All of the pics including some of s4 gauge cluster..



It's an odyssey PC680 non-spillable lead acid battery, ~15LBS.



I found these nice terminal connectors at a local car audio shop, and they're really light too. Not sure what they're made out of, but the way they are assembled is what sold me, pretty bulletproof design. The connectors are from lightningaudio (http://www.lightningaudio.com) but I can't find the parts on their site. The part number for the positive one is SBXSP-4/8. I don't have the negative one on hand... might be visible in pics. I used 4 AWG. The battery is going on the floor behind the passenger seat.



the gauge cluster had to come out so I could fix my oil pressure gauge, also investigating what tweaks can be made on the tachometer.







and now the teaser:

 

looking good, are those penguin pajamas you are wearing?

 

yeah! my wife bought me penguin pajama pants, she rocks. It's a linux kinda thing

 

You see RE amemiya (sp) makes or made a 10k rpm tach that looked excactly like stock and dropped in. Very cool.

 

I got my GF some penguin pajamas



Are you driving the car yet, or still ironing out details?

 

TiVO is Linux

 

havent driven it yet, like you said... details.



I havent decided if I want to do the breakin on the stock ECU or install the E6K now, while my license is still suspended (should have it back real soon though)

 

Its nice when you take the time to do things right, when I was younger

and had no patience my projects would usually be limited because I had

to drive the car. Then you realize part of the fun is doing the work and having a job you can be proud of. All your hard work should pay off with a reliable and good running car.

 

yeah it is, tivo is cool

 

nice!!
