After trawling the CVR4 forum for write-ups, I've decided to go for the Ralliart panel filter for a number of reasons, but despite searching, I can't find where to buy one from! /Hissy

I read a lot about the Ralliart and the K&N, but not too much on the HKS - how do they compare? I'm wary of having to oil a filter like the K&N, as in the past I've simply been too lazy to bother!

I have a K&N filter going begging now -£20 delivered and it's yours? It's done about 20,000 miles and been oiled reasonably recently! What's left of the cleaner and oil included (about half full - or half empty if you're a pessimist!).

Whilst I have cleaned and oiled the K&N previously (possibly didn't need it!), I can't be bothered doing it!

And the HKS is another toy to play with. Kind of. If you know what I mean...

I bought mine for £57 from RHD some time ago - obviously when the £/yen rate was way better than it is now.

Reading that link suggests that it's a mildly uprated filter that will still need replacing - is that right?

OK, we'll have a go at that for a score :) How do I pay you?
