hickster Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Thats a good link noodels, lots of info. Just to be clear obviously don't bother to buy a Spoon battery , but would be a good idea to go for a gel type (eg Tegiwa sell Odyssey for about £100, or you can get cheaper unbranded ones if you look around). There should not be any drop off in performance- lead acid batteries are a pretty victorian level of technology and you don't want one flying around you boot in a crash.

ryan.. Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 you must have a sealed gel battery anyway as its in the car. Lead acid ones vent so you will be breathing in toxic fumes. You will need imo at least 45+ah and cca of 400+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyekye09 Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 prob about £250+ just there Or,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,just leave it and get other things sorted i was wanting an easy mod to do in the garage while we have this white stuff falling from the sky think you could be right might do the camer arms and get a geo done instead so far i need 4.5m of 0awg battery connectors 2x 150amp fuses distrubution block fused battery tray(do i bolt in or weld in...????) and a gel battery anything else......?????? why does all my cheap mods start hurting my pockets....????? Find a scrapyard with an MX5 they have their batteries in the boot as standard and use the parts from that the mx5 is about 3 foot to short what bmw's can i hack up...???? i think i remember my old e30 having a battery in the boot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hickster Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Find a rear engined car with the battery in the front- then fit in reverse! I think you need to add cutoff switch to your list. If you just go for a gel battery in the original position to start with you would get a lot of the effect for less hassle, then wait for better weather before pulling out the carpets and trim to do the full job.
