Mesh does nothing for stealth, either. Uhm, D minus on your reading comprehension?

Where would that fit? You reaqlise I have less room than most B-swapped ED chassis, right?
you can fit it right where the battery was. why do you have less room?

My engine bay is crammed with ----; dual BOV, dual wastegate, and I don't care to ---- the electrical/sensor stability of my car by remote mounting a battery. Battery relocation that passes strict tech and satisfies me costs 250 plus, and then I'd be stuck with a complex heat-soaked water IC that is only superior if I pull over and ice it down. No thanks.

The battery relocation did cost me more than I thought, thats fer shure, but I would mount the IC and use the factory bumper cover. Im not a fan of aftermarket body parts.

Yah, and I'm ---- retentive as hell. My car might fly through tech once, but after I rip anything faster than an 11 at Bristol they aren't going to let me through with any old remote battery box, etc. I'd have to get a $$$ one, properly vent it, etc. As far as 1/4 goes they are it around here and they are *****. Add into the equation the increasing cost of 00 gauge welding cable, copper lugs, I don't own a soldering iron big enough to join them correctly as that fly by night unsealed crimp ---- won't be found on my car, etc. Too much ------- around for something that doesn't address the fact that water-air ICs suck on street cars and I need a stealthy install.

It is a racecar. Don't you drive your gutted, caged, wheelie bar'd, on slicks beast around town on a tankful of premium every so often?

I haven't taken any pics because I haven't wanted any of the local theives to see what it looks like. I've got no problem doing a one-off pictorial for the HMT nogs, but I have to get my camera back from mom and then drive out to the car and do all the sweet JDM HT angles, and that takes a minute to set up right. It's your basic red STD in pretty clean shape with ghetto tint turning purple and bubbly that I plan on mounting a Thule roof rack on and masquerading as a college student unless the trained eye notices the wheelie bar mounts sticking discreetly out of my rear bumper cover.
