And nope took them out to clean them get the flow tested etc when I had the intake manifold off porting and polishing it.

Putting them back in thought I'd get away with not replacing them
I didn't.. Ahahaha

Yeah they looked fine
But apparently once they hit the air they become real brittle due to being soaked In petrol they practically get wind burn as there all dried out. From the petrol.
So I guess they split going back in, Owell I bought 8 of them for next time or spares

Oh
Ahah sorry dude
Yeah sure if you want it
Ill double check to make sure it's not cracked or anything but from my last look at it, it wasn't I only got a new one
Because it was genuine
And because it was already fitted to the surround instead of it looking crappy
But I'd be happy with 30$ plus postage so lets say 40 to your door?

Yeah man,
The black bit it's the thingo that's thicker on oneside gear boot goes over it and then it clips into the centre console :)

FWIW I changed my fuel filter recently and took out what looked like the original Denso one from 1989 and it didn't make any noticeable difference to the running of the engine (possibly 2% smoother on the bum dyno)...so don't get your hopes up that's all :P

Doubt it would be original
Unless you owned it from 1989
Would say it was serviced by toyota
Also a lot of people still come in buying genuine stuff
A guy came in the other day looking for a 1997 Celica oil filter and fuel filter :)
Made a difference for me.
Just something that won't hurt replacing

^well i even cut the old one open with a hacksaw and it didn't appear to be too dirty inside though. Not saying it wont make a difference but it didn't really on mine and so i'd be looking at other things like fuel pres reg etc also 
trying to diagnose something like this through a forum is near impossible without knowing the car imo

Replaced the fuel filter today. I could blow thru it, but needed a lot more effort then the new one.
