Well I got the Petit duct so no more fresh air for the battery... Do you recommend I:
A: Fab a duct? or B: Move it to the rear bins? |
I'd move it.

Yeah... I think I might do that... Open's up the engine bay too....

Cool... I think I'll be buying a relocation kit soon.

All you need is a miata battery from Track Auto and a 4 guage power cable about 6 feet long.
Oh and a dremel to cut the bin out some. |
FD3 isn't the miata battery a wetcell? I heard it wasn't a good idea to keep them in the cabin. I haven't looked into it though-just accepted the word on the street. I installed a FMIC and put the miata battery in the engine compartment. It was a very VERY close fit. I haven't vented it and noticed the cross memeber under the battery tray has some corrosion. It was a bit rusted before installing the battery, but now it looks much worse. If I had it to do over (and I probably will eventually) I'd buy a dry cell and mount it in the bins. The miata battery ran me $84 so it's not much of a bargin either.

get a sealed one, or you need a box with a vent to the outside. the miata batteries are no longer gel cells, so get something else
