Oh and for the battery relocation, i think the reason everyone puts it in the storage bin is because, the farther you move it, the bigger the guage wire you need.
Thick guage wire can be expensive.

Hey some people have coffee cans as mufflers, so you had better hope it's your charcoal can.lol.
hehe umm this is a rx7 forum not a honda one right "my exhaust tip is as wide as i am tall and i like to eat rice and shove long sharp objects into my rectum" hehe
back to the subject i know most people put the battery in the storage bins but i have plans to put subs in there.
and removing the (i guess charcol canister) what does it connect to and what if anything do i have to plug off.

It's one of those batteries. The Hawker Genesis. I didn't bring the RX-7 with me today, so it's not out in the parking lot. I will get the exact model number when I get home from work later on today and post it, as well as where I bought it.

Ok, here is the battery description:
Hawker 12 Volt/16 Ah 0769-2007 SLA - Genesis (G16EP) Sealed Lead Acid Battery
The actual model is the Hawker G16EP. The Price is $69.95, but if you order from http://www.portablepower.com and use the coupon code VMAX, you'll get 10% off. I dug up that VMAX coupon on a motorcycle website or something, tried it, and it worked.
It has started my RX-7 perfectly every time.
There's only one catch. The battery terminals are not standard car terminals. They are threaded holes and it comes with bolts that will fit in, so you need either something similar to a ring lug to screw down, or a battery terminal adapter. I happened to dig up an unused battery terminal designed for that type of battery in a friend's garage, and I am using that. I think you can buy the adapters from http://www.summitracing.com. You could probably go to an auto parts store and find the different terminals that will bolt down.

PS. If you look at the dimensions, it's much smaller, and you'll have to find a good way to secure it. I'm just bending some aluminum that I'll bolt onto the existing tray to hold it.
