So quick update the car is tucked up in garage whilst they keep chucking that honda rotting compound on the roads @donald has kindly agreed to sell me his type s seats and carbon goodies so those will be going in as soon as I can sort out picking up also have been thinking about relocating battery to the boot am I best to drill through the floor and just run live under the car?

Honda didn't put any wires under the car for a reason, and I would avoid this. What will happen in case of cable isolation damage? In best case scenario blown fuses, not so optimistic-blown alternator and fuses, worst-fire.

So I spoke to paw about possible improvement to the peformance and was told not to bother with the water methanol kit as in there opinion it would just over complete things and I would be better off re piping the intercooler and a 3in down pipe unless i want to spend ££££££ to make this essayer I would need to remove ac and re locate bat ! To give more room as it is tight as drokk under the hood now :( so after investigating about relocating to the boot I decided that it was to much ball ache so have gone with a lightweight race battery located lower down in engin bay so it begins hope I have it bk together b4 mimms :o probably won't be finished product just as long as battery is in and she runs Image

Good work on the seats and battery relocate. So is it on one of those brackets that sticks it below the old battery location?

Maybe it's just the pic, but that battery positive terminal looks very close to the battery bracket :? Might be worth getting an insulating cover over it, in case it moves and makes contact...

gb lude my guess is that was originally clear hose that's being used as a breather and the inside is now discoloured with oil/gas deposits?
