Well one is going back in mine, ordered this morning.

I'd not get too worked up about not having one; the Prelude doesn't & most of the dust & crap just gets blown out of the vents.

After being inspired by this thread, I checked mine last night!




Think it might need changing! Haha

I have just bought one following MI5's recommendation in post 12. Obviously much cheaper than Honda, and a first class, signed for, post free, delivery by the supplier!



I'm in no hurry to fit it as the current filter was changed three years and 20,000 miles ago.

Excellent, got mine too and fitted ! My new air filter cone arrived today as well so yet another job done, 9 days into ownership and things are progressing!
