How to replace fuel filter
I need to replace the fuel filter on my FD3s, how do you access it?
I lifted the car and the fuel filter appears to be on top of the diff.
There's no way I can even get my hands up there...

some of the pictures are missing but you'll get the idea.
Basically
1. relieve fuel line pressure
2. remove the old filter with the mounting bracket.
3. put new filter on bracket.
4. remount
yea its a bit of a pain but its doable.....

i was just wondering if i could replace the stock filter with that of another car, im sure it will require some fabbing. the thing is i there are no FD filters available here and i doubt any company delivers to pakistan, let alone charge a credit card registered here.

Perhaps, maybe it would be smart to obtain a fuel filter from a car with a larger engine?
However, IIRC the fuel filter for miatas is about the same size as the FD's filter. And the miata sips gas compared the FD. It has been a while since I replaced the miata filter, so I could be mistaken.

This has been discussed before, and I believe the person that started the discussion was using a Porsche filter. I don't know for sure, but I believe there are flow requirements. Either way, the rotary is already sensitive to lean conditions, so I would be very careful about which filter I used as a replacement.
