on them if I can get an
order of 5 together....

HKS filters are about £14.50 for small or £17.95 for large plus VAT"

Hmmm looks like i\'ll do at the least the replacement filter thing maybe more if i can be seduced http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008\' target=\'_blank\'>http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/11/11_5_12.gif\' border=0> lol

Damn it i\'m already skint till June i will need some time to convince myself it\'s cheaper to buy a decent kit that lasts over a cheap replacement which doesn\'t. hmmmmm (Si gets his torture gear out to start his self convincing http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008\' target=\'_blank\'>http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_2_111.gif\' border=0> lol) Watch this space & i\'ll start a new thread at some point to guage interest....

well in the mean time i ordered the replacement spongy bits for my HKS from whifbitz & they turned up today, good service, & fitted in a flash ( & me a technical retard lol) & by heck it looks a hell of a lot better even if there are potentially better filters on the market. Will try & take some pikkies of the old vs new filter colours when i get my hands on the camera again but well quite a contrast lol

In that little link about filters it says that the Apexi job is a bit good.  Almost coninved me away from the blitz I was thinking of.  Only thing is it says that it is lifetime use and no maintenance.  Does anyone know if this is true.  I had one on my MR2.  It was bloody good but I was of the opinion it would only last for about a year.  Couldn\'t tell for sure as instructions were all in Japanese.

HI,
It is a known fact that our engines do not like heat and heat build up. Although more time consuming than just replacing the element, Have you considered relocating the filter away from the turbo and waterpump and sheilding it against the heat. This would be more effective, and your engine could run cooler and safer.
All the best,
