My mechanic made the custom battery tray and it bolts to two holes in that area that are plugged up used as wire holders, just pluck them out and it'll take 10mm bolts. The small motorcycle battery works fine no problems. Hella light. If your interested in battery bracket hit up nosh2289crx@aol.com. Lates.

 

nice job!!

 

how much does the setup cost? and are there any problems with using a motorcycle battery?

does it drain faster?

 

I'd assume that battery won't tkae a liking to daily driving much... turning the car on and off will really take a toll...

 

looks good i had a riding lawnmower batt on my old car ( a bit bigger then a motorcycle one) it was sweet for daily driving etc. but sucked serious *** if you had a stereo.

Im sticking qwith my stock sized one. maybe itll fit down there?

anyways killer install looks dope.

 

yeah, thats what i thought.

 

Royal-
are you using midnight performance's camber arm for the EF?...

Actually it runs great. I have no battery drain problems. Got a Clifford alarm and it'll run all night and day. My stereo works fine. I could turn it on and a bunch of times. As long as you have an alternator that works the energy will be put back fine. But, if your running an amp, it may not be that efficient when your asking for a lot of power at once for beat. But for daily driving, you can't tell a difference in loss. I didn't get the camber plates, I don't care about my camber, hehe. The traction bar I do have though. WuHung -

 

How much is this battery and bracket... Im interested.

 

well from what i can see in the pics its a 12v 18~19 amp hour sealed lead acid battery. retail on something like that is around $60. remember this is SEALED that means you could even put it in your trunk if you're up to running cables back there. and yes, i worked for batteries plus for 3 years.

 

i'll also add its considered a deep cycle batter so that means if you leave your lights on it will charge right back up again unlike some car batteries where if they're picky they'll never charge again after being fully discharged.

 

friggin sweet! Im gonna do that to my first gen!!! exactly how big is that battery? measurement-wise...?

 

The tray is $99 and battery is $65. It's a Centennial battery. My bad, it's not a motorcycle battery, it's a special app. I don't have the dimensions but I'll try to get it and also try to put up more pics. Contact 916-852-6887, or nosh2289crx@aol.com if your interested or for information. Peace!

 

the dimensions should be 7.02 x 2.96 x 6.51 inches. it will weigh about 13 lbs. many companies make the same battery so as long as you get a 12v 18ah battery you'll be fine regardless of the maker. beware though, as i'm sure it wouldnt quite have enough power to start on a really cold day depending on where you live. hope this helps.

 

i say put it in the trunk ... it would be alot easier to replace it and it is alot simple to run wires..

 

I already had it in the trunk before and I got shitted on at the race track, if you have the battery relocated there, they want and external on/off switch which is bs! So I had to put it back to the front and there's not much room with b-series swaps in the CRX. And as for wiring, you know how much 4 gauge costed to run to the back the first time around??? Like 8ft or whatever. When went small battery front I used less than 1 ft for power and a ground. Can't beat that.

 

that kit doesn't look like it would leave room for a CAI

 

the less wire the better still looking sweet

 

you can get a normal sized battery to rest on the crossmember as well. my friend jeromy has his there, but i still prefer my location.

 

Damn thats a lot of money for me to spend on that! I know it would be way cheaper just to relocate the stock battery to the back. Anywayz.. killer set up... if i had the money i would do it that way. ::Thumbsup::

 

Hey your radiator hose is ribbed. Is that for her pleasure?
