BleedingFreek... it's the first time I'm hearing the Sakura not holding out. I've been using the Sakura fuel filter for a number of years and never had any problems. What kind of fuel filter are you using now?

Equipp2Ripp... are you using the Sakuras or the original?

Val... what's the story with your Ranger? Those boys carrying on here and have me wondering.

I have a service coming up next month and I'm considering either going with the original washable Toyota air filter or putting out just over $100 more and buying a K&N. What do you guys think?

sweeks, i use sakura oil and fuel filters... the guys at neal and massy told me i could use it instead of buying the original. my air filter is a K&N.

WRT the K&N, yeah go ahead and try it.

you see, the mitsu will be the liming "family vehicle", the most i intend to carry in the tray is some beach chairs and groceries. the auto sunroof and the dash sold me, it does feel a bit underpowered until the turbo kicks in at about 1500rpm. i took it today for another test drive and i went around the savannah and up thelady young to the lookout, the van feels solid and the cabin is in my opinion the best in its class,

wagon r · Posted: Tue Jan 30, 2007 4:06 pm Post subject:

^ thought the same. i love the dash and if that's all it's going to be used for then by all means go ahead... Mr. Green

....oh...call me for the test drive when you take it home. Exclamation
