One used Apexi Power Intake pod filter in good condition. This was removed from my R33 GTS-T, but will fit just about any vehicle using the right adaptor. It comes with a 3"/76mm adaptor and bolts, which will suit a lot of turbo Jap cars. Awesome induction sound; it made my turbo very audible and the factory BOV sound like an ATMO. The filter is red in colour (hard to see in photo) and is cleanable/washable. I used to just give it a once over with compressed air whenever I did an oil change and it would come up like new.

I swapped this out for an airbox because I installed a front mount intercooler. Living in a notoriously defectable area of Melbourne, I am a law abiding citizen who wholeheartedly respects the EPAs completely logical decision to allow only one intake modification. The Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research recently named pod filters in Melbourne-based Japanese vehicles the #2 cause of carbon emissions pollution, second only to politician's mouths and the paperwork of bureaucratic government organisations.

In selling this pod filter, I have had to consider the ramifications and my moral obligation to society, not unlike the ethical dilemmas that one might face when they become embroiled in drug dealing - I'm not proud of it, but hey, I gotsta get paid.

I might add that it's great to see our tax dollars at work, funding police to enforce these well-thought EPA laws and take young kids with a hobby off the road; making our streets safer for the violent gangs and drunk drivers who have been victimised for far too long. Even better that these criminals have to pay for their own vehicles to be tested - guilty until proven innocent, I say! Perhaps we should adopt this attitude for murder suspects too, who currently enjoy more rights (but rightly so!) within our Australian legal system.

With the hard work of health food ingesting police and their safe driving manouvres during the random vehicle inspection process, these Japcar driving juvenile delinquents will just have to find something much less harmful to spend their hard earned money on, like heroin. With their clean and mechanically sound pride and joys off the road, Average Joe's leaky rust bucket need no longer fear the dangers of sharing roads with well kept and insured vehicles.

You probably shouldn't buy this filter if you have young children and an aftermarket intercooler. The combination can be lethal, not unlike the simultaneous consumption of alcohol and drugs. Fact is, pod filters in conjunction with aftermarket (but not standard) intercoolers are the number one cause of death to children under 5, closely followed by SIDS and too many handbrake clicks. Government legislation has been proposed for the packaging of pod filters, making it mandatory that every filter come with a health warning and grotesque pictures of modified Hyundai Excels on the box, making consumers all too aware of the health risks. If you are comfortable burdening your conscience with the above, then proceed with purchase and may God have mercy on your soul.

    • If your current chain of thought is, I'll go somewhere like pick and payless (or equivalent) and causally remove the bit of roof with your BYO grinder then casually weld that into your car... oof. It might sound easy but you will 100% end up with a warped roof. You say you'd prefer some ugly fab work, but I don't know if your prepared for how ugly this will be lol.  I've seen professional welders do similar but easier repairs and still end up with warped panels.  It is reasonable to assume that from your current skill level, you won't be able to do this cut and paste job while keeping flat panels.  Ok, but we are here to learn. This might be the go... jump on car sales, sort by price, buy the cheapest thing with rego and drive it home. This is your new practice vehicle. If you're thinking of doing the cut and paste job, try it on this car. Cut out the panel (hey it's a perfect fit) weld in the panel. See what you think of the results.  Next thing you could try, practice removing the entire roof in one piece by drilling out all the spot welds etc. Have a crack and welding the roof back on.   
    • I've never welded but I own a welder and I've always wanted to learn. In fact I had already looked at a 1 day welding course in Sydney.  I'd prefer some ugly metal fab than anything weak.  I'm challenging myself a lot with this car. For so many years I've just paid other people to do things and I've always been keen to learn and get better.
    • Ok, thats a good starting point.  So before we start.... do you mind if the car say isn't a strong as it was before? My first thought is go excavating for rust. You'll be left with a gaping hole, that will be filled with fiberglass. You could make it look factory pretty easily but yeah, if you never crash it will never be an issue right? Before we look at other options, how confident are you welding? 
    • Oh this is my 1998 E39 5 series. It's worth more to me than financial value. It's a project car for me to love and work on without fear of f**king up something that has lots of value or that I need to keep running.
    • I'm super realistic here. I love the car and want to keep it but I know it's days of perfect condition are well and truly over. I just want a fix that won't come back.
