yeah it's oiled up cotton :P . Oil treated filters is generally argued not good for MAF sensors.

what oil is in the recharge kit thing? why do they need oil? to catch dirt?

just something ive always wondered.

yeah mate, that reason :rolleyes:

well thats what i thought, but then that means the cotton filter doesnt do much if it needs oil to catch the dirt?

and recharging it would mean putting more oil on it, over top of the dirt and oil that is already there. how is that a good thing?

no offense to KISIN, but if you're gonna use a K&N pod, you may as well throw handfulls of dirt into your afm.

the Apexi is the way to go according to tests, and the 3A is alot cheaper and still right up there. i'd be choosing between those two.

yeah... cause experts at K&N have no f**ken idea right monkeyboy? :rolleyes:
i wouldnt stick a piece of oiled up foam in my intake. you can if you want
Um Sorry to inform you MUNKYBOY

but K&N isnt oiled up foam.......

You have beeen wrong in the last couple of post u had put up m8

theres alot of controversy surrounding those tests though.

Look at how many test have been performed lately, and EVERY single one comes up with COMPLETELY different results. I remember looking up a topic about this in the Forced Induction forum and comparing it to the Autosalon mag. one...worlds apart. From memeory, they said that the Apexi is the shitest by far :dry: Look it up in AS if you dont believe me.

As for the oil...you dont drown the damn thing in it...besides how hard is it to clean a AFM once in a while ? two sparys and ur done.

thus the reason i said there is alot of controversy, for want of a better word, sourrounding them.

which throws my recommendations of a 3a filter out the window.

Nah, i agree with you, was just pointing it out even more to Monkey.

Hmm the 3A might actually be a decent filter though...

I already pointed out that i was mistaken, coz i was thinking of the HKS mushroom oiled foam pods when i read K&N.

Geeeeeeeeeeeez you forgot to quote that one didnt you!?!?

But i still wouldnt use an oiled filter. Personal preference really.

I use an Apexi pod. I like it. No maintenance. No oil. Ive heard very good things about the 3A's too.

I'm sure there are thousands using each type of pod, so they must all work relatively well.

Magazine tests aren't worth shit, vested interest just being the half of it, the one I linked was an International Standards Organisation test done by and approved and accredited agency.

But at the end of the day people will do what they do, and believe what they want, placebo therapy is plenty evidence for that.

I wasnt aware that the HKS mushrooms need to be oiled ??

      Biggest thing is you're okay!   It sounds like between the accident, and the drive home, it was a pretty torturous trip again! On the bright side, you took the opportunity to enjoy the event more from the perspective of a spectator, than as an entrant!   Sad to see so much damage to the car. It really has taken a HUGE hit in the front end. If/when you choose to repair, hopefully the rails are straight (At least from shock tower backwards). Hopefully the extra cage coming through there has save most of the chassis rails, and HOPEFULLY saved the motor too. Best of luck when you eventually get motivated to start pulling it down to check it all out

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?

      By PranK · Posted

      The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.

      What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!

      Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !
