Finally treated my SJ to a new air filter, as the old one was starting to look a bit dirty. Got a second hand K&N off ebay, and as i'm sure we are all aware a K&N is a guaranteed extra 20bhp .

Got one of those in mine, I like it seems a little more responsive but only a little . Also supposedly never needs to be replaced.

I'v noticed a small differance, but i think that is becuse my old filter was covered in mud .

[turbo-tom]

let me know how many miles per gallon you get with this filter! it might not change but my old man put one in his p38 and it was going about 15mpg rather then about 19mpg it might not effect it but it did in the rangie

Another boy racer mod. Lol.

Is it washable?

I'v no idea how many mpg's i was getting before . My speedo is so far out its impossible to work it out. I hope it doesn't get worse, i allready spend a outrageos amount on fuel.

You can wash it, but you then need to put some special pink K&N oil on it after...or whatever oil you've got lying around in the garage.

Once a boy racer, allways a boy racer .

It's like James May said. Its easier and more fun to drive a small low powered car to its limit than a ferrari.

I don't spend a huge amount on fuel but my MPG is appalling. Very low 20s.

Once i get the rock lobster and 1600 in i'll work it out again.

Who would of thought changing the gearstick would be such a pain in the arse

Picked up a gear stick off Scottie yesterday as mine had no gator on it. So thought i would change the gearbox oil at the same time. So emptyed out the old watery crap and a couple of the gear teeth came out with it . I had a spare gear box in the shed so i thought i would change it. So after wrestling with the old box for a hour finally got the bastard out. Then it turns out the bearing in the fly wheel is completely destroyed (I didn't even know there was a bearing in the fly wheel)

So once again the SJ is in a hundred pieces on the drive untill i can get hold of the parts.

[Jordi]

You are kidding me?

Hope you can get it sorted for Wiltshire.

And that bearing is the pilot bearing, holds / supports the gearbox input shaft.

[turbo-tom]

Not good!, im sure you will get it sorted intime!
