Good idea, a front seat and a rear seat base will save you 26kg's which is worth 0.05 off your ET.

Too much to stuff around with for a friday, Finally got the rear part of the exhaust with no knocking. But I'd like to drive it without the rear part on everyday sounds, Well you know,. Thanks for the offer.

Best speak to SLY (Wayne) he went down this road of running a 10 then getting chopped until he fitted a cage.
Although they seemed to have relaxed some rules of late, 118.5 mph and haven't had the 4 point harness in enforced.
They say there supposed to be keeping a log book on cars.
