K&N air intake system 57-0669 for Toyota Aygo, Peugeot 107 and Citroen C1 with 1.0 liter engines
K&N has developed a performance air induction system (57-0669) for several microcars with 1.0 liter engines. See the complete list of make and models below. The 57-0669 is equipped with a washable and reusable chrome top lifetime K&N air filter. This high flow K&N air intake is designed to achieve extra horsepower by delivering virtually free flowing air to the engine. The included flexible hose directs outside air to K&N air filter.

The K&N high-flow air filter is washable and reusable. The K&N cold air intake system is designed to free your vehicle from much of the original air box restriction while providing more power and excellent filtration.

Custom mounting hardware is included to keep the K&N air filter firmly in place. It takes about 90 minutes or less to install this K&N air induction system with simple hand tools.

The K&N 57-0669 air induction system fits the following vehicles:

Pearlman was fast and consistent throughout the fall championship season. He finished on the podium in every event on his way to his first championship as a Senior-class racer.

The 16-year-old drove his No.125 DPK Birel Kart with K&N products during the International Karting Federation sanctioned racing season.

Pearlman competed on the Grange Racetrack in Apple Valley, California and ran in front of the pack. Grange is situated in the high desert northeast of Los Angeles and is the fastest and most technical kart track in Southern California.

“The short fall days and limited daylight made the circuit even more challenging,” said Pearlman. “Running part of the day under the lights makes the tough circuit even more challenging. In order to be competitive, engine and chassis turning were critical to ensure our kart ran well with the changing temperatures. We rely on K&N products to ensure peak performance and maximum reliability in our karts, race car and tow vehicles.”

The Tri-C Karters is one America’s oldest and most competitive IFK Sanctioned Karting organizations. Pearlman’s final race event of the year will be the California State Karting Championships over the Thanksgiving weekend.

“We really want to take this opportunity to put the car through its paces on gravel for the first time before we get to the serious building stage,” said Comrie-Picard. “It’s an amazing car and we look forward to getting it out there into gravel rally competition.”

Comrie-Picard drove the car to a Modern division victory at the Targa Newfoundland in September, where it broke ground on the tarmac in a standard class.

“This Evo X is fantastic right out of the box, and we’ll be able to hold our own, but we have modest expectations for our debut gravel event,” he said. “Our vehicle preparation has just begun.”

The team plans to develop the Evo X for gravel over the course of the coming year, bringing performance modifications online throughout the season.

Comrie-Picard recently returned from the SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) show in Las Vegas, Nevada. He signed autographs at the K&N booth in front of his Rally Car that went end-over-end at the X-games. The car was suspended from the ceiling in the K&N booth and could be seen from almost every advantage point in the Central Hall at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

“K&N filters have been our choice for a decade,” he said. “We race in a high-dust, high-speed environment and K&N keeps contaminants out of our engines.”

His next race will be the Rally of the Tall Pines. It features some of the toughest driving challenges in North America with conditions often referred to as winter roads and summer ditches. Unpredictable weather at this time of year means the roads can be slick with ice or snow. This early in the winter there are no cushioning snow banks to help keep the cars out of deep ditches.

More than 40 teams are expected to take the start at this event and Team ACP will have the first and only Evo X in the field. The rally takes place November 20-22 and includes more than 150 kilometers of competition near Bancroft, Ontario in Canada.

Her father, Loren Snyder said he is her proud crew chief and banker. “When she won her first race, I realized Taylor was wiping the dirt off of her face onto my shirt,” he said. “Besides her banker and crew chief I also realized I’m her Handi-Wipe.”

Taylor said the pink rim design on her Trophy Kart is a target on the track. “The boys know I’m a girl because of the pink and they don’t want me to beat them,” she said. “They really come after me during my races. It’s okay, because I love what I do and I love meeting the fans especially the little girls who want to race one day too.”

Snyder grew up around motorsports, including fast boats and motocross. She has plans to race again next season. Her Trophy Kart was on display at SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Nevada. “We use K&N filters because it is the one thing I don’t have to worry about when Taylor races,” said Loren Synder. “K&N is the best.”

The 2008 NHRA Drag Racing Series season finale at Auto Club Raceway at Pomona rounded out one of K&N’s strongest years in NHRA racing.

“K&N sponsored drivers won National and Divisional events throughout the season which led to two National championships and ten Division championships throughout the seven NHRA Divisions,” said K&N Vice President of Research and Development Steve Williams. “The new pro stock hood scoop is being used on four top contending teams and set top speed at many events. The competitiveness of today’s racers in NHRA competition is at its all time high. Winning is so difficult that it really says a lot about the driver and the team when they can finish in the top ten Nationally these days.”

K&N sponsored racer Shawn Langdon was the first in NHRA history to win back-to-back Super Comp World Championships. “My K&N dragster scoop and air filter assembly (100-8505) keeps my motor clean, keeps dirt out of the carburetor and helps with engine performance,” he said. “The K&N oil filter (HP-3002) is the best I’ve ever used.”

Langdon started out the 2008 season with 17 consecutive round wins. In the middle of the season things slowed down. After Indy, he stepped it up. He finished 11 points ahead of the pack to earn his second World Championship. Langdon is also the 2008 Lucas Oil Division 3 Super Comp Champion. In addition to his national and divisional championships in Super Comp, Langdon also finished No. 8 in the world in Super Gas. Langdon showed off his true driving talent in Super Gas by racing with borrowed cars throughout the 2008 season.

K&N sponsored racer Dan Fletcher is NHRA Competition Eliminator World Champion as well as the NHRA Lucas Oil Division 7 Champion. He is also in the exclusive league of NHRA drivers who have won fifty or more races. “Thanks to K&N oil filters (HP-3002) my engines have outlasted and outperformed the competition,” he said.

Gary Stinnett, another K&N sponsored racer finished No. 3 in the World in Super Comp. He also finished No. 1 in NHRA Lucas Oil Division 5 points in Super Comp and Super Stock.

Aaron Kinard finished No. 7 in the world in Super Comp and was also the NHRA Division 7 Lucas Oil Super Comp Champion. K&N’s Steve Williams finished No. 8 in the world in Super Comp.

K&N sponsored racer Mike Ferderer finished No. 2 in the world in Super Gas and also earned the Lucas Oil Division 6 Super Gas championship. “My K&N Filters car has been deadly all year,” he said. “My K&N hood scoop and air filter are the reason for some of my best speeds and consistency.” K&N sponsored racer Ray Connolly finished No. 7 in the world in Super Gas.

K&N sponsored racer Jimmy DeFrank finished No. 2 in the World in Super Stock and is the NHRA Lucas Oil Division 7 Super Stock Champion. DeFrank also finished No. 4 in the world in Stock.

K&N is very proud of its relationship with the top racers in the world of drag racing and we are definitely looking forward to 2009, said Williams.
