   Yo. Just bought a 2000 vtr, and I want to make a few small engine mods. Just little things, to maybe improve the performance slightly. I don't really want induction kits, new exhausts or anything that makes it stand out to much or make tonnes of noise.
   
   One thing I was thinking of is one of those green cotton standard replacement air filters, don't know how much difference one of those would make, if any (Though on the website I can only find the standard replacement filters for the models since 2001, and mine is a 2000.)...But that's why I have come here
   
   So any decent suggestions would be appreciated.
   
   Thanks.

   im not sure if they made a pannel filter your your model as you have a round air filter the older ones have a rectangle 1
   
   how about an enclosed induction kit as they hardly give any sound
   
   to be honest you wont see any performance from just an air filter anyway

   Hmm. I just wanted it to seem standard, for when I eventually sell it. Don't want to piss about taking everything off, as most people tend to prefer buying the standard cars.
   
   I was tihnking maybe ECU chips or the like, that kinda thing.
   
   I don't know really, know sweet FA about cars really.

   chips wont work mate
   
   you want a remap but theres no point on a standard car
   
   you could alwyas buy things and keep the standard bits for when you sell thats what iv done

   ecu chips are wank!
   
   replace the pannel filter for a more free flowing one.
   
   you wont really be able to do much without increasing the noise slightly.

   I don't mind increasing the noise slightly, I just don't want my car to sound like a mustang.

    For those of you who have had a panel filter and an enclosed induction kit, is there really much difference between them? Don't mean to hijack the thread, just thought I'd ask while we're on this topic!
