if you're gonna do it

[MakotoS13]

do it right. i decided a long time ago that the battery is goin in the trunk. a couple days ago i ordered the taylor battery relocation kit from summitracing.com.

http://www.makotoseven.com/240/level1/batbox.jpg

the kit includes everything needed. 2 gauge cable, rubber gromets, good solid parts, and a case that looks more pimp than hell. some people wanted to know about the quality and i gotta say for 112 its a good deal.

Looks badass to me.... A+!!!!

So, what kinda battery you gonna put in it?

You guys just blew your money on crap.

You can buy a plate, a piece of wire, and terminals for less than $20. Those boxes are great for a non-sealed, ventable battery, but for anything else it's just bling. No purpose.

[S14DB]

A lot of sanctioning bodies require a vented box.

It's also for crash protection too.

[wootwoot]

I dare you to paint your valve cover red.

to race at a track i was under the impression that a box of some sort is required to contain the battery whether its a gel cell or not. since the marine battery boxes look like butt i decided to just go all the way.

hotrod TV told me to and hell yes it is bling.

woot- hell no, i'm painting the rest of the engine parts black to match the current look

igsdan- that has always been a long term goal. by the time i get around to it i'll have tons of work done on the car and kits will be more readily available.

[Drunk Bastard]

makoto - batt box looks cool. take lots of pics of the install. i'll be doing this to my s14 eventually and could use a good reference. :hsdance:

[blu808]

Contrary to popular belief. A vented box is req even if you are running a sealed battery.

Thats the one i use, and it will fit anything from a half, to full size battery. Good stuff.

[MakotoS13]

Ah. I did not know Makato's plans to race the car.

i'm sure it'll wander onto a track here and there ;)

^^^ lol. . in yo FACE!!!! XAXAXA sucka!

[holisticbeatz]

Thats fucking awesome Makoto! I think you're onto something. "If you're gunna do it, do it right." Spoken like a true genius..

Everybody.. Thank Makoto for turning this forum into a fucking CarDomain site.

[SimpleSexy180]

^^^ Laff :)

[S14DB]

Everybody.. Thank Makoto for turning this forum into a fucking CarDomain site.
:confused: :wtf: :werd:

[MakotoS13]

i can only guess that his implication is that im a ricer but i must disagree. if i were posting pics of a flat black fastback with meshies and cheap coilovers with aspirations of SR20 ownership THEN perhaps i could be confused with cardomain's calibur of users.

[420sx]

soo..... whats wrong with cardomain??? are you on drugs?? whats your major malfunction scumbag?

[Salty_X]

I think his point is that not everybody cares about Makoto's Latest Purchase(tm).
Maybe if it was an install thread it would be cool, but a picture of a battery box doesn't really help anyone...

[420sx]

^^^ so.... what exactly is forum for?

[Ian]

i'd like to see this box in the car because i want to relocate my battery and i dont quite know how to do it

[Salty_X]

^^^ so.... what exactly is forum for?
Flaming people and chicks with big boobs?

Personally I think it should have more stuff like this (http://www.zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=77192) (ie how-to's and q&a).

[MakotoS13]

okay you got me. i never intended on putting it in the car. fuggin hell, owned. i was just gonna show pictures of it on the internet to people so i could be cool and maybe get some more friends to play D&D with on all those lonely saturday nights.

i dont have the car right now, it'll be back in a few days, and you guys will have a how to with lots of colorful photos for future reference.

[Ian]

oh thank god


i need colorful photos or i cant do the install

[MakotoS13]

its okay, im sure you'll manage.

[S14DB]

Can you make an instructional video for me and host it?

[MakotoS13]

i think that might be a tad excessive.

[smellslikecurry]

can u drive cross country and do it in my driveway so i can watch excatly how you did it while i video tape and then can you walk me through it while i do it to my car?
