Hey People,

I've just put a 3A pod filter on my 92 GTS - T.

I bought it from Dr Drift in Brooklyn Victoria.

Just wanted to let any one know who is thinking of getting one, that they sound fantastic.

The sound and character of my car is totally different.

When the turbo spools it sounds like the pod is going to suck the asphalt off the road. and when you back off you can really hear the stock BOV blow back through the intake pipe, whereas before the whole driving experience was pretty much silent.

The boost seems to come on earlier as well.

I'm really happy with the result of a $35 modification (including the adapter).

Now i'm going to make up a heat shield to house the pod.

Anyway, Onward and Sideways...

Pods will make that sucking noise which sounds sweet and the nice "choo" sound.

There is a thread about which pods gave the best results and 3A came out on top as apposed to APexi, Blitz, HKS, Trust ect.

About the boost kicking in earlier, maybe cause you can hear the pod sucking and at the same time you got a larger intake then just the snorkle / panel filter...

Actually the 3A filter which make noticeable gains in power, combined with a good quality partition to prevent higher intake temps, it's an excellent value for money mod...

If only EPA would be friendly to this AND a cooler :wacko:

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
