[QUOTE="Izso, post: 1064457478, member: 2429"] Pros : It lightens the front out (quite significant if you have a sensitive butt like mine) and distributes the weight to the back quite nicely. More space for forced induction goodies. :biggrin: Cons : You need to have a relocator kit and the wires used need to be industrial grade. Otherwise one fine day you'll find that you can't start up the car. The other thing is the battery will release fumes, you may or may not realize it. So you need to have a properly done box to seal it up and it takes up boot space. Costs depends on quality of materials used. The sample I saw in my friends car - he used 0 gauge cables which were something like RM50 per meter and about 5m was used. The relocation kit costs something like RM300 then the custom made aluminum box about RM200. Then the spare battery used to jump start his car after a month of using this setup another RM200. Then money spent on getting those orange industrial cables and a bigger alternator about RM400 all in. So yeah.. it's not exactly expensive but do it right the first time and it won't burn a hole in your pocket :biggrin: That's bloody interesting! But I have a feeling those caps won't be able to last long with the constant charging and discharging, and normally our voltage doesn't maintain constant, it jumps with a 1 to 2 variance so that inconsistent power will wear out these caps even faster. I guess racing application would be awesome, but for a daily drive I wouldn't risk using this. [/QUOTE]
