yep, thats where i saw them. I have had one before (on my last car) and it seemed OK, but as i have just bought a spanking new MY04 i'm a little bit more cautious. To be honest, it didn't seem oily at all, very dry infact. I have been on www.syms.jp, but i can't find them, but they seem a fairly professinal outfit, but you can't go by websites alone

Perhaps its like the STI panel filters, if it is i'd be tempted i must admit, i just don't want to have to replace yet another MAF!
