Title: RE-Amemiya air filter element
Post by: nathsrx7 on November 25, 2006, 09:27:17 PM
Hi Guys,
           im pretty new here, im Nath from Maidstone in Kent. so Hi to all reading this. Basically iv just taken my Rx7 off the road for the winter, and have decided to tidy up the engine bay. i have a RE-Amemiya air filter and noticed it was real dirty so decided to clean the filter element. I decided to wash the foam. but itfell apart before i even got it near the sink. So i need a replacement. All id like to know is, can i just make my own from foam ? or is the foam a special type of foam ?? as iv only managed to find it in 1 place on the i-net and its £85, just for a bit of foam!

Any help is welcome,
                             Cheers Guys

Just cleaning mine at the moment and looks like standard foam to me might be a pain to fit in netting though. Can\'t say for sure what density it is though which I guess is your question.
RE:works at top sell replacements but coming at similar price to what you mentioned.
Might be worth the investment to buy one and keep on top of the cleaning then it will last years and be worth it.
Just my 2p worth all the best with it
