Out smarted myself again...SC lesson

I did not move the battery to the trunk. Walked out to may car this morning and click click, nothing....

I can't remember the exact reason I did not move it to the trunk but I remember thinking about it.

Lesson to all new sc installs MOVE THE BATTERY TO THE TRUNK

I hate when a mod causes issues.

You have to run a large battery in the trunk since all the line required to put ut in the trunk adds resistance, I am finding this out the hard way, since I bought a lite weight battery and it dies all the time.

Thanks did not even think about that. At least I got it cranked up today. Drove it around a bit but still have to start taking it apart tomorrow.

This exact issue has left me stranded more than a few times. With the undersized battery that CT recommends, those of us in colder climates have to play russian roulette during the cold winter mornings. Luckily I have a second car that I could use to jump the TL.

I'll be relocating mine eventually, but I've got bigger fish to fry at the moment.

I don't think you've seen him because he's been busy with his goat

That sucks man. How hard is it to relocate the battery?

Other side...fry and morton.

Recharged the existing battery and planning one big overhaul before the move.

I want the pre cat deletes, my meth kit installed, and a nx wet kit (pure show maybe ran once out at the Sealy track) might as well get everything done at once.

I'm sure "Justinspace" can set it up
