Keep it upright then mate, I would. All you need to do is get a filler cap mounted somewhere like out where the black 3 quarter vents are (stealth install perhaps?)

Long as it's secure and safe to use I can't see why not but then depends on what rally you want to run in tbh

Weld the tailgate shut and put the filler through the rear glass....
As for having a boosted engine to run against mine, well, I had the pleasure of taking mine out last night and it wheel spun on boost in 4th at 70mph!!! suppose it didn't help that I was bouncing off the rev limiter in each gear....
I think I might need a bit of LSD to drive it properly, Limited Slip Diff would help too....
Need to uprated cluth as well, it isn't going to last long...

Rob,
On the subject of being 'Rally Legal', you will have to firewall that tank to be able to rally it, this means building a seperate container round the tank to seal it off from the main compartment of the car, i was going to go this route with my tank but decided against it for this reason and put the tank back in the original position under the car

That's gayer than two guys (one with frosted hair, the other shaved) getting out of a white Mk2 MR2 with blue tinted windows (I've seen it and it kinda screamed 'We'd get married if we could').
Stealth the damn thing then it'd look super smooth. Mate of mine put the filler in the boot of his eccy cabrio and it looked really good without the filler cap on display on the side (black ally fuel filler caps are available too)
