My filter was over oiled as well. Noticed a good amount of red liquid on the bottom of the stock air box but none of it got sucked up into the air tube. I still have the stock filter so I may revert back to that since you put the thought of k&n filters being trash into my head lol.

I learned the hard way also many years ago with the spray lube filters. Over time the oil atomizes then coats MAF sensors and throttle bodies. Since then I only run OEM filters, its just not worth the 2-3Hp gain.

This is pretty much where I'm at.

The paper filter may be somewhat restrictive but you are definitely allowing more particulate into the engine that may or may not cause premature wear.

I think a downpipe & E30 tune will suit my needs and if I want more noise I'd do an intake. But we will see.

What drop in filter brand do you guys recommend? I'm coming from the motorcycle world so idk what's good as far as cars go. I figured since K&N was a well known brand that they were a good choice lol

I ran a HKS Super Air Filter on mine when i was still using my stock air box. I had no issues but then again i only ran for about 500-1000 miles?

I've had a K&N in my last six cars, and the put one in my Supra that I just collected last Saturday. Great panel filters IMO.

ive heard theyre "washable" right? never really ran filters for OEM airboxes, i always went with an after market intake. but ive never heard anything bad about K&N.

Going to try to figure out hw to install the Acexxon rear reflector inserts. Cant find instructions anywhere so Ill document if i can and post here later. https://ind-distribution.com/collec...s/acexxon-a90-supra-rear-reflector-insert-set
It was pretty easy, I just removed a handful of bolts from the bottom of the rear diffuser and then flexed it back. You can then see the back side of the reflectors and the clips that hold them in. You can use a long screwdriver to unclip one side, then grab it from outside the car and pull it out gently. One of mine came out cleanly, the other bent one of the clips on the reflector backwards a bit, but I was 1) able to bend it back into place, and 2) removing the reflectors anyway so I didn’t really care. Once the old ones are out. The new ones just snap into place.
