Long, long time no post... How is everyone?
I've made some progress on the car and recently removed the rusty battery tray and stand with the intention of relocating the battery to the front. I know I've seen write ups on this, but can't for the life of me find any of them. I've purchased an affordable kit from Summit so I have the main parts. I'm just hung up on what the correct thing to do with the original mess of wires that attach to the positive side of the battery in the engine compartment. Thanks. -Aaron |

I all ready have a "red top". The car will be a weekend toy with (hopefully) plenty of AX and DE.

Cost-to-benefit ratio...How much is a compact Odyssey (or Optima for that matter)? Around $130. How much time and money would you wind up spending to relocate the battery to the front of the car? I recall Brant's philosophy on weight reduction, and I think it's a good one. If it costs less than $50/lb to shed the weight, it's worth it. $130 to shed 20 lbs? That works out to $6.50 a lb... Just food for thought... -Josh2 |
