Odyssey pc680 battery installed in sc400!
Making room for my 2jzgte swap so this will free up room for i/c pipes and I will put the overflow next to the battery as well.
It cranks over the V-8 with no issues what so ever

Haha yea I have one in my evo as well which is how the idea came about not to mention it saves lots of weight, I have had the one in my evo for 5 years now and it's still going strong!

This was about 135.00 shipped or so and I am not a fan of relocating to the trunk as it adds a crap ton of wire and about 100 more points of potential failure Lol

Cool, I have a tiny battery in the Deka ETX-30L I use in my RX300. Great weight savers and they sure do open up space. I plan to do a new intake modification and it would not even be in the realm of possibilities without that battery. Vehicles starts up fine and no issues.

Yes with no issues just as long as your alternater is in good shape as this little "mod" will expose weakness in the charging system rather quickley.

That's good to hear. I wish I had known about these little batteries sooner. I just bought one last month

Nice upgrade! I went for the boat anchoresc optima yellow top, due to my light weight system. Clearly, yours is 100 x's cleaner to me. Nice!
