Overmonth parts from Japan. I'm going to toss this in today. Stock filter does not like the idea of flowing much air.

How much did your air filter cost?

I was originally going to order a filter but a few things stopped me. Currently the Canadian dealers are asking 115 dollars for a TRD reusable filter (which is HILARIOUS) and the HKS one I wanted was ~65 bucks (after shipping and duties to Canada). These two setbacks, and the fact no local k&n supplier could source me a filter for my FRS lead me to buy a proper intake from Airaid for what seems to be about ~260

So 65 of that is filter cost (in my mind) 195 dollars for a proper intake PLUS there is a $50 MIR on the product as well.

btw, your car is sexy and Raven is a great colour

I run the import side of Performance Plus here in Saskatoon. If you ever need anything, I'm more than available to help out Regina guys. I might meet you in Sept if you're at the DODOlogic Fallout meet. Shoot me a pm.

How did I miss your Sask plates this whole time! Embarrassing. Thanks! Hopefully my car arrives before then!

Well I am at 8000km on the odo now. The car has been really good to me so far. Future plans include new coilovers, wheels and the T1R 70R cat-back.

But .. it's winter-time and I'm currently getting the car into winter-mode. I'll post up some photos once that is completed. New tires, fluids, a block heater and a starter.

For a starter I have a brand new Compustar 2W-940-SS system coming in.
