Corsas are the best, but they are too expensive.. and we dont have stock..i heard Hankook 225/40r18 are available, and they are cheap 750 Dhm each..

A single supplier?? i doubt it , no supplier have all the car sizes,and on a very fast notice no supplier can arrange to have these tyres available.

So Bashar i think you Tried the ROSSO they are pretty good on track.

If we find a decent interest from members to take part in the Sprint Challenge, we will try and secure some sort of sponsorship for our racing team. News have leaked to all of you about the cars being built or down the pipeline.....I'm thinking of 5-6 drivers willing to take part then it's doable to say the least. You folks will be doing it side by with the HPDS (High Performance Driving School) organized by the Club soon and instructed by our in-house BMWCCA instructors.

I'm up for a meet to discuss this further....

When's the first round btw??

I got my 1st cage from Krik Racing in AL. I paid around $600ish for it (you get a 10% discount if you claim you are a Bimmerforums member or in this case will promote the name on this forum). It was a decent cage (bolt on) but they can send it the weld in cage too. Get the welder here to weld in the car (in the car) or weld in the hoops and bolt it in the car. That should satisfy the FIA requirement since its quite loosely written (if an FIA welder approves and installs/welds it its a go; so I have read it but I can be wrong).

An Ex BMW CCA IP car would do some serious damage to the competition ;)

I am in running my STi for the event.

I got all my parts from Chuck Monticello (he is a forum member). Service was awesome and prices were competitive. Kudos!

Getting the parts and setting up the car is easy so dont be discouraged.

I also think that the FIA cage rules stepulate the thickness of the bars used. But it does make sense to me that if it's approved by an FIA welder then it's OK....
