Now put everything back together. Things should slide and click into place. The last part where you put the latch back to the glove box, you will need to use a little bit of force to snap it back on.

Other comments:

Now you will be breathing in filtered air :p

you forgot to remove the 9 pieces of panel used to provide back pressure if the filter was not fitted.

nice diy but just add the ozhonda disclaimer and then ull be sweet

How much?

$80-90.

Does my 96 EK civic sedan have one of these or can I fit one?
Cheers Brett.

you can get one from burson for under 30. its the same as the oddy's. Ryco RCA108P)

Just a question, does this filter prevent the build up of stinky shit inside your air vent? or is that totally non-related.. i've noticed that everytime i turn on the air con now, it smells like something died for about 5mins then goes away after the aircon gets goin, anyone know how to get rid of this?

great great diy :D

If you are thinking about the mould and rotting crud that would accumulate around the damp cooling core, it should as it would filter out the dust/pollen and other stuff that would otherwise accumulate there. If you see Shimmian's post pictures, you can just make out the fan which is downstream.

I got one from the parts dep at Brighton Honda and they charged $56 (or something very close to that), maybe I could have got cheaper, but at least it wasn't $80-90 as mentioned earlier in this thread..

Its sitting on my shelf ready to go, if only my car had turned up LOL

It does seem a bit cheap of :honda: to leave them out I must admit..

EDIT: Ohh and thanks to the OP for the instructions...
