Exclamation More Power !!!!

Hey guys i bought my vtr as standard about 3 months ago now since then i have had the windows tinted, 17" rims on, supersprint 4 2 1 mani, sportex back box, bosch super4s, Green air filter fed to front and one hell of a sound system in but my main concern is it was faster standard than now why is that? is there anything else to do other than go for a vts (i would but cant afford one yet ) i mean there 4 vtrs where i live and they seem pretty quick and mine like a snail. please help thanks.

Is all that sound just making it heavy?

Also those 17" rims won´t help much!

change your uber huge 17 inch alloys for some 15's or standards, rip out the huge sound system and your rear seats and then feel the free power also get a full supersprint system! and an enclosed induction kit as an open filter will be sucking on hot air and will be doing f**k all for performance!

Thanks guys i will try ditching the 17`s and go back to vtr standards or some lenso 15`s. the sound system aint much to it really in terms of weight wise tweeters door speakers 4 6x9s 2 1000w amps 1 farahad power cap 12" sub. the open filter is in the corner near my washer fluid with a 72mm cold air feed to it will it make much difference to an enclosed

it sat in the garage at the min like i honestly dont have a clue on how it would be affective to get enough air into the engine as the slam pannel right in the way and there no holes or anything for air to pass into the enclosure.
