well i dont have any pics but look for pictures of 240's with blitz i/c's....then as 9240sx said just get a smaller battery preferably a stronger one like an svr or something....

Why relocate it when you can buy a slim battery? I guess its all personal choice. I dont want it in my hatch area because I need all the interior space I can get for hauling crap around lol.

yes because the cold pipe goes through the battery tray as well, so either get a smaller battery or move ur existing one to the back.

just put it in back man.....if your gonna be installing an innercooler moving the battery to the back ot the car requires a minimal amount of work, it will make installing the innercooler easier as well.

i have the SVR battery pictured and it only cost me 95, much more worth it than one of those weak little civic/miata batteries, ive just seen them die too much...
