    Cheapest place for parts?

    Need an air filter (though might get a used apexi pod setup - any performance improvement?). For wof all I have left to buy is a right front bottom arm and right rack boot.

    Any recommendations for the cheapest part prices for this sort of stuff?

    Don't get a pod as they have nothing but a negative effect on performance in these cars (proven). As for parts, I'd say get in touch with ralliart in Penrose as they are good guys and cheaper than the mitsi dealer.

    If the K&N is one of those oil every x thousands of km jobs and you purchase one, be sure not to over-oil or the surplus oil could end up sticking to your MAF and cause it to misread. You would probably have to bath it in oil to get it that bad but you get the idea.

    OEM replacements are KYB shock absorbers but there are also Monroe Reflex which suit too. Those are two that I know of.
