starlybruiser Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I recently bought a Hks mushroom filter off ebay for a couple of quid the other day and i recieved it yesterday in the post, the seller stated it was used but has had a new foam filter fitted. when i got it it seemed pretty good condition and the foam was obviously new as it was a nice clean bright yellow. but i have noticed the foam doesnt quite fit, because theres a small gap under the foam and non filtered air could get in through this gap, i was wondering if theres any lip or something missing from the kit?? or is the foam the wrong one? any surgestions? also is the filter surposed to be oiled? cheers guys, starlybruiser "> ">">"> Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ecksjay Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 thats not the HKS foam mate from the looks of it. probably why it was a few quid Quote Link to post Share on other sites

starlybruiser Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 thats not right, he most probs replaced it with some cack foam from halfrauds!Any Ideas Where i can get some HKS foam from?? and Any Ideas On Prices?? cheers Starlybruiser Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 dont think they are that expensive....try one of the main HKS dealers or burwash or toby may be able to get them...HKS filters arent very good in the first place, so you would be better getting a Power enterprise or Apexi one..sorry Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ecksjay Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 yep, dont use the HKS filters, cheap copies like the shit in there is probably worse!you can get an apexi cone filter for £25 max, and they're the best you can buy for the money to be honest. dont fuck about with the HKS ones, they're shite.

Sparky Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I believe the foam is green on the HKS ones aswell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 not all of them....the racing suction kit has a yellow one... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob_bower Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 it could be a proper hks filter replacement as they do come in two different sizes 150mm and 200mm so it may just have had the wrong one put in!! im not sure of the cheapest place to buy them from but they are available form envyperformance for about £20 as for colours they come in grey green red and yellow!! I hope that helps!!Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
