Flying Miata oil filter relocation kit

[7/18/2003] Reviewed by: Frank Guagenti - mozart@computer.net

Applicable to: '90 - '97 '99 + 1.8 liter

Relocates your oil filter to behind the window washer fluid on the fire wall.

The idea is a sound one. Relocate the filter to the firewall where it is easly accessable. I had this one put on by my mechanic. It went on easly enough but when he started up the car it spurted oil all over the place. After talking to the Flying Miata people it seems the piece doesnt fit all 2002 Miatas. On some engines the spindel is too long and it bottoms out on the end that screws into the old filter. This will not allow the peice to screw down tightly. They said they will send a new part that fits.

Flying Miata knew of the problem with this kit. They really should have made me aware of the problem when I ordered the unit. Now I have to pay an additional installation charge.

Under 30 minutes to remove completely
