Battery in boot now. Pic inside

[JakeSVRS]

Got in finished today. Well I say finished I mean in and working and half tied up. Quickly put my amp back in. Jobs a good'n. It works lol

Need to obviously tidy it up and make something for the battery but its nice and tight ratchet strapped down

Now I can start going a different route with my boost pipes and get it all hard piped

Quick snap

Are you leaving it in the boot?

Not tempted by taking the spare wheel out and 'hiding' it down there?

[SamtVRS]

Good effort but i agree with the above post because id also like to do this. You will miss the tiny bit of extra room especially already having that sub there too. But having said that am i right in thinking the sub is actually in spare wheel area?

Correct matey

The sub has a custom box to fit in te spare wheel well so I've saved all that space

Can't find a pic underneath the false floor

I can handle a diddy battery in the boot. I initially made the install with the false floor so I could still fit the pram on te boot but she's grown up now so no more pram lol

Be worth it with a rather unique setup of boost pipes when its all done

Cheers for comments people

[JakeSVRS]

And it will all be tidied up hopefully quite nicley. Those prices of wood will be gone and all wires hidden ect. Just wanted to get it working an running

[JoshH]

Would look tidier if the battery was in a black battery box dude, bit safer too I'd imagine protect it from knocks etc.

[JakeSVRS]

The thing is structurally sturdy with that ratchet strap. Just need to pretty it up a bit

[JoshH]

Well don't have anything metal in the boot that could short it etc lol, the batt box would pretty it up too

[JakeSVRS]

Yeah I'm suprisingly chuffed with it to be honest. Can't wait to start getting te hard pipes done goin a nice special route

[JakeSVRS]

That was the main reason I did it. To free up space in the engine bay

[devonutopia]

It does free up room. I was able to get in a water methanol install and route my air intake around it comfortably.

[Guest BigJase88]

Ditch the bass box!

Bass boxes are rubbish

[vindaloo]

Erm... Think ideally the battery would be in a box with a lid. Also seem to recall something about fresh air intake/outtake for the box to flush any harmful vapours or whatever...

[JakeSVRS]

I think to be fair I need to get a proper sealed battery for the job

[Fred44]

Why did you need to free up space?

Other that that was there any other reason?

I cant think of any. People like Porsche etc will use the back for weight distribution.... but this is a shtty little Fabia.

[JakeSVRS]

****ty Fabia lol, and you own one of these ****ty fabias

If you had read the post and comments correctly, you would see it is to free up some space in the engine bay for a different route of boost pipes. Why people hate on little things so much is nuts.

Its a friggin battery in the boot, dont get mad

[Jasvrs]

This forum is getting worst for slagging off then facebook lmao

[Fred44]

I do own one - so are allowed to say it’s shtty

Your original post was a bit ambiguous as it read like boost pipes was just the next job on your list of things to change.

[AndyPandy]

You need to cover the +ve (positive) battery terminal with a proper permanent cover.Especially when you mention you put a folding pram in the boot!! A car battery makes a very good portable arc welder!!.

Also you may not be covered by your Insurance Company!!
