Battery Relocation
buy a battery tray (got mine from summit for $38), power wire, ground wires. i kept my stock cables in place so i can move the battery back if i need to. i just attached a power wire to the stock positive cable with a nut/bolt, and ran the wire to the trunk where the battery now is. i attached a ground cable to the negative cable up front, and grounded it to the frame (engine ground). i grounded the battery in the back to the frame. thats pretty much the idea. if you want, you can make some kind of cover to hide the wires up front.
its a great mod to do tho with weight off the front, and looks so much better w/ the open space.

its prob the cheapest way to go about it as well. but theres so many people on here that would prob called it ghetto or rigged. thing is, it saved me coin and the car starts perfectly every time. the mess is completely covered up

I'm working on mine tomorrow..the only thing I could find was 6ga Wire in an Amp Kit to run from the back to the front. I'm mounting the Battery more in the center, pretty much on the right side of the Trunk area.
I'll post pics..

Here's the start..
Did the wiring under the Hood. I used some 6ga Wire from an Amp Kit. It's got an In-line Fuse, I'm going to put a 100A Fuse in it when I'm done. This actually comes in handy too..I don't have to disconnect the Battery to do work, just pop out the Fuse..

Kyle, Very nice job! Looks clean as can be up front there
Carlos; Dude, you got great ideas. Catch can in the rear....That's friggin great! I woulda never thought of that and it looks like it was a pretty easy setup. Does it work well? I may just have to throw that one in on both of our cars as well. How's that saying go....Immitation is the sincerest form of flatery

If you relocate the battery to the rear of the car. The battery needs to be a dry cell type or if you use a wet cell battery you will need to make a panel to seal the rear compartment off from the drivers area.
