CLUB EVENTS Mark leaves it late and proves the Ibiza is indeed a Rally Legend. in first then booting the throttle, trying to get those precious PSI's into their tyres, and the temperatures through those EBC's. Well, im awake on a Friday morning at 7am to go and wash the car and try and get some final adjustments done (like changing the cd's in the changer etc) However by 8am i realise i should have been out of bed an hour ago, so have to bypass the "thorough" car wash and settle for the express one. Im meeting Mr Forbes at 9-30 so dont want to be late. At 9-23 i leave my house for the 10 mile trip to our meeting place at Knutsford to find Mark rather damp, "she told me the end was a bit dodgy," OK mate, each to their own, as we decided it would be better to not wash the cars anymore as our attempts were failing miserably, we set off for Lichfield/Curborough. Hitchhikers were a constant problem. Prayers were said to the tyre smokin god. Fought the usual friday M6 traffic, down the speed camera infested A50/51 and on towards Halliards Cross, which is now Fradley Park for those who like us, missed it the first time. We turn up to Curborough to be met by a man resembling a monkey with a strange London accent swearing at us, ok i thought, bit strange, but we gave him some peanuts and he let us pass onto the circuit. The low down hum of 2.0 engines, rattly cams and whining turbos greeted Zboyd and myself, shortly followed by a loud cheer and ferocious clapping, "oh yes" i thought "they have realised that 'Saul Senna' and 'Mark Mansell' have arrived" Alas the cheers were not for us, they were for our founder and leader Mr Burton, not for displaying his excellent car controlling abilities, nor his knowledge of the Curborough track but for spinning his passion wagon at the first corner on his first attempt. "Its my tires!" he proclaimed wildly, ok John, we believe you. By this time anticipation has taken hold of the group, we say our hellos and the meeting is called to a point, we get the usual "be sensible" and "take it easy on that corner" speech from said spinner, and we take to the parade lap. This is now beginning to resemble an F1 warmup, people are crawling Then we all peel off and decide to go for a bacon butty. However, shock takes over the camp, word is passing through that the nice lady operating the "restaurant" has only brought 20 buns, panic starts to set in among the competi.....ahem, i mean fellow drivers club members, This panic is raised to a feverish state when glyn is spotted prowling the butty area like a lion on his savannah, i can read his thoughts "Im the daaaddy naah!" We all decide to let Mr H get the food in first to save bloodshed, and one by one we pile onto the track. down the straight. Save of the day for me was Bill Brockbanks mate in the Mk1 Golf, major sideways after a new Anti Roll bar, and a great recovery. The light started to fade as Bob Nash in the rally car go for a full run, after a few more laps it was decided that we were all still alive and able to drive our machines home, so it was as good a time as any to call it a night. A great day was had by all, it made an interesting and fun track day compared to Alconbury, however i hope we are back in Peterborough next year as the run offs are much bigger and the bars stay open later :) Its all going well, no major offs, people beginning to find their lines throughout the tight and twisty tarmac. Then we get a little more confident, and things start happening. I see a black flash and blood curdling tyre squeel as Brendy pulverises his car into submission, Steve H, by some act of god, manages to keep his car the right way up, and Mr Mark Jones clumps his sump in masterful fashion in an immortal conquest of late breaking. Others are having fun too, Mr P takes the TT for a spin and turns in a very respectable time. The 16V lads are having fun with their new cams, and their cars sound great belting Thanks to all who helped on the day and in organising the event, im sure i convey everyones thanks. Saul PS Anyone know if that monkey is available for hire? Can’t be any worse than a BurgerKing kids party..... eh Saul. :-) (Mark) Brendy needed parts so set about stripping the TT.

How to fit a K&N 57i induction kit for Seat Ibiza 1.4-1.6 MPI 96> by Big Stu Want to gain more power from a standard engine? An induction kit is one of a few simple modifications you can make to unleash more power and is easier to install yourself than you might think. You will need: K&N 57i induction kit (57-0193-1). Small head Phillips screwdriver. Long flat head screwdriver. Wire cutters. Carburettor cleaner. Piece of rag (1) Release and open bonnet. (2) Identify the OE air-box; it’s the big black thing sitting on top of the engine. (3) Disconnect the warm air pipe from the exhaust manifold, which feeds the intake neck of the air-box. (4) Undo screws on the top of the air-box marked with arrows using a small Phillips screwdriver. (5) Pull the air-box upwards, you will find an oil breather or pipe connected to the base of the air-box, disconnect this pipe, (6) Withdraw air-box from engine bay. (7) Clean and degrease the neck and inside of the airflow meter which sits on top of the inlet manifold with carburettor cleaner (don’t worry if the car will not start first time after using this) for higher mileage cars it might be worth buying a can 10K boost as well while you are at this stage. (9) Fit the short length of hose supplied, to the L-piece in the filter. (10) Place the filter with the jubilee clamp on to the airflow meter, with the L-piece and hose closest to the cam cover, making sure that the K&N logo is straight and parallel with the cam cover. (11) Push the end of the hose from underneath the cone filter into the oil breather pipe that you disconnected from the OE air-box. (12) Position the jubilee clamp so you can easily adjust it and tighten it. (13) Make sure and Check that nothing interferes with the operation of the throttle cable and mechanism. (14) Take the cold air hose and stretch it out a little. (15) An ideal place to position the “inlet” end of the cold air hose is an aperture directly behind the grill next to the radiator; use a cable tie to firmly secure the hose to the radiator, using a handy bracket on the radiator itself. Don’t over tighten the cable tie or you may crush the cold air hose snip off any excess cable tie (16) Route the cold air hose around the side of the engine right next to the cam belt cover and secure the pipe to the bracket once used by the warm air hose on the OE air-box with a cable tie, then secure the cold air hose to the dipstick tube using another cable tie, not dipstick itself (17) Angle the “outlet” end of the cold air hose towards the cone filter, the manufacturer states that the outlet of the hose must be no nearer than 10cm to the cone filter. Positioning the hose closer than this or right up against the cone filter itself will be more beneficial, but the filter may require more servicing as it will be prone to clogging up. The choice is up to you. (18) Make a final check of everything that you have done, remove tools, close the bonnet and go for a drive. Job done.
