    Default Battery Relocation

    Looking to put the battery in a different location and wanted to see if someone knows a shop that can make a battery relocation box to mount the battery in the area in the picture

    It makes zero sense to put the battery there. It's basically the same location as stock, except not in the engine bay. There's no box surrounding it to protect it... I imagine that your insurance company will be thrilled when a 5mph tap of a pole turns into a flaming explosion.

    Why do you want it there? 99% of battery relocations are to the trunk/rear of the car or the middle, which helps with weight distribution. Even if you're shaving your engine bay so you want it relocated for purely aesthetic reasons, put it in the trunk so it's protected.

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    This thread is fail.

    Lets take a heavy object and put it in the worst possible place on the car for weight distribution.


    I have an alternate location for you. Duct tape it to the roof.

    Still no reason to put it there. So he puts thousands of dollars into a show car, and then gets to sit and watch it all burn and die when he catches a bad ground because of a rogue piece of gravel? Or he has to take off his front bumper to get a jumpstart or disconnect the battery, which is mandatory in indoor shows?

    Seriously, OP. Put it in the trunk.

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    i imagine if they did it like this from the factory that they have a different battery and some kind of protection around it to prevent it from blowing up in a 10mph hit

    not to mention, i doubt this civic is really a show car...i'm 90% certain this will be his daily

    What are you talking about? When a civic is disassembled for more than 3 months, it automatically becomes a show car with a baller build planned.

    only reason i can think of why d16 turbo would mount it there, is cause its out of the way, and not the famous place of the trunk.

    i mean, shit i have my battery relocated underneath my dash.
    is that a problem?
    i can still get to it with easy.

    I prefer it in the TRUNK! alot easier than a TIGHT squeez in your dash or under FENDER!

    If I EVER were to need a jump its alot easier for that person to pull up to the REAR of the car like most of the time they do, then to pull around U turn to the front...

    AND it just looks cleaner for my TUCK!!
