I bought the battery box at the local Pep Boys. Originally I had ordered one from
Summit Racing, but, it was way too large, so, I returned it and went to Pep Boys.
I believe it is a group 24 box/battery combo. (It is larger than stock)

Ive been driving the car daily now for about another week and it runs really good. Im going to invest in a Turbo blanket to reduce my underhood temps.
Right now, the temps havent hit 90 deg outside and I can visually see the effects of the heat under the hood. (HID starter has a sticker on it, and its shriveling up)
Maybe Ill take Pics of the install/ maybe not.

Car runs well, Ill take pics soon. Ive done a lot of upgrades like SS brake lines, Neuspeed springs, replaced the windshield wiper linkage, larger turbo (re-tuned to 12psi) with new DP and re-routed charge pipes, traction bars, and 1/2 rad w/EG overflow tank. I fixed my sunroof that wouldnt close and Im working on an idle problem. I cleaned the IACV and nothing happened, so, Im gonna clean the Fast Idle Valve.
Ive picked up some replacement panels for the rocker panels and quarter panels so that will be coming up next.
The spare block is waiting to get filled with new internals.

Thanks. They were OBX and I replaced them with OE B/C they kept leaking no matter what I did. It seems my water pump is very hi powered.
