Default battery = in the trunk... engine bay = clean

its not the cleanest bay around, but amongst preludes... its up there

no ac, cc, ps. battery is now in the trunk.

still needs some cleaning but its getting there :hehe








i need to find somewhere/someway to mount the coolant resovoir tho... i doubt that one zip tie will hold for long

comments/questions are all appreciated


edit: heres a before pic with the battery up front



and heres a really old pic from when i still had power steering

This is something I would like to do to my car, but if you go to the track you have to have an off switch if you relocated your battery, something I don't want to do.

On mine I cut off the part from the battery tray that holds the overflow tank in place and used a little Home Depot bracket to bolt it to the frame. Holds the tank in the same spot with OEM mounting stuff.
