Angry fuel filter failure

Check this out.

i think that this is a major issue and that everybody should cheack their own filter once they have replaced them.

This was a replacement from Easy Lube about 10 000 miles back.

currently i have a other in place from them and this makes me want to get a mazda OEM Filter and get it installed.

RX7club.com doesn't host the pictures on the same server as the actual forum, its hosted on this server place where they just host pictures, alot of forums use it actually. And that's why its so bitch'n slow... I think we should host it on our servers, but that's my 2cents

Oh yeah? spec a stock S5 T2 turbocharger from them. $2500! You can get a full T04 kit for that kind of money and have some left for an engine computer.

Everyone should just stop being cheap! Then all of our problems and worries would be fixed.

So you're basically admitting the Mazda filter is six times better than a generic no name brand filter (based on Mazda's 60,000 mile replacement interval)? These cheap filters of yours don't seem like good value for money...
