recovering from last night? You weren't at the Chosen Sons Blow Roast, were you? :p

[shorestiva]

Nope Brew River and then Monkey Barrel in bury. It was my buddies bday.

[shorestiva]

Finished the main wiring. Just have to do the stuff for the MS add ons. Also bolted the trans on.






Trying to decide on battery placement.

[freshtiva]

Nice ! I guess you've ruled out an under seat tray ?

[resuwrecked]

i had dual underseat trays, but i threw them away, just extra weight...

[Damkid]

Personally i'm not sure i'd like having a battery under my seat, but if thats what works on your project then cool!! i'm looking forward to the finished product!!

Yeah those trays weigh at least 10 ozs each.

My hatch has a underseat tray but I never use it. Doubt they would work with the prelude seats anyways. I'm pretty much stuck with the battery there the tank for the water injection is going in my battery box. I'm going to make a plate or a box to go under there so they aren't just sliding around.

for the methanol just T into you washer bottle. same stuff as boost juice ect..(winshield washer fluid that is) super sleeper. I need to read up on track rules but you have to watch where and how you put the battery, being a drycell it may not matter. running a regular battery it needs to be in a metal box with a vent, and a battery cut off switch those are per NHRA rules

[shorestiva]

I don't have a washer bottle anymore I was going to get a rear washer bottle but its tiny. The track I run at doesn't really pay attention in the tech inspection. I had a normal battery in a plastic box held down with a tie strap and they never looked at it.

Haha, same here. they dont care at delmar, especially if you bring a festiva.

[shorestiva]

Does the 323 one fit festiva seats?

Yeah they only checked that I had seat belts till I showed up with a front mount. Then they made me pop the hood just to see what it was.

[shorestiva]

Got the suspension together amd set it down.

Had to trim the top mounts so I could get the nut on the struts.





Its not as low as I hoped it would be but hopefully itll drop another 2 inches when the engine is in.
