Battery Relocation
Hello fellow Rotor-Heads.......
I'm in the middle of putting my car back together and was wondering if doing a battery relocation is a good idea? and is it really that hard to do? thanks a lot and have a merry christmas or happy holidays.
Regards, Matt

There is one more thing you need to think about when doing the battery relocation. At least in Az if you drag race, when moving a battery away from "in front of the driver" or out from under the hood, you need to have an on/off switch mounted on your back bumper. You may not have to worry about it where your at, but it made me put mine back up front, and I went with a smaller battery. It fit fine. And I still have the room to put in a fmic.

Another good idea is to add a fuse or circuit breaker to the positive side near the terminal. If you don't, a short during an accident or other mishap will cause a fire.
