Battery Relocation Cleanup
Battery Relocation Cleanup Here's some new pics of my setup up front. I took the measly factory ground off, and made a new one out of 2 ga wire. I also ran the wire differently.
OLD SETUP:
NEW SETUP
In the last pic, you can kinda see the catch can that I installed. I couldn't stand to see that ugly battery tray there anymore, so I deleted it and installed a Jaz catch can down below where the tray was. It's bolted through the inner fenderwell, and mounted quite well. Here's two more pics...
Here's the only downside... You can see the catch can through the foglight hole, if the lighting is right. I had to get the camera to flash to see it. Otherwise, it's invisible.
Questions and comments are welcome.

I like that... can the catch can be painted you think? I'd just want to paint it so there's not a big red thign sitting in there... wouldnt' match the rest of my car LOL.
I'm planning on replacing my battery with a LW odyssey one, but keep it up front, I figure that would save more weight then moving to the rear, and I wouldn't hav eto go thru all that nhra safety stuff for a battery in the trunk... make life alot easier. Not sure how I'm gonna mount it yet, maybe on teh batery tray laying on it's side.. gotta get the battery and pull everything out, and see what would be the easiest way to mount it securly.

Well then, there's a simple solution! Do you have the part # for that thing? I"ll pick one up next time I have to order soemthing from Jegs. A good pic of how you mounted it would be good too.
Thanks!

If you guys want closer pics of anything, just ask.
