Smaller Battery???

It appears that it is possible for me to use a cai on my auto if the battery was a little smaller. My friend was able to use a small motorcycle battery on his. Is this a bad idea??? or is there a smaller battery that i can get to make room..

you could relocate the battery to the trunk. cheap mod that helps clean up the engine bay a little

and don't talk about the mods, you haven't even been here more than a few weeks

Note: I had an Evo mini battery kit for my Lancer - the mounting points are different. So be careful what you end up buying.

I like the trunk idea better. But I think the transmission is going to be your bigger problem in getting the CAI in there. But good luck.

Check out EBay. You can buy Odyessey's mini automotive battery direct from them. I bought the battery below and have had no problems.
