Thats easy chris. Buy car parts. The faster you go or the better your car looks the less people pay attention to what you're wearing.

Awesome stuff Brian. I must admit I am more than a tidbit jealous. Hopefully I'll join you come the fall months.

I need to look as good as my car at all times :cool:

I also hate brian for all the sweet goodies he's getting. But I thank god it's getting nice out, cuz I want rides in it too to convince me to buy sweet stuff.
 
What type pf 3L are you going to build? I would actually like to drive some 3Ls in different configurations. But I guess I would have to go to some meets for that.
 
Brian,
I'm glad my pipes went to a good place! I wish I could have used em. The SeVT is going to be ridiculous!

after reviewing and trying to follow the debates I am going with a ported 3L. So 3L block with 3L heads, and the rest will be SVT components. This has great top end and over the manifold debate adding boost makes it negligable. I rode in Reebs ported 3L turbo and it performed very well.

hybrid make good power also but are not good for boost. And I don't like how a straight 3L looks/runs. I like secondaries. So the ported 3L is pretty easy to build.

Now I want to relocate my battery just to have some extra room.

its not bad at all, it took me a few days but I wasn't trying to get it done to fast. what also took longer is I ran the cable in the interior of the car. So I had to pull the rear seat bottom and the drivers seat to get the trim out. you could run it under the car and be done quicker but I didn't want to run it that way .... if I had sub frame connectors on the car already and not sitting beside it I could have done it pretty easily.

watch out through ... I used about 20 or so feet of 0 guage cable and it currently run around $7~$10 a foot :eek:
 
I didn't have to pull out my seats to run the wire under the trim. I unscrewed the trim and the wires slid under. However, I was using 8g wire...Maybe it isn't possible with 0 haha.

um, yeah, not going to happen with 0 guage, 4 was a pain to tuck under the trim also ... and to get all the the screws out of the trim I had to pull the seat, make it easier as those stupid plastic screws strip out to easily. besides I put the wire on top of the door sills, so it is actually next to the weather stripping.
 
Yeah I'd have to look at what you mean. Like I said, I got all the screws out without taking out me seats (had to move the front ones a bit to fit a ratchet w/ bit), and the trim just kind of pulls out from under the rear seat and bends back, and I just tucked it in. My remote wire is right next to it actually.
 
That relocation looks beautiful :drool: but that zero gauge wire sounds crazy expensive!

I discovered that my positive battery cable's insulation cracked so bad it was held together by electrical tape. Maybe instead of just fixing it I should relocate :)

if you buy cable by itself yeah it is expensive. getting a kit makes it better ... look at summit if your interested and then add a distribution block and your good to go.
