Thanks fastharry, btw, how long should my fuel line be just to make up for the 3cc? Or can I just get a slightly bigger fuel filter like what hara put in his car?

Btw, I joined a race last sunday and I came in last. My wheel came of bec I didn't tighten it well and I bent my stinger and cracked my pipe. It took a while before I can get restarted but once I got back on the track, I drove the R40 like there was no tommorow. Yes, I still got last, around 12 laps down but that was due to my mishaps but man, I tried driving it to the limit and I was really wishing that my car didn't break because I know I'd be on the podium somewhere bec no matter what I do to the R40, it still remained stable, hooked and consistent.

Here's what I have so far in my R40:
1. Lightweight mid shaft
2. Lightweight 2speed shaft
3. Lightweight chassis
4. Carbon Fiber Front Shock tower
5. Carbon Fiber Rear Shock tower
6. Rear Blade Type swaybar

All I need now are:
1. Titanium screws
2. Lightweight 2 speed
3. Aluminum Hex hubs
4. Bigger tank (if there is any)
5. A more powerful engine
