      Troy, ask Greg about it as he has relocated his battery into the cabin in his IPRA EK9.

        I just spoke to one of the blokes currently in the Super Sprint series but who also used to compete in IPRA in his Corolla. He said as long as it's a sealed type battery the only requirement is for it to be securely mounted.

              The car will be corner weighted once I've completed everything, but that's still a while off. All the suspension needs to go in, new wheels, different intake, new seat and a few other things that will affect weight distribution. The rear, left location is for weight distribution - Pro Concept recommended it. Personally I don't think it would really matter for my driving...

              The main reason why I'm going to the trouble of moving the battery is that I need room in the engine bay to relocate the catch can so I can install a cold air intake for the ITB's.

              I'm using 2 gauge wire from the battery to an engine bay located distribution block via a kill switch. From the distribution block it's going to be 4 gauge to the main fuse box and starter motor; 8 gauge to the ABS fuse box and a 4 gauge run through the firewall from the alternator to the battery side of the kill switch.

              The battery ranges in price from $285 - $300 in Australia, but Password JDM can do it for $140. Shipping cost is the kicker, so I'm going to find out whether it's viable to import it from the States.

              It's been a bit of the pain finding the right lugs etc and some decent battery terminals. I'm going to start getting things together next weekend, so I'll post a few pics when I'm done.

                Not all sealed bats are dry - Dry bats don't need to be in a box.

                    Had Buddy club racing battery, doesnt hold charge that well. Any recommendation in the $200-$300 price range for dry cell batt?

                      I got an Odyssey PC180 (unsure on model number). It did cost a lot but holds charge well and will start the car with no issues even after extended periods.

                        Ebay seems to have a few that are cheap but doesn't carry the brand price

                          PC680 maybe? I've just ordered one, they're under $300.

                          I had a Deka and it didn't last long at all.

                                That's the one. I was too lazy to Google.
