Got the kit on my Evo and it works great. (More starting amps than the stock battery.) See pics on the 2nd page of Evo Show & Shine. Lightning Yellow....

The oddessy comes with a steel box bolt it to the floor of your trunk and fish the cable up the passanger side and through the robber plug in the firewall than to your fuseble link I drilled a hole in my stock battery tray (Plastic) and use it as a non-grounded hold down for the Positive cables...

Wayne,

I just got the Odyessy installed on my car. A custom bracket was made by L&R Racing who has been doing prep on my cars for a long time:

I don't know. Do you want me to get the model number of mine for you?

You can also go with one from Buschur Racing. They have a complete kit. Although I don't think they use the Odyessey.

Wayne:

Model: PC 925T

Catalog #: 0765-2020

The shop that made all the parts ordered this battery from their supplier. They're in Canada. But I'm sure this same battery can be ordered in California.

LMK if you need help getting a sturdy bracket. Worse case senario I can ask my shop to make another bracket off my car and have them send it to you. They're 3 hours away from my house though, so I'll need some advance notice and it probably won't happen until after the Feb Thill event.
