All of the pics including some of s4 gauge cluster..
It's an odyssey PC680 non-spillable lead acid battery, ~15LBS.
I found these nice terminal connectors at a local car audio shop, and they're really light too. Not sure what they're made out of, but the way they are assembled is what sold me, pretty bulletproof design. The connectors are from lightningaudio (http://www.lightningaudio.com) but I can't find the parts on their site. The part number for the positive one is SBXSP-4/8. I don't have the negative one on hand... might be visible in pics. I used 4 AWG. The battery is going on the floor behind the passenger seat.
the gauge cluster had to come out so I could fix my oil pressure gauge, also investigating what tweaks can be made on the tachometer.
and now the teaser:

Are you driving the car yet, or still ironing out details?

Its nice when you take the time to do things right, when I was younger
and had no patience my projects would usually be limited because I had
to drive the car. Then you realize part of the fun is doing the work and having a job you can be proud of. All your hard work should pay off with a reliable and good running car.
