Thanx man. The battery is actually directly behind the passenger side seat. Put it there to make it easier to disconnect if I need to. Eventually I will invest in a smaller race battery and make a custom bracket to hold it in place. If you look closely at some of the pics you can kinda see it.

Yea it's almost like having a battery on/off switch. Except I have a quick release battery terminal so I can quickly get it off if I need to since it's easy to reach.

Word! I see it hiding in there now! That's a good idea because it kinda centralizes its location, so you can route power to anything

A few things had to be cleaned up but the finished results were posted on page one of this thread. Huge thanks to My girl Kathy, her father, and her engine builder for helping me finish this project. Without these three this build would still be sitting. Hope you all enjoyed. Stay tuned for more pics once the summer comes back around. Thank you :vtec:

Nice man.
I like progression type of posts. So who did you port and polish head?
do you plan on upgrading your manifold?
I'll be updating mine tomorrow I'm going to my car to try and finish up getting it ready to move to my brothers shop to finish everything.

The head was done by my engine builder Larry at Pro-Motion Race Engines located in East Hanover NJ. The guy does insane work. He does everything himself. A one man team. As far as the manifold goes I would like to upgrade it at some point. I leaning towards the Skunk2 Ultra series manifold and paired up with a 70mm TB and Drag Cartel cams. but that'll be later on. I'm happy with the power the car makes now and I'm spinning through 1st, 2nd, (pretty much non existant) lol and a lil in 3rd so I dunno if its even worth it. lol I guess time will tell. Keep me posted when you post up new pics.

i will man i updated the "progression post" with new goodies. and tomorrow ill have current pics of my car
