I hope they're ok because I plan on doing a battery relocation pretty soon as well.

1FastT2, i like the way that looks alot!
is that a kit or did you fab up that battery holder....i would like to do that, as it wouldnt tie up one of my bins...
does anyone know if they sell kits that are like that?....i dont have to have my battery just hanging out in my rear bin....i think that is a nice alternative!

Summit Racing sells battery relocation kits, as does most any other speed shop. Please use sealed batteries. Having flooded lead acid batteries in the passenger compartment is a safety hazard.

Former Moderator. RIP Icemark.
And if you are going to relocate the battery, make sure that the battery is really mounted down.
I have heard of three people now, that rolled or accidentally off-roaded their FC's with the battery relocated, and the battery came loose and went flying.

I 'm running a Taylor Battery Box in my passenger bin. I have a vented tube outisde the car and two cutoff switches in case someting goes wrong.
I have two steel plates welded onto the car so the battery tray won't move or fly off. I had the entire battery box shift once on track. Freaked the hell out of me, lost total power in the car, luckily I coasted to a stop. If you put it in the bins you need to reenforce it very well..

1FastT2 where do you run the wires through?? Did you go under the car? I'm in the process of rewireing my fuel pump(once that hit and run bitch gives me my insurance money!) so under the sidestep is already taken, if thats the way you used...
