Guest bryan0connor Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Hello to all ! I'm a new Owner of a Supra Non-Turbo aerotop. The previous owner had a sports Air filter fitted. Now the filter itself has got holes in it. I need to change it! I can't find it in normal stores as it is not an original air box. I would like to know if somebody could tell me where to buy either a normal airbox + air filter OR another Complete Sports Air filter OR if it is possible to find, just the air filter to replace mine in this Sportsair filter. Hope it makes sense... :-/ Second question is the noise made by my brakes. Everytime i take the car for a drive, for the first two minutes it's fine but then (I suppose when the brakes get warm) it makes a strong noise everytime i hit the break. If I press it quite hard, it doesn't make it, but in a City center, when you have to break little by little, the noise is always there and quite loud & annoying. Is it definitely the brake pads to change or could it be some dust that is rubbing against the brakes because it gets hot? Thank you very much for your help. Have a good day!

Fish Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 There are a number of filters around mate. Stick up a photo for what you have. Easiest job regards the brakes is to jack the car up, off the wheel and take a look - its only a few minutes and takes the guess work away.

Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 you probably have aftermarket pads and this is the way they behave my new GTR is the same.... as for the box i would go for stock airbox and new sports filter element Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bryan0connor Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Thank you very much for your (very) quick answers! You're great! i wasn't expecting an answer so quickly! I will take a picture and post it in the evening! Do you think it will cost more than £100 ? and where could I find some? For the pads, I will do that today, i think i will have time. i'll take a picture as well and post it here. thank you very much again.

Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 the way you describe your pads noises it points to aftermarket pads, and the only solution is to replace with stock pads to eliminate the noise. as for air filter the element can cost from 25 to 40 pounds and the box will depend on breakers at a guess £40- £80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 you probably have aftermarket pads and this is the way they behave my new GTR is the same.... Oh you have a new GTR do you? I predict more posts from Jurgen, "yeah I have those same tyres on my new GTR", "very nice, same colour as my new GTR", etc. etc. Stop showing off.

Guest bryan0connor Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 it's quite big actually... And as you can see, not in a very good state! Could that be the main reason why the petrol consommation has gone up a lot ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snake Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 That filter looks like mine [greddy] i think. if you take it apart inside is like a sponge, and not a paper filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bryan0connor Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 what kind of special things are you hoping to do with your filter element? Well "Snake" told me inside it looks like a sponge, maybe i have to change that or i don't know. I would rather get a new one, but i don't know if i have to buy the same size etc...

Guest bryan0connor Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Right, I missed the bid for the air filter, can't connect to Ebay at work... I don't mind going for a sports one, now i don't know which one to get. i don't want any cheap one, but not over £100 as i'm not looking for performances either. Anyone could guide me towards a good one as there are plenty of them on ebay...? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GavR Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Can i jump on the band wagon here? I can hear a ringing sound coming from my rear wheels when i drive between 20-40mph, any faster and it seems to go. Can anyone tell me what it may be, and how i can get rid of it?? Other than driving above 40 all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
