That point cannot be overemphasized.  I just helped a friend with his recent
TR4 purchase.  Nice looking car, but it was barely running when he got it and
was missing and belching black smoke frequently.  Didn't take long to realize
the K&N filters were nearly completely plugged.  Temporarily replaced them
with fresh paper filters, and changed out the heavily sooted plugs and he had
a completely different car.

Nothing against the filters personally, but people need to realize that
maintenance on them is not optional, it is a requirement.
