I was looking at everyones car at J.A.E. and looking at ways people had achieved a cold air feed to their induction kits.
A lot of the cars I had seen seemed to have plenty of room even though most of their bays were filled up, at least if that was the case their filters were at the front and at least shielded pretty well as standard.
The battery relocation was an excellent thought although it requires long heavy cables run to the back, it is pretty simple to do.
Even those with big batteries had plenty of room, it seems it is just us with this problem.
Ideas were chucked around about using a smaller battery which is fine.. until you have cold weather and it doesn't have the power to start the car or you leave a little 10 watt interior light on for 20 minutes the battery would go flat.
I've got a huge battery in my car and we looked at ways of possibly rotating it but it is still too big, so I'm looking into moving the battery to the boot.
Just thought I'd post this picture as it made me laugh, caught it on camera at J.A.E. I can't believe it starts this car, and looking at the rest of the car, it had also been modified quite a bit.. christ knows how this battery can start the engine..
It's a Nissan S13 200SX
