As you are 17 I would leave mods for a couple of years. I agree with Dr deep. Ditch the roll cage and bucket seats. Put a set of normal seats in and don't think about lying on you insurance as if you have an accident they will try anything to avoid paying out.
Have fun with your car.
p.s. if you are anywhere near nottingham or shropshire and you do decide to get rid of the cage, I might be interested.
