A few questions,

1. Worth it?

2. Relatively easy with a good kit?

3. Class change?

 

worth it for weight changes yes.

kit? i'd say make your own. go to a good audio place and get some good wire.

class change..... depends on what class your in.

 

I am currently in STS, and didn't know if this really was worth the time/effort involved, I mean a battery is what 30-45 lbs at most?

 

my stock battery weighed 42 lbs. an alternate solution is to go with a hawker odyssey, i did that and it freed up that corner of the engine bay nicely as well. only weighs 12 lbs. and very small. the little guy only works if you don't run a big system and such though... i have only a CD player and guages to power, so it's enough power for me.

 

i honestly dont think battery relocation and as much attention to class detail is your main concern? have you been out for your first autox yet?

 

Summit sells a nice kit for under $50 that I might get. i have to verify that it is legal, safety wise first.

 

Nope not yet, partially because of my license the other because of my schedule (I work friday-sunday) so I for now am trying to make my driving ability the weakest link (which I know it probably already is) so I know my car isn't going to perform any better, plus it's one of those sequential shifts...

 

If you want to do something with the battery, I would recommend just getting a lightweight one like the one mentioned above (I have it as well model PC680). Don't worry about re-locating it. The weight savings will make a nice difference (I saved almost 30 lbs in my case).

 

relocating as I speak, got a taylor NHRA approved batt box. (sealed, vents to atomosphere, kill switch)

I did it just for the engine bay space.

 

I'm with Jim.. Just get a lightweight battery.

There is a company called RedTop I think that sells a battery that is like 5-6 lbs.

You arent going to see any preformance differenace by moving a battery or getting a lightweight one if you not out racing. Whats the point to move your battery in your daily driver.

As far as Autocrossing TIRES should be everyones frist mod. In any racing you are on the edge of traction all the time and if your not your not pushing hard enough.

But before you put any $ in the car come out and see whats going on. People will be glad to help you with any questions.

Good luck
