   Does any body kno how to block off the heater pipes coming from the engine into the car because will be using it as a track car more than on the road so not having the heaters will not bother me too much

   heater weighs next to nothing - worth keeping it imo if nothing else for demisting the front screen. ymmv.

   Agreed, however in answer i think its a 20 or 25mm joiner, just join the pipes up in the engine bay... Simple

   Just cut the pipes feed and return from the matrix and bridge them. Its not really worth the hassle though as said above
