Has anyone used Tom Thompson's oil filter relocating kit (

Thanks, John ('94 Miata)


Well, Tom Thompson wrote to me and told me that his kit will not fit the M1s, too bad, I liked the looks of the kit he makes the best. Nice to deal with a real person too, and the designer to boot.

As far as the others go, I think I found the answer; I should take more advantage of the product reviews on miata.net. From the reviews I read, I'm leaning towards the Moss filter relocator kit.

Eather one is good. I did not buy the Moss, just because I didn't like the "blue" lines. (but I ended up covering them up with black plastic loom, because they got so hot) Anything is better than the stock location ! Go for it ! You will like it.
