Thumbs up Finally trunk mounted my battery...

Well, as of late and with the weather, my mini battery setup has had a rough time keeping my car happy and actually starting in the morning with any sort of force so i decided to take on the project of trunk mounting a new battery...

So here is what i came up with... I want to clean up under the hood a little more as it looks a little sloppy and im not sure what im going to do yet. We have plans to make an intake box to fill up the whole area to the right of my UICP, so i may not have to clean it up. There is just a lot of wires back there and im not really sure what to do or how to clean it up too make it very neat.

So ... here we are thru the stages...

TRAY INSTALLED...



TRAY WITH BATTERY...



CARPET AND THE REST OF THE LINER BACK IN...



SHOT OF TERMINAL CONNECTOR



BACK WALL... NO CHANGES, JUST ROUTED A FEW CABLES DIFFERENTLY



FINISHED TRUNK...



FINISHED ENGINE BAY FOR NOW...




A PIC OF THE NEW FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR WE JUST PUT IN LAST WEEK AND RAN ALL STAINLESS LINES...



AND THEN FROM THE OTHER SIDE





THANKS FOR LOOKING

lol, its too big now really... i want to keep temps cool because the mani is pretty warm and i have all that engine bay to fill up so i might as well make something useful... and besides, it will be custom and different than everyone elses engine bay which is what i want to do. We are planning on making an intake tube from under the car to bring cold air into the box.

I see your 2 subs. One battery is ok for the rest of the car? I mean you got a nice sound system, it will drain your battery.

It's sarcasm. Just one battery in the trunk.
