Where to get a Vararam replacement air filter ?
Since my FRC came with a Vararam already on it.... Where can I get a replacement air filter ?

It's a K&N filter and looks like its about 10 years old. From the last time I cleaned it to now ( about 6 months ago) the lip on the filter is completely gone and the remaining rubber is crumbling and falling apart.
So with that said, its time for a new one.

This may be a stupid question but will this filter still work ?
And do you carry the recharge oil for this green filter ?

The Vararam green filter will fit into the first version of the C5 Vararam just fine. I bought the filter and upper housing kit they recommended and never used the upper housing because it didn't fit on the car right. It was wider and deeper and just didn't fit between the rad duct and the front frame cross worth a crap.
I highly recommend you come up with some way to ensure it has a good seal to the upper housing since any of the Vararam attempts at doing that just plain suck.
If you old filter had some kind of thinner lip around the outside or it was a K&N filter then it's likely the K&N filter for a Triumph - maybe TR7 or something like that.
