| Alright I am relocating my battery and can't for the life of me remember the place I was told to go to purchase the wire needed. Also what gauge is suggested and should I keep the ground location or ground it in the trunk area? | |

| Hey, I work all tomorrow but next week some time I will stop by at NAPA on my lunch break.
I'm thinking it'd be best to do it by regulations just to be same that way I can never be turned away from an event or something. Is there anywhere with the regulations stated that I could check off to make sure everything is done to a T.
Also should I just use the existing ground then or ground it in the trunk(yes, it is a coupe) Also mounting it to the trunk just drill holes and bolt it? Meaning I will have to drop the gas tank to finish it off? | |
