Hi people just woundering if anyone have changed the panel air filter to a for example k&n panel filter. Was woundering if anything changes on performance. Also where is the best place to get them from.

Thanks mark

Hi Mark,

I got a BMC panel filter for my 100, cant say I noticed to much of a difference maybe slight difference in pick up. I got it from ebay there are a few guy on there that sell them, I found if you message them direct and ask if they can do you a better price then the buy it now they normally do it if you deal direct!

Hope that helps!

K&N air filter is fitted to my 100HP. Thought it worthwhile as pretty cheap and lifetime fit. Might be a slight improvement in performance and consumption, but it's not noticeable. Combined with an exhaust with better flow, then I'd expect a difference.

I had a K&N Induction kit fitted to mine, Halfords can get you one in a few days.

Uprated panle filters are available from a fair few websites. probably much cheaper than halfords....

The K&N filter is meant to be good but the best option is to go for proper induction. GSR all the way

Got a K&N flat panel replacement in mine and can't say that it's made a noticeable difference. +1 on Dan Friel's comment that the lifetime fit is a nice perk though, as long as you maintain it properly.

Pipercross in mine and tbh its made no difference to the car may decide to upgrade to a cone filter in the future

but for 35 pound i cannot complain!

Also got greenstuff pads on the front they make a difference so when yours need replacing its worth upgrading they are 44 pound from Ebc brake shop online

 

[midget4hire]

to get some sort of noticeable gains, it pretty much needs to be either a BMC CDA or a GSR kit
Just replacing the filter will do nothing at all. they just last longer than oem filters

I found yellowstuff to be much more responsive than greenstuff, but green are a good upgrade

Desided to go and get a custom exhaust made after looking at the aftermarket 1s. Been quoted £300 fully fitted for a stainless steel from the cat back. Wot do people think.

Sounds about right.

They do yellow stuff??

 

[FullMetalPanda]

They do green, yellow and red. If I remember rightly green is road, yellow is fast road and red is race. I have heard that the red pads only work when really hot so arent suitable for road use. Personally I would think that green pads are all you need for the 100HP as its not a very heavy or quick car.

I knew they did them for other cars just didnt know that they did for the panda.

Greenstuff are pretty decent though they just need a firm initial application then they bite hard

Agreed. Greenstuff is all you need on the Panda, perfect for small / light cars. And fitted to my car.

anyone tried the drilled and grooved discs?

No, and don't think there's any need. Good quality pads and regularly changed fluid is all you should need on the Panda.

 

[deltaforce]

Agreed with Dan (again)! I've run my 100HP, with stock brake setup, at a few track days and it coped perfectly well. More than enough stopping power - the car isn't that quick nor heavy, remember.

 

[midget4hire]

I had the yellow stuff made as a custom order. Theyve been on the car for just over a year, about 14,000 miles and still have plenty of life left in them.
Green are road
Yellow are track and road
red are fast road (for cars over 200bhp)
Blue are race only

I paid £280 for my exhaust, magnetti marrelli group N centre pipe and ragazzon Group N backbox
