   Hi Guys,
   
   Take a look at this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/K-N-AIR-Filter...3286.m20.l1116
   
   It is a Citroen Saxo K&N Air Filter. Is really good? What is your opinion?

    In a nutshell... yes. I had one for quite a while, wish I hadn't.
    
    Plus side is that it sounded absolutely awesome... but it had no benefit to the way my car drove at all. You need air in a cool, still place before an induction kit will work properly, preferably located down in the passenger side wheelarch (that's where mine is) where the wheelarch liner and general bodyshell keep the cone in a relaxed environment, but it's also high enough to avoid puddle problems. Put simply, putting your induction next to your engine block is about as useful as an arse on your elbow (unless you want to sneakily shit in someone's dinner).

    Raceland one would be a better bet imo. Even then is it really worth it?

    really? Fair enough. Tbh the standard will do the job on a 1.1. Although Sam is modding his 1.1 206 and getting good results. Pester him on msn and i'm sure he'll share his secrets.
