85 Tecate filter

[STiForester]

Anyone know what the filter for the 85 a2 looks like? Is there a core that a filter goes on? Or just one unit you screw in with the wing nuts?

The foam element goes over a metal cage which sits inside airbox. The cage has two studs that pass through the airbox and metal ring which allows the wing nuts to be tightened from the front. It's a poor design from a convenience standpoint.

Ok I bought one off eBay and the foam was destroyed but it has the cage brand new. When I order a replacement is it gonna be just the foam element? Or entire assembly?

More than likely just the foam.

Ok thanks. I just ordered it
