It's that time of year again.. *READ*
 

I posted this last year but I figured with so many new members, I'd post it again.

I suggest everyone check your air filter and intake box. With all the leaves falling off the trees and blowing around, I was very surprised to find the area in front of the filter totally blocked with leaves! I suggest checking it every week or so.. You will be amazed what finds it's way into the air box. All you have to do is lift the 2 clips up and pull the filter straight up.. Very easy..

Enjoy...

lol, once i found a candy wrapper in there. I think its because the car is so low, it just catches everything.

Thanks for the tip k2we!!! Could you maybe post some pics of how to do it? I know you said it is easy to do, but I don't want to look like a dumbass out trying to find the 2 clips(I keep it parked on the street at campus).

It's very easy Zlove ! Lift up the two clips on your air box and then lift out the filter assembly....comes straight up.

hey, thanks for the tip. cleaned mine out today!

Thanks -- nice of you to post that.

Not too many blowing leaves here in L.A. but mine's probably full of trash, sand, and dead lizards. I think there's a civic or two in there as well...

I'll look tonight.
