Finally got round to taking a couple of pics. After finding the time the other week, battery was moved to the boot making room for the new WAI and cold air box set-up which is currently in the planning stage.


Next step is to cut off the OE battery tray and remove the rad overflow bottle which will be replaced with a custom made one. This will allow a custom cold air box to be mounted in that space with a short run to the turbo. Air feed to the box/filter will be from underneath.



A steel battery tray was fabricated which was securely bolted to the crossmember just behind the rear seats. Once all connected, a simple ally box was powdercoated and then fixed in place with 2 small bolts. Job done.

Definitely not much room in the boot on the WRC spec 4 due to the full size spare wheel. A sub box doesn't exactly help either

interesting work, man. like the pics...like the GT4 even more!

but yea, don't plan on carrying much cargo with all that in the boot.

nice work. i was actualy thinking of doing this, might give it a go. see how things end up i spose

I'm gonna do the same thing. Placing the Battery in the boot. Gonna remove al the back materials thats there and weld a frame onto the chassis. Where did you put your ground wire? Welded a bolt to the chassis?

When I move mine I used one of the rear strut top mount fixings for the earth point.

Just utilized an existing bolt hole on the rear crossmember. Stripped the paint back to bare metal and used a nut & bolt. Job done.
