Didn't you have a lightweight battery too Jonny?

Oh yeah.. And one of those too lol.. Thats almost 12kg on its own!!

Also cut down AC bracket was 2kg and cot down bolts and removed bolts from the inside was 5kg or so..

Carbon boot, wings, and poly carbonate the whole car will be 75kg+ saving on its own.. Along with removing electric windows etc thats almost 100kg :)

Almost went for the BTCC system with R32 rear that AMD use, but it is very loud (over 100db) and chances are I'd start to get turned away from track days  :surprised:

I should think that's plenty loud enough as it stands Neil. Do you have the smaller rear box already?

Everything that goes in this candy white looks the best you can get Neil, which is a good way to do it.
Would like to hear that giving it some, you doing any drag strip runs this year? was a shame that you only had the Beemer at the Pod last winter.

Neil your signature made me hunt for your build thread, and what a find! What an amazing project. being honest, the only things I don't like is the OSIR grill and the painting of each side of the bonnet, but everything else is spot on!  :happy2:

Is there anything else on the horizon? I'd love to see a full mod list along with a dyno chart if possible   :notworthy:
