Moved the battery to the boot, so I can directly wire the amps and to create space for the new cold air box ;)

Thanks :)

You mean the pocket on the passenger side of the boot? Where you can open the cover and there is an elastic strap that goes across?

That's for the fire extinguisher ;)

Sup Don!

Optima was sources a year ago through Paul Money Car Audio for $400 brand new. However if you're looking for one I can find a second hand one for you for abit cheaper.

All wiring size is 1ga. Pull some of the sheilding off so that just the wire is exposed and pop into Super Cheap Auto or Repco and find a pack of lugs. They usually come in packs of 2 or 4. Trimming down the wire abit may help. And sometimes the sheilding on the outside of the wire may give it the illusion it's alot thicker than what it actually is :)

Not as of yet. The airbox is one piece and is powder coated in black. Removing the headlight for drag strip days will ram a **** load of air into that spot. I'll sort something out for daily driving, like having some sort of duct that -LegnumVR4- did :)

I'll probably get a hood like yours. But paint it before putting it on the car ;)
