Battery Relocation (Pics)

First of all, I would like to thank superz on this board. He relocated my battery underneath the "passenger" seat... He's da man... If you guys need any installs, contact him.... Some pics.... for you guys to look at...

This battery weighs 20 lbs lighter than the stock one.....

Oh yeah, my car before had some idling issues with the stock battery but with this battery for whatever reason it is... All my stalling issues are gone....

It is under the passenger seat! What made you think that It was under the driver's side?

Thanks Loudogz. I'm considering making this into a kit that will included all necessary materials, fuses, wiring, detailed instructions, etc.. I personally build and weld the brackets, wiring, etc.. If anyone is interested please say so, I need feedback to see if its worth doing this kit. The pricing will depend on the amount of buyers, but I can say that it will outperform the Buschur battery kit ( A great deal if you consider his kit only includes a tiedown and a battery). Please let me know thanks!!

Are you at all concerned about having an unboxed battery just lying inside the passenger section of your car?

Anyway, neat. Looks good.

This battery is a completely sealed and DRY cell unit. IT cannot leak unless of course you break the case yourself.
