Yeah the Genuine Toyota one for the surf is $95 ! Rediculous. That's why I use a uni filter....
I had heaps of trouble finding the right air filters for the Surf, there were three or four different air box's used in the buggers between 91' to 95'. I found persistance to be the answer. The trick is to have the genuine holden part number and then cruise all the different auto parts shops until you can find somebody who is actually interested in looking it up for you. The non-genuine paper filter for
mine I ended up finding at Veal Autoparts. It was some obscure brand that I'd never heard of before, so I stuck the sticker from the box onto the air box so I'd be able to find them again next time. But the uni filter is a lot less hassle IMHO, you just poor turps over it to clean it, let it dry, whack it in a plastic shopping bag with a tea spoon or two of the filter fix oil rub it in and whack it back in again, just in time for beer o'clock! ;-)
