What is this?

I received this today. First one to guess what it is gets a swift kick in the buttocks.

 

jumper cables/winter kit

 

that was my guess

 

nope

 

a battery box

 

ding ding ding. come over for your kick. nice guess. battery relocation to be exact.

its actually a pretty good deal from summit. comes with everything you need to relocate and mount.

 

a battery relocation kit

 

I was looking at the same kit this week, I was allmost going to order it. I think I still might.

 

How did you post before me, I guess I type slow

 

order it, if you want i can wait to install and we can do a group install at your place when we come up.

 

hehe, i should have loked earlier, that was an easy guess. although those SWIX stickers threw me off for a bit

 

I will order it, if you want to wait until you come up you can put it in then. There will be pleanty room in the garage to do it

 

i'll wait. i'm in no hurry.

 

Sweet. Just curious why one would want to relocate the battery to the rear? More room yeah, but for what?

 

Why do you have LF8? its 15 degrees out?! lol

 

I heard once that it is easier to get to the plugs without the battery there, also the battery will maintain a more consistent temp in the trunk. The amount of heat a WRX engine creates in the engine compartment is tough on them. Heat is much worse for batteries then the cold is.

But that is just what I heard/ my opinion

 

I need to relocate mine to the rear so I can put in a bigger tank for my alcohol injection

 

yes you are right, weight distribution and getting the battery out of the crush zone are my main to reasons.


as for the LF8, i was out of it. i already have 4-7

 

better weight distribution.

 

you use it for cross country or...........?
