Anyone know if there is a kit to move the battery to the one of the storage containers in the FD?. Has anyone done this or have any other ideas for getting the battery out of the engine bay?

 

Yes.

 

Great! Thanks!

 

Heh.

You didn't even bother looking at RX-7 Store, didya?

I dont use RX7-store for anything. I had a very bad experience.

The m2 kit is way to expensive IMO. I did mine for less than $100 including the battery price. I got the battery, cut the bottom of the passenger side bin out, ran 2 guage wire, drilled through the floor board, mounted the battery, hooked everything up, and now you can't tell unless you open the bin or the hood

 

Dont' forget that you have to go with a sealed battery when you put it in the cabin.

 

opps, sorry about posting the link again. for some reason that post didn't show up for me when I posted

 

Yup did my own relocation for under $200 **INCLUDING** a new optima red top battery.

Thank you guys for tips, appreciate it.

 

garfinkle did one for a man in georgia ,he ran the hot wire through the fire wall area where there was a hole with a gromit from the factory then into the rocker panel then to the rear quarter into the storage box.No drilling in the floor , a clean and protected place for the wire.

 

I just bought a lighter smaller battery from pepboys. weighted half and really holds a charge. thanks!
