total cost:- cheaper than a tuning company lol
lol

need to fit a shroud to it.

its not moving anywhere...to large bolts to go through the middle.. crude, but does the trick.

I like that and I want one :P Is it a pain re routing all the wires though? Where do you route it to? Where do you get the welders wire?

I bet theres much more space in the front though?

lots more space in the front...have to do it for the chargecooler and piping...but going to do the same as this with the hybrid.

Where did you route the wires then? Under the car?

i have yet to route the wires yet,

however.. it will be going through a hole in the bulk head, under the n/s door trim in to the boot.. The extra wire is crimped and heat shrunk on to the existing starter/loom wire then routed through accordingly...

i have for sale:

1 x battery tray
2 x j bolts
1 x clamp

£15 posted

im working on the wiring..i got mine off a mate.. will try and source some...

right , fao bass direct :

i have worked out how to connect the battery up.. there are 2 ways...

1) crimp m8 ring terminals on the relevant wiring and fix to the starter motor live feed terminal...

2) use m8 terminals and join them all together using a bolt and heat sleeving.. i will post a pic to illustrate.


Todays major mod is:

Windscreen washer system relocation.... Will fit anywhere with car.. can even use a totally reduced in size washer bottle..quality..pics to follow

You need to cover that or get a gell battery, because they give off fumes.
