    Ayham,

    Not sure about the E46 but gauging the build here. I think Randy Mueller's car should be a benchmark there is another guy CPLouis on BFC which has a light CMod car, will ask those guys.

    Agree on the BW brake ducting kit. Not to mention your rotors and pads will last a while too :) BTDT

    Thanks all, the weigh of the car is with the driver. Without driver its 1322kg (2914.5 lb). which is lower than befor by almost 74lb. There is not a big room for big reduction. I can shave another 100lb by going light weight battery, mid pipe, fenders, and fuel cell. But its not worth the $ at the moment.

    The brillia light wight weight lasted around a year. I didn the mistake of leting it drain out wothout giving it a charge :( during the summer.

    Thanks all for the kind words, victory feels good :D

    The race was very tough on the car, I had problem with the clutch sticking on the last 3 rounds which almost caused me a down position, I also had problems with the coils/spark for un know reason the car was vibrations for sometimes all went away at the end. I still need to inspect the car for any other problems.

    I had the bimmerworld break ducts system on the last race, OMG what a difference the breaking power is still there even after many high speed braking. One of the favorites modes.

    I corner balanced the car with driver its 1408KG with stock battery (11lb battery is dead :( ). So that is almost like the weight before the cage in-fact a little lower. I will follow with pictures soon in sha allah
