Right on. Like the post says, what kind of fuel filter do you use. The Purolator was recommended to me earlier. I think i'm gonn change mine this weekend. Just wanted to know what to search for.

Right on.

Should I switch to the glass kind? Or a Purolator part number that cross references the Fram G12?

Is there that big of a difference in fuel filters? Generic ones are cheap enough that you could stick a new one on every oil change if you were so inclined...

riffraff

i just run the generic one from autozone. i donot think that there is that much of a difference between types.
the only really advantage, that i can see, from a clear one would be that you can see how dirty it is.

Well, for all filters I use Mazda OEM. But, I had read the MFG location....Puraltor.

riffraff

but those are expensive...
you can probably buy five for that price

Just for you and peejay...the K&N $55 billet fuel pump!! Enjoy!!




..but it's also the last one I will ever buy and no paper involved in the filtering...

riffraff

why do you say that that is the last one that you will buy? is it like the k/n airfilters, cleanable and reuable?

brownmound

that K&N filter looks pretty good, like a little keg or something.

right on.

Exactly...it even fit the factory stock retaining clips like it was meant to be there...

Pump??? This is about filters. Did you mean to say filter or is that really a pump?

My retaning clips hold the filter vertically... Is that photo sideways?

Looks good though. I wouldnt want the fuel hose hanging down if that photo IS sideways. Catch it on something while drifting or rallying and dump your fuel ALL over.. BOOM!

I didn't get to the administrator fast enough! Yes, I meant filter...that's the way it sits now, sideways. It's behind the fuel pump skid plate just like the factory filter, so no worries, mate!

I just realized. Series 1 cars had a different filter than Series 2 and 3 cars.

riffraff

did they? if i remember correctly, mine is mounted the same way in both my 79 and the 80 that i used to have

Jeff20B

79 and 80 are series 1.

Pele

Shame on you for not knowing that.

1979 - 1980 : Series 1
1981 - 1983 : Series 2
1984 - 1985 : Series 3
1986 - 1988 : Series 4
1989 - 1991 : Series 5
1993 : Series 6
1994 - Present (1995 for US) : Series 7

I use the factory fuel filter. Its only like 3.50...

riffraff

my bad

So, too, does the Forum Photo Gallery that has my car shown as an '85. It's an '80 with the front clip of an '82 stuck up front. I like the later front end but not the flat back end, so now I've got just the right mutant to enjoy...

riffraff

very cool. it is all about having a my rx7 to get what you want.

i have a 79 body with an 80 interior, 80 tranny and drive sharf, 78 rx4 engine...

when i used to have an 80, i had an 81 rear end..

the differences sometimes make it interesting in remembering what year of aftermarket parts to get, but ohwell....
