relocated the battery to the trunk over the weekend.
i reused the stock battery tray, made my own hold down. 3/8 rod. and 1/0 cable with terminal ends. i mounted the box tight in the corner so it wouldnt take up much room. i'm gonna make a battery box out of aluminum sheet metal later on.
i routed the cable under the car and through the gommets in the trunk. grounded the battery on one of the quad shock bolts. and made a new ground cable from the stock location on the timing cover to the sway bar bolt.
i put the Taylor cutoff switch behind the license plate so it looks really stock. cant even tell anything was done there.
i didnt run the cable from the alt to the battery even tho i already bought it along with a inline fuse. i wanted to get my car going again so i'll do it later on
the engine bay looks so empty in that corner now.
i noticed a good difference with it in the trunk. i feel the body lift in the front (not the tires lol) and the rear of the car squat down when launching.
here are some crappy pics. camera batteries were drained and need to be replaced so these will have to do for now
let me know what you think
