Just got my 98 Griff, and looking forward to a little track work. Unfortunately (or maybe that's fortunately) Australian regulations requires a fire extinguisher mounted inside the cabin for track days. Any ideas about where to put it and how to make it removeable and not leave ugly scars?

The best place I've found is bolted to the floor sideways under the drivers knees. There, you can reach it while you're strapped in, and also reach it from outside without climbing inside the car. Alternatively, strap it to the rear stays on your rollover bar if you have one.

Glue some matching carpet onto it to help it blend in...
