For one of the nastiest looking cabin filters :)
Was searching the forum and found out how to take it out and wow this thing is filthy. Looks like its been in there since the car was manufactured. Put in a replacement order so I won't have to breathe all this for too long. Warning: what you are about to see is nasty

RX8Soldier 03-29-2011 02:39 PM

It seems like it. I hope this shows people should check these things at least once a year.

I think there was a bird nest in mine, I found a few feathers :Freak_ani I decided to go with just the stock one. The aldehyde one is mighty expensive in my book :rolleyes:

Best one I saw was REDRX3RX8's, he is from west Texas and his was FULL of sand, it looked like someone just dumped sand in it. His car only has 22k on it.

c0ldf1ame 03-29-2011 03:39 PM

o man im afraid of what i'll find in mine, car just clocked 95k and i totally forgot about this

Figs 03-29-2011 03:51 PM

I'm about to round off 94k so I'm guessing this is worst case senerio haha

Rotary-RX8 03-29-2011 03:51 PM

Mine needs to be replaced so long ago lol. Mine has like twigs and shit i think its a birds nest. Do you notice a difference in smell when you changed it ??

alnielsen 03-29-2011 04:01 PM

I replaced mine at about 35k miles. They looked relevantly clean. I vacuumed them out and put them on the side for reuse.

ZumnRx8 03-29-2011 04:15 PM

Oh crap 70k and I live in the desert. :uhh:

Speed_8 03-29-2011 04:39 PM

Seriously. I swear my vents feel like they throw out more air...also more dust since I've loosened up all the dust that was embeded in the filter

Speed_8 03-30-2011 12:00 AM

Figs 03-30-2011 12:09 AM
