seems exspensive i know but well worth getting the toyota one and the EMS braided line from filter to injectors i get much more stable fuel pressure now. and you should have seen the state of the filter

it's easy to do if you have the tools, you need a few big extensions to break the top banjo bolt.

you can see the top of the filter if you look down in between the air intake box and the chassis. You have to take the air intake box and the left wheel out to do the job

I just ordered mine from rogue, hopefully this one will work ok :|

On a rev3+ NA it's every 3 years. Probably similar for the tubby?

for the price of the item its worth doing. Its an easy job and if you have just bought a MR2 and you do not know when it was last done then then do it :thumleft:

yeah I got everything with my one. My old fuel filter is proper rough, i don't think the previous owner had this changed.

If you are going to do the job just make sure you release all the pressure, unless you want v-power all over your face :eye:
