    Default Discreet Engine Mods

    Hi

    Being very new here and this only being my second Post (First was today asking for tyre advise)

    I have just got a 06 Face lifted Vectra 1.8 Life with the z18XE engine.

    What kind of little mods that are nice and discreet (ie: non visible but improve driveability) are there???

    Also, as well as doing the airbox mod, get the K&N filter for it - makes a difference to smoothness and also economy!

    Have now done the airbox mod (standard filter though) and have noticed that there is a definately improved driveability and smoother throttle response.
