Got a Piper X panel filter was wondering if it was worth putting it on the VXR what bhp gains are likely and will it change the noise any, I know if had a small impact in the 1.2 I am wondering if it will be felt in any way putting it in a bigger engine. Whats the +'s/-'s :)

Guys, Lets try and get all the pictures in one place to keep it tidy, if we post them all in here it will be good:) What an awesome meet it was! Leake street was Amazing! very pleased with how that went! Then on to southend which was also good! A very nice day which i throughly enjoyed:). ...

i'm sorry but at trax i will not be in my vxr,as it may be getting ready for the BRITCAR 24HOUR RACE,at silverstone. we need £20,000 to race the 24hour and we have about £10,000 so it is looking good i think a corsa vxr has never been in a 24 hour race.:shrug: i will keep you up to date. ...

Seen a Corsa VXR in Arden Blue, they were wanting £10,995 with 18k mileage, and it didn't seem loved with scuffs all round (I mean ALL ROUND) including chips on both doors and not just a couple. Any views opinions or info? Cheers, Cam.

Gonna be taking the panel filter off my current car, is the air filter on the VXR the same as the standard engine. Dont suppose anyone knows if there is likely to be much gain putting the PX panel filter in the VXR, not expecting a lot just curious, it does make my 1.2 a wee bit more responsive
