Question Battery Sizing Question..

I just installed a Greddy M-Spec IC and was wondering if anyone on here has retained a battery in the engine bay with this IC?
I really am not looking to relocate the battery to the rear as the local tracks around here are strict about relocated batteries. (cut off switch and mounting rules)
Pics and specs would help if you were able to retain it .

Thanks

Thanks.
How did you mount it?
Did you make a tray or bought one already made.

i just followed the instruction from Greddy and cut up my stock tray, then used the supplied bracket to hold the J hooks.

you should just bite the bullet and relocate it. it cleans up the engine bay significantly.

I know it looks alott better with the battery relocated, my 1st Gen has been relocated,BUT the local tracks have certain requirements that must be met with a battery relocation that I just don't want to hassle with.

Yup, that is the reason why I am going to move it back into the engine bay.
