Some bling bling that can sting.
I'm sure I'll be able to see it in person soon as we're only across the bay from one another.

Battery Relocation
Someone asked me to show some pics, so I will note what I did.
I found it cheaper to buy a Summit Battery Relocation kit then to buy just the wire from my local auto parts store. I did not used the black battery case, it is to tall for the lid to close. Still, even though I did not use it in the kit, the kit as cheaper than buying JUST the cable at my local store.
I cut out a piece of plywood and plcaed that under the battery tray. Bolted it through the underbody. I bought a 100amp breaker from the local stereo shop. Mounted it to the side of the bin. Grounded the negative to the chassis.
Then I ran the HOT cable through the other side of the bin, added a splitter for things like a amp, and the Fuel Pump Relay mod as decribed on 1300ccpro.com?
Ran the Hot under the wood shield.
Drilled through the firewall right below the Clutch.
Used a rubber groment to protect the shielding. The bit I used is at the bootm of the page.
Rand the Hot down the wall and then bought the splitter from some stereo shop online. Ran it up to the Terminal Relocation so I would have a positive to work with in the engine bay. The BMW's are like this. My ladies battery is in the rear under the passenger seat. That is where I got this idear...
Also ran re-ran the hots that go to the Main Fuse box. You dont see the negative hooked up, but I cut it at the adapter that mounts it to the Body. You will see it on yours.
Close up of terminal - bought it at Jegs
The bit I used - Short, universal, and easy to use. Got it at OSH.
Hope that helps.

Wastegate porting, Turbo Blanket, and BeCool wrap.
I had the waistgate ported at a place here in Livermore called Valley Machine. Great f'n people. They also do great alluminum welding. Highly recomended.

BeCool wrap

Runing the IC now. Getting my BOV welded on at the moment. I will run lots of ducting to force the air through the rad channel.<br>
