I bought a Mazda Eunos 30X (as its known here) a few months ago. Wanted one after seeing them zip around town years ago in my Charade and wondering what they were.
The one I got is a V6 1.8L red one which I picked up suprprisingly cheaply after considering a used pulsar SSS. Although the SSS felt quicker it idled rougher and wasn't up to the 30X quality standards. The previous owner of the 30X obviously took better care of it too. I think Eunos 30X owners not only drive their cars, they love them too.
Anyway like most people here, I wanted it to personalise it with a muffler and a pod filter. I had an X-Force sports exhaust fitted and the car feels and sounds a heap better.
Then I went to replace the stock air filter and thats why I'm here. I went to two muffler workshops and one tuning shop to have one fitted in. They all said they couldn't do it because the airbox was of a "Euro" design, not japanse. What the heck does that mean?
They didn't even want to try to put a Pod filter, because they were not familiar with the Air flow metre and the three or four other tubes coming into the stock airbox. Two tubes look like its from the stock cold air intake, and another two or so thin tubes.
The tuning shop said that they can't put a pod filter because they didn't have the right brackets. He said he could use cable ties but thats kind of crappy and would fall off eventually, so I declined.
I didnt think it would be this difficult for such a simple mod, can someone explain how the Eunos 30X airbox works, including the sensors and what all those tubes that come out of the airbox do?
Thanks and much appreciated
