About the harnesses:
FIA states 10 degrees downward angle as the highest recommended, but up to 40 degrees is allowed.
The point of the seatbelt is to keep you in the seat so you don't get thrown around in the car if in a crash.
The point of a 4+ point harness is to keep you in your seat when driving hard and if in a crash.
If you were to have a serious accident in the current configuration, depending on what happens in the crash, there is a chance that the mounting holes of the straps get moved around, tightening the straps, breaking the back of the seat (because it's not designed for this), and compressing your spine (which is a very very bad thing since that is where your spinal cord is).
You want some kind of mounting bar at approximately the same height as your shoulders, or mounted pretty far back so the slope isn't so bad.
You can look at pictures of rally cars and see how they've done it to get some ideas. Basically, it has to pull back, not down.
You DON'T want to install a cage since you don't drive with a helmet on the road and if you bump your head on the cage bars without a helmet it'll hurt like hell and possibly send you to the hospital.

Some people mount the harnesses to the seat... I don't think it's very nice to go flying out of a trashed car strapped in a seat...
