Curious to see how you did it and pictures!

That's funny, I left my keys in the ignition (for some bizarre reason) and ran my battery completely dead. Considered going back to a lightweight battery, but ultimately just charged it back up because I have enough projects right now.

I did install a tablet holder so I can watch my temps a bit closer.

Also managed to catch my carbon fiber front lip on something, probably the driveway, and then dragged it down the freeway for a few miles to make sure it was well and truly destroyed.

So I guess one more project.

Bryan when I relocated the battery I was on my own. I never found any instructions on it. I choose the route of the wiring based on a preexisting hole in the firewall on the passenger side. I still had to pull the glovebox out to drill a hole in an "inner firewall". I used a set of jumper cables with 4 gauge wire. I used connectors for the 4 gauge that bolted to the unused post on the oem battery clamps. I used the same style connectors to connect to the battery. If I ever needed to put the lead acid battery back in , all I need to do is disconnect the lightweight battery and put the oem clamps back on it. If I can find a small battery box that the lead acid battery will fit in , I'll rework the cable ends inside the car so it can go behind the seat. The battery is in a plastic ammo box with a hole cut out so I can reach the reset button from the driver's seat. I know the wires wire tied to the DNA strut brace aren't pretty but, it wasn't ever going to be a show car. I'm more into go than show.

I installed a shortshot type air filter.

Do you like that better than the Fender type filter (Mopar, Injen etc)?

I really liked the CIA I sold you the best. It pulled in the coldest air. This one took three more pounds off the car. My present filter had a hole rubbed in it so I thought I'd give this a try before ordering the other filter.

Had a lot planned for the weekend; and did almost nothing....

I did test fit these carbon fiber DRL trims but then decided I needed to wash the car first. After washing the car I decided it was too hot to do anything else in the garage.

It was the dyno tune Toby did on the car with a little something to keep the car from showing a 0420 code.
