thing is like $80 from what I've heard, I'd really like one, way to go cheap *** mitsu.

 

WTF???????????

 

Well since I have allergies, I might order one. I know they don't stock this one, so I'll have to wait.

 

Cool. I'll check this out tonight and see if I can fabricate one from another filter from Lowes or HomeDepot.

 

it can be had for $61 shipped.

 

now that's the type of thinking I can relate to, let me know what you come up with, I'll see if I can't think something up myself

 

There appears to be 2 different type of filter. The one I saw in the 04 is thin and white in color. Then, the one on this thread has charcoal bits and the material is thicker. I guess the $ 80 filter would be the one shown here. Good pictures! That's what I was talking about. Cut out that plastic slot and insert the filter.

 

hey n00dle where'd you get that price?

 

So is this the carbon filter or the white filter's part number?

 

for $80 it better be charcoal!

 

Here

The part number is not 87210A. That number is it's ID on the microfische. You give that number to mitsu parts counter and they can't look it up. The part number is MN185231. The image on the microfische I saw is exactly like the part in the photos in this thread.

 

Well I just checked it out and for now I fabricated a filter by American Air Filter for the house in its place. It is a "cut n fit" type. Later on I will probably purchase the real thing.

 

What did you use to cut the plastic panel?

 

With the recirc vent open you can just stick filter material into the opening. Or at least it is a plan....

 

So I clicked the link and got the attached page. Notice the description. Interesting filter.
