I managed to find time to make some small and subtle changes to the MR2.
A new fuel filter was fitted.....this was actually quite easy, involving jacking the car up on all 4 corners so that I could crawl about beneath the rear passenger wheel. This meant that I could then drain the filter by disconnecting it underneath and then removing the banjo bolt on top. Access to the filter involves a mixture of going in from the top of the engine bay, by removing the air filter box lower section completely.
As well as crawling under the car to remove the filter and then fit the new one. The filter came with all copper washers and fitted perfectly to the securing band on the chassis.
I even used an alloy hose to join the turbine intake hose to a spare Subaru intake pipe to allow me to extend the air intake filter down closer to the side air intake in the body work. Bargain, but effective budget mod!!
Above, you can see the fuel filter, looking down through where the intake box used to be fitted. You need a long socket to remove and loosen the bolt. Beware there is no fuel pressure in the system! I left the car sitting over night and did not turn it on before starting the work, so there was minimal fuel drained out once I removed the filter.
Take all appropriate fire and health and safety precautions!!! FUEL IS DANGEROUS!!
I also managed to change the oil and filter, which on a Revision 3 engine is simple! Access from under the rear drivers wheel and drain/remove filter and fit new.
