Shifting weight
i just thought of possibly moving my 92 accord's battery into the trunk to get a little better weight distribution. has this been done before? do you think the difference would be noticeable? what else could i possibly move from the front to the rear?
Please search, while there is most likely not an Accord specific DIY, they exist and apply to multiple cars. I would suggest not half-assing it and making sure you properly ventilate and secure everything.
its really like 10pounds total
but you can use aquarium tubing (it gets hard with time, get the silicon kind if you want)
the stock pump is plenty, just having more hose means you'll have a little delay before it actually squirts, then it piddles on the glass
there are battery relocation kits, but it still requires drilling and ****, and takes up room in the trunk, if it were me spending the money and doing the work, i'd mount it in the space between the bumper cover and body
it would suck to charge and jump start though, youd have to get under the car, and might not be able to use jumper cables

im thinking of mounting it to the forward end of the trunk. the previous owner screwed up my trunk anyway. i guess i could also mount it between the rear passenger seats on the floor. but that would look like garbage and might be hard to charge
