All the conspiracy theories you read on the internet surrouding K&N filter's ill reputation for fouling MAF sensors are unjustified IMHO. I've had K&N in prev cars, never had MAF issues with any. If you clean it and oil it correctly - following the instructions, you won't have filter oil in your intake/MAF.

Based on empirical evidence, HKS filters are the ones that tend to destroy MAFs in Lancers:

Maybe he's buying the whole set Akram - an Evo, an RA, a VRX, an LX and an ES... that would need five!

You forgot the Aspire. As to the K & N, Chi has a point like anything if its not properly maintained things could go wrong, it would be the same if you didnt remove an old and dirty air-filter, or didnt seal the air-box properly.

Didn't include the Aspire (or Sports, or VR, or SX etc.) 'cos they're not current and it would have buggered the 'five' thing...

Yeah, Chi makes sense...

basically a company like mitsubishi can get an ES, chuck a leather steering wheel on a map light, and silver air vents, and hey presto a new model :P

If we're putting in a request to Mitzi - I want an RA, but with the VRX donk (blown of course) and 20" wheels... but with the SST gearbox.


And a dashmat!

So basically you want a RA with a broken motor so you can fit the 2.4 in its place on low boost?

depends how deep your pockets are, without forged internals motor wont last. Alternatively might be able to match up a RA head onto the 2.4 bottom end.
