I don't know thats just the one Summit Kit comes with. But I mean it seemed to work ok because of how I put the bolts in it. And I'm trying to clean out the engine so I have less things to take out when I put in a ZC. I already ripped out my A/C.

Nice and clean looking. I would go to a different grounding location though. That is not a true ground but a welded ground.

Your site was one of the sites posted when I asked how to do this a while back. So yeah besides mounting the other stuff is pretty much the same I guess. Mine went into a Hatch though, not sure if that makes any real difference.

anyone know how bad having a regular(interstate) battery in the back with no box? I don't know if its a sealed battery or not either... I read somewhere that the fumes are toxic. My battery is already in the rear when I got the car, what can I do?(I dont want to get another battery as this one is new) will a battery box work?

I hope you plan on acutally mounting the battery to the body. If you rear end someone, that battery will fly out of that box and hit you in the back of the head.
