    The amazing disappearing battery trick!

    After my lil car fire, I decided that now would be a good time to relocate and fuse my battery. I am almost done, just have to install and secure the battery box and voila!









    200A fused.

    Yay, time for a CAI. Read the Post, he doesn't have the box in or secured yet.

    Yes, using 4 gauge wire. The deal for the CAI didn't go through, however I wanted to relocate anyway.

    As for the fire...

    Started a bit of a flame, not too big. Smoke EVERYWHERE! Fsckin cheap ass aftermarket starters.

    I intend to get a CAI, will have to look around for a deal.

    hey not sure what your intentions are but run a second hot wire from your battery to the strater and hook it up to a starter solenoid in the trunk also so the wires only got juice when in start mode. Its required for tracks and looks alot cleaner. less to worry about also since youve been BURNED already once before. get it BURNED
