battery relocation, again ..??

[sweelt]

oops...my blurry image reflect by fender :flute:
i did check battery drain test too. since not yet do tidying job. Around 0.9++ mA from my meter. With car alarm ON.

 

[DanzEterna]

battery does emit fumes, so u need some ventilation.

 

[sweelt]

Yes, bro danz. I have that in plan too.

Balik pulau road nice....mid way can stop at big water reservoir...
Feel planted, and I not kaki corner....but once a while hantam also. Ftuned price also not bad.
I ask halfcut for tein, 3.5 - 4k. Walao...plus service, big hole on wallet.
Actual is spring rate....if have correct rate, will be easy on the shocks.
One thing, always play with dampening setting.
Crawl loh...Ftuned using inverted monotube.
Again, I should join ZTH earlier.... Hahahaha..

How's the road condition at balik pulau? What kinda speed one can be averaging there? yeah f-tuned really caught my attention, did you went back to fine tune on the damper valving or one shot got it right?

 

[lsm1991]

His is because he mod engine bay with piping, no place for battery. If your engine bay can accommodate the battery leave it there, or you can do a heat shield for the battery

Usually is hydrogen and as mentioned need to ventilate because hydrogen is flammable

One shot right...susah loh.
Crawl many tims dy, hahaha....
At the end have to compensate some lobang...no stock comfort.

Balik pulau road, lots of corner. But not empty road...I don want to jungle rally with wira.
Scenery is nice, yeah..

temporary put everything in, to get clear picture for final detailing.
I also get some tube and fitting, foc, hahaha...it seems that battery have 2 vent hole.
Too messy, i think. Will get enclose box at tesco / aeon later. Make venting tube, quite a challenge.

Don flame lahhh....i know very dirty. Phase by phase detailing. :vroam:


at last i learn how to put pictures and comment....:flute:

 

[marsha1l_v6]

nice bro..doing the same thing..batt at my rear.. looking forward for some inspiration from you, rear ventilation. For now, every now and then, i just open up my boot

 

[kurt_629]

does battery relocation to the rear, really helps with the car weight distribution?

why always on the right and not the centre?

 

[sweelt]

weight distribution ? applied for race car or sports car kut.
i only see good spot with no interruption for stuffs.
My case, is engine bay fit with new intercooler piping, battery interrupted my bonnet closing.

Why not used the rectangle metal battery holder?

battery relocation, name is easy...time to source parts very slow.

Ah! Ok! not fully done yet. I saw all cable tie nicely thought that was it.....hahhahaha

 

[kurt_629]

actually, apart from prolonging the battery life if were to place at rear.

it also did help the weight distribution, I read that in some sites, thought you guys know the pros

weight distribution, sikit shj... anyway as to why its placed on one side, easy..
i)space saving (real awkward in the middle)
ii)cable saving (shorter cable used = less money spent on cables!)
iii)practicality (best spot id probably in the spare tyre well if it fits, lower + centre but.... comeon i think im the only idiot traveling with no spare)

not only you, I am wondering why I need a spare tyre..
since my pcd is totally different.
spare is 4 holes while current is 5 holes.

any idea which spare tyre can clear a 4 pot brake kit?
5 holes only.

ohhhh u pun sama.... im not sure what issues u face but...
what 4 pots are you using? gto/aristo 4 pots? or..... brembos.......... some not very thick... no issue

these are my issues
-bbk, so yeah clearance is an issue
-my car has a wheel well for a space saver tyre so yeah, not exactly deep
-original space saver does not clear callipers
-went out to look for space savers which do... (there are some models with extra wide brake clearances, look weird as heck) some honda's have em, subaru sti's and evos do as well (check the centre whatucallit hole thing clearance tho)
-^yay they fit over the calipers.... but dammit, they dont fit the boot .... so this is why i do advise people to reconsider bbk's (so check boot space clearance too)

in your case.... i think the perdana can carry a full size tyre? so dont think its an issue for u.....
my case, i think i have to just stick with my standard spare and just get an extra thick spacer to clear the brakes
