Relocating Battery
Is there a write-up of relocating the battery to where th ABS pump is? Or could you post some good picks so I can get an idea of where to go with it?

thanks

There's a reason why the battery is NOT located near the hot exhaust by design.

What is the point of relocating the battery? Is it just a minor weight distribution thing for track/race cars, or is there any benefit for mostly street driven cars?
