well ryan i cut all mounts of and pop rivted the outer 2 back on and yes the dash was all over when engine is on but now cage is in its not bad all loom is down to the min to
as for tyres well they last 24 days on road mile son front due to how low it is and it like to torque steer a bit
fuel is about 25mpg at its best and as low as 15mpg
shame of this is its not hit a legal track yet and i have not even been to my garage to work on it in about 3 months need to get my self sorted and the beast out again lol

Plus running an electric heater through the OE vent makes life easy, I ran no heater and the car was dangerous.
It also keeps the wires hidden which pleases places.

For those poeple that have track cars that they also use on the road, you have to have heating i think it is for it to pass the MOT, unless they aint bothered.
