**Edit - Just found out that its never been tested on a DA (90-93 Integra), so unknown if it actually fits that.**

This is what we use now to make life easier..

you'll do a lot better to run something like an odyssey under there, if you arent running a huge stereo it will work just fine, and probably save you about 20 pounds

i had to mount mine on the passenger side so the washer fluid reservoir would fit, true daily driver, lol... easy access to the positive terminal through the hole where the stock intake ran down... its just a simple angle iron mount...

So is everyones box bolted or welded to the body. This is a daily and very little stereo crap.

I see a lot of heavy full size batteries, the AGM batteries are much smaller and lot easier to mount, without a stereo they are all you need,

A heavy battery in the front is not always a bad thing. 99.9% of people who are using large batteries do it for the added weight.

Do you still have to run a kill switch if it's mounted in the bumper?

yes, if the battery isnt in the factory location, you have to have a kill switch.

My local track said no kill switch if it's mounted in the bumper unless I'm going over 135mph. That's Portland Intl. Raceway.

Local track is different from NHRA/IHRA requirements...

Does the rule book just say non-oem location = kill switch? and does the kill switch need to be accessible by the rear of the car too?

Talk to the track but nhra div1 techs all have been ok with any front mounted battery not having a kill switch asong as you are slower than the et cutoff to have it.
