So I heard something about a trunk battery.is it true that if you move your battery to the trunk RMR won't let you run unless you have a outside battery kill switch?

Not sure how strick RMR is but it is in the NHRA rulebook, the battery should also be in a sealed box vented outside the vehicle...

Now Josh, let's do it in a Jake scale from 1-10 rather than a Josh scale... That puts it at... 34?

Did you ever get a stepper motor? Haha.

That'd be a great idea, but I'm not sure everyone will be up to paying for park entry and the preferred parking... Plus that's the date of the next autocross! Crazy that it was empty today, think people thought it was going to rain? Every time I've been there on a weekend day (F-Sun), except for waaay back in the day, it's been super busy. Family usually goes once a year on a weekday, we were supposed to go last Wednesday, but the rain ruined it...

It's at least half the size of the 8 trunk, it's super teenie. WTF do you use your trunk for anyway though? I hardly ever put stuff in the trunk in the Evo, or the Porsche, had back seats and a passenger seat. Only reason this car ever has stuff is that it is super duper easy to open the trunk with the button (I think 04+ Evos besides the RS had the trunk button, but mine didn't, so I'd have to put the key in or pop it inside.)
Between my subs and my gearfor work, the trunk in my 8 was damn near full. It would for sure be packed to the limit with a X

Hoy ****...34

Yep, I picked it up from booster a few weeks ago, then the week after I blew the clutch out. The car is now driving better than ever....hope it stays that way for a while.
