he laughed and said no fuses on race cars.

That there is a great quote.



Yeah, I would recommend the fuse also, too many stories of batteries terminating prematurely from that.

i saw this guy's car catch fire at a practice drift day because he had a metal relocation box, first the postive cable wrapped itself around a steering colum, causing it to slice itself open on the METAL relocation box and ground out sparking like crazy and lighting the sorrounding carpting on fire.

The reason it's getting relocated to the boot, is so there is more room in the engine bay for all the goodies i have install for the na vert https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png



I think i'll do something similiar to that diagram.



Thanks for all the help yankies and aboots!!!

oh cause taking 50 lb from the front of your car...and moving it to the middle doesnt change the weight of the car













but you arent a big guy on having a balanced car are ya? with taht big heavy inline 6






Noooo, because you can go out and buy a dry cell battery that weighs like 8 lb. And save alot of useless work. It just seems like a pointless "mod" to do, when you can get the same effect with less work.

Those small batteries suck for street cars. Yes I have had one, they take extra long to crank the engine and like to die out real quick. J9 also recently got rid of his in the 20b...
