An hour or 2 hopefully

 

bump because black got his car back.

 

still waiting on those pics.

 

haha, im a honda mech...... no noob here bro.

 

where's the pic's

 

I'm rippin apart my dash tonight, hopefully I find it. I'll post back tonight for sure

 

Your a pimp

 

Yeah, a slow HAHA

 

 

I'm bored


































that's enough, for now

 

they should make a shirt with this

but instead of saying "thread" it should say shirt. I think people would buy that, I probably wouldn't though. Anyone feel free to steal my shirt idea and make millions if you want. "you know that guy who invented the pet rock he made a million dollars from that"

P.S. I'm so bored I just quoted myself from two minutes ago

 

Dude, whatever, I haven't had my fuckin car for the last fuckin month, car was at the alternator/starter shop for a bad starter, then at the tranny shop for a bad gasket, then at the suspension shop, I haven't driven my car cept like 3-4 times in the last month. Had a rental car for a week and then bought my new whip. So yeah, I haven't had time to rip apart my car, you need the car to rip it apart. So I have good news and bad news, the good news is I got pics, the bad news is my girl has my digi cam and is at work, so I took em with my cell phone, they're behind the evaporator, to the right at least on my 3.0. Here's the pics I took, sorry for the quality.

 

Thanks PimP - now i need to figure out what i'm looking at - thanks for the pics homie. You said you got airfilters from an accord?

 

chill out I'm j/k. I just worked on my car for the past 30 minutes trying to find the filters with no luck. I know exactly where these pics on the car are and I was trying to get behind that grate with no luck. That grey filter you see behind the grate in the first pic is actualy the door that cuts off the outside air when you turn on the recirculate option which looks like it is turned off in your picture which means the door is open. Below that grate is this "thing" (for lack of a better word) that spins around and I'm assuming that's what makes the wind. Also getting behind that grate is very difficult I couldn't access the bolts holding it in place with a socket wrench, or a regular wrench. Which leads me to beleive it's not there because if this was something that needed to be changed every year, it shouldn't be almost impossible to access. I'm not giving up yet I'll let some others try until I give up, maybe someone will be better than me at it and can figure this out.

 

just cuz u gotta change it, doesnt mean they didnt make it impossible. just look at the 2.x fuel filter

 

Holy shit, I never knew there was a cabin air filter..

My chassis has like ~180000 miles on it, should I change the cabin air filter too?

zhouz: I know what you mean with the fuel filter. I haven't changed it (need crow's feet) and the new filter has been sitting for maybe a year now..

 

You may be right, rereading my directions that I have, it looks like they're behind the evaporator. And there def is cabin filters on our cars, they're just listed as a non-serviceable item because you have to get behind all that crap

 

yumm, " non - serviceable " - sounds like a challenge to me. but black.. you replaced yours for real right? feel like doing a picture documentation?

 

 

I haven't done mine yet, but I know they're there. Back in the Acura-CL.com days there was a thread that I can't find for the life of me that showed how to replace it, that's the only reason I even knew we have a cabin filter. I plan to do mine this week, that's why I bought the filters. I will def take tons of pics now that I have my camera back

 

Thanks pimp, i look forward to it! i was so under the impression we didn't have them but know i understand them as not serviceable. Where did you get your replacements from?>

 

any auto parts store should have them, since they should be the ones for the 6th gen accord (probably 7th too), 2nd gen cl, the TL 2nd and 3rd and I believe the TSX.

 

I got mine from advanced auto parts website

Fram part# CF8603

 

:surrender My apologies to 97BlackAckCL for not believing you. I never knew they hid a filter back there.

 

so black u ever replace dem filters??? if so were dem pics?

 

Not yet, gonna try when my interior comes out

 

really slackin on that aren't ya

 

OH GOD!!! Why'd you bring this thread back from the dead!! There's no servicable air filter down there, trust me I've looked!! blacks got the air filters that fit the accord but they don't fit our car. The accord air filters are easy to change, ours are not even close!! I'm not gonna do exploratory surgery on my car to try and find them either. If black wants to do that he's more than welcome to but I woudn't be suprised that when or if he finds the filters that the ones he has doesn't fit.

 

 

srry for bringin back up but ive been gettin dat funcky smell in my car again so i just searched cause i knew he was suppose to do a diy on it but when i searched i didnt find it so i brought this back from the dead. lol black is it gonna be anytime soon?

 

Yeah, it's on the list... somewhere.... Swappin my front suspension back on, then goin out of town, when i get back the interior should be coming out, I haven't been in a hurry for the interior, cuz I've been doin so much work in the engine bay and it's too cold to paint anyway.

 

2015 and still no pics.


Can you rehost them chris? im in this sort of dilemma.

 

that shit don't exist! I had to come reread this after you said you bumped it

Still can't believe I trusted blackack and bought an Accord cabin filter because he said it had one. I finally threw it away a couple years ago during a move, I had always hoped that he'd come through with proof, but alas.

 

i ordered the filter already so i gotta try, i'll post pix if i find it
