Do you need tools to fit a panel filter (1995 WRX)

Is it easy

Why didn't Steve McQueen make it over the fence

 

Would have thought u would only need to flip the clips on the airbox, easy peasy..

 

What if you don't know what the facking airbox looks like

Izzit that thing that collects wasps

 

lol... all you need is a small brain and a screw driver. 10mm socket is a easier though...

 

OK so what's the best one to buy? I wanna purchase it this afternoon yah

Looked at STI ones, JR ones and also heard lots abat the elusive "green cotton" ones. Where te fack can you buy the latter?

 

1) 12mm socket and extention bars
2) cordless drill

take 2 12mm bolts off at bottom of airbox....before you undo the 2nd bolt closer to the window screen take off the maf hose...you will then be able to get to the second 12mm bolt, lift the airbox out by pulling it away from the wing as the cold air feed is attached...now undo the screws with the cordless and replace with new filter and out back together...5 min max.

Dont forget to unclip your maf connector m8

 

Seems complicated

Pics?

 

honnest m8 its a **** easy job, open bonnet and look at the airbox (big plastic thing)....you will see a connection on the maf sensor...take this off and then undo the 12mm bolts underneath the box its self....you will see the first 12mm towards the front of the car...the second one is hidden underneath the hose which is connected to the maf....take this hose off and then you will see the second 12mm bolt.....undo this and the box will pull off, replace filter and put back together.

 

May also need a stanley knife some filters have tabs on them that need cutting off to fit your box, mine did!

 

very easy.. and bob.. its 10 IIRC..

Do a search for filters!

 

Cheers boys

 

Well mines 12mm but im sure he has a selection of sockets.

 

Can't help you with an airbox on a 95 wrx, but......

Steve McQueen didn't make it over the fence because his velocity and launch angle calculations were all wrong. I believe he also seriously underestimated the kerb weight of his 1961 Triumph TR6 Trophy.

Rich.

 

Every time I watch that film - one of my absolute faves - I sooooooo want it to be different

Re the 10 and 12mm stuff... I poss have these tools

 

Me too.......me too.

 

 

he would have had a far better chance of escape if he had hung on a little longer for a german with a hayabusa or maybe gsxr-1000.this would have given him a lot better chance of clearing the said obstacle but he may have been edging his bets waiting for another 40 or so years for these bikes to become available.
on saying that he would not have needed to make the jump then because the war would have been won and he could have merrily skipped across the border ,whilst whistling his favourite girls aloud track.

 

 

apparently he made it over on the first shoot so they made him eat 10 mac dees burgers and and put more fuel in his tank.
