Tahiti Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I'm just about to get the car serviced - cambelt, coolant, oil and filter etc, and was just going to replace the panel filter with a standard element. But, what are the aftermarket options (just interested in panel filters)? I can only seem to find a K&N cotton one. What else is there (and what other models have the same airbox as the Starlet)?Thanks... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keirz Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 there is the trd one too, which i have on my glanza. which seems good, around £60 though. then i think ive seen a blitz one too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletRick Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 blitz, apexi and sard make aftermarket filters for the stock box. but tbh. you cant beat the K&N. they are the wins. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 There is also the HKS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nic1.3 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 i use the TRD panel filter and i cant fault it. it gives a subtle increase Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tahiti Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 thanks for the advice.Out of interest, does anyone know whether the airbox is the same on other models? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 The airbox shape slightly changes from the bottom over the different models but the filters will all be the same. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tahiti Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 Seriously? Excellent. Thanks for the info. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thunderpants Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 blitz,trd,k&n,hks make panel filters personally speaking yah cant go wrong with k&n i think they are the cheapest as well. i think? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winmmister Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I have a Κ&Ν panel filter. There are no big difference in my car except 3rd gear from 80-130km/h. Good acceleration... Also i understand that when the car is cold you can't hold it on Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kevink Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 i had a K&N panel filter first to, it's just laying around somewhere now...not much difference to be noticed tbh, but it is much better then original filtering wise for your engine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
