CJ Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I do like a bargain but surely these are too good to be true? Check out the shop. All fakes you reckon? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/APEXI-Universal-Power-Intake-Air-Filter-FREE-3-Adapter-/220840151748?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item336b194ac4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 It looks a little funny and it's definitely cheap. The MR2 kits with the heat shield are generally around £115 iirc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dim Sum Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 It is something you have to risk when from ebay, read his feedback and see if anyone purchased this item before and see what they have to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 The rest of the gear in the shop area is also way too cheap....best I stop looking I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DamanC Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I didnt think the "heads" were much more than that anyway? The Expense comes when adding a hard pipe. Certainly 'looks' real, same with the HKS one in the shop. The BOV, oil caps and turbo timers are faaaaar too cheap though! Feedbacdk is good until I read this; Not apexi genuine filter, money refunded, thanks!

Scott Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 If it is a universal fit and will go on an MR2 then I would be interested. Is the universal fit ok CJ? IIRC I needed an adapter to fit on the MR2s MAF. The proper one also comes with a heat shield which does actually make a bit of a difference with the location of the filter (As well as keeping the rain off it).

Maybe the old adage of pay cheap get cheap applies here. I think I will wait on an source a bargain genuine one. As it happens, I have done OK looking for second hand parts so far and so maybe that is the route to go down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dim Sum Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 not sure if mine fits a MR2, because it came out of a Supra. But i take a few pictures anyway, if not it stays in that box till i use it someday lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
