Hawker Oddessy pc680-mj battery w/ gold connectors
how much was this and where did you get it from?

also don't forget to tie the battery down. don't want to fail tech when you get to the track.

cre 18... i ordered these off ebay. according to the seller they are a limited production wheel so im glad i was able to find them. then again i won't know unless Rota tells me Yes those are limited.

hasback... so far i've spent around $1000 for everything listed

enrique... the battery was special ordered from a local battery shop called Think Positive for $130.00 shipped with the gold connectors. you can find this battery at batterymart.com for a few bucks less shipped. Actually the battery is tied down by the OEM battery tie down. i had to modify it and create a bracket to hold the battery away from the intake...small piece of metal with a lip drilled into the battery tray to hold and support the battery.

thanks for the comments. i'm doing the install of the suspension and wheels tomarrow and i'll be sure to post updated pics in this topic. the brakes adn intake/battery were installed last week...what a job!

the wheels are sitting next to me taunting me... and i called a bunch of places and got quoted $250 to mount and balance the wheels! i told the guy to F*ck off. in the end i called the guys a Maple Tires in Vernon and they are going to mount them for FREE. .nice guys.

Dang those tires are gonna be really big on that car.

Be careful w/ that intake and battery, I've seen metal intakes ground against the battery positive terminal on older Civics and CRX's w/ the battery up front like that. Ya gotta keep 'em separated!

its not pictured, but im using the red rag technique to make sure there is no contact. im also thinking about removing the battery tray and relocating the battery lower so it gives me more space.

Bahahha, when i had my CRX i wrapped a face cloth around the intake and zip tied it in place... ahh good times. Scared the crap outta me when the intake grounded against it one time, nearly **** my pants
