Really looks great. Love the Pascha on the 'Recaro'-esque seats.
I would recommend however, that you rethink the belt setup. Perhaps those are different, but most harnesses are supposed to be mounted closer to horizontal back from the shoulder holes (usually specified in the harness manual).
The exhaust is just a rear muffler bypass but it does sound very good - not at all boomy.
Weighed the car today - it had around 22 litres of fuel and came in at 1480kg or 3263 lb which, as an utter coincidence, is the weight the Clubsports were quoted at!!
Not bad. The 1480 kg were achieved with the full tanks, but I don't think that many production CSs were so lights. Most production cars were around 1515-1530 kg (with full tanks).

Very nice! Less weight is free horsepower, brakes, and handling.
For comparison only, my stripped-out GT with a full cage weighs in at 2,800 lbs. Your car with a heater, etc, is much more comfortable on the street.

After removing A/C, sunroof, stereo & speakers, your car still weighs 1480 kg even using front seats much lighter than the 2 original anvils, and with a proper rear seat delete?
That still sounds unreasonably heavy to me for a car supposed to make only 330 hp... How heavy is the half cage ?
What else do folks on here believe or know can be further removed or modified to bring the weight closer to 1400 kg while retaining street car levels of usability and comfort ?
It has full carpeting, factory sound deadening, headliner, spare wheel, tools, tyre inflator, door cards etc. Its designed for comfort - was a partially stripped out track car before and I wanted something more usable. If you took all of that out it would no doubt be closer to that figure.
