my engine bay doesnt really have enough space for some reason even though i have a stock(ish) 5s. so im looking to relocate my battery to the trunk.
two things...the previous owner(s) really kept effin the terminals so the wire which connects to my positive terminal, is really short so thats causing my battery be closer to the engine and hence taking more space. so either i relocate my battery or just extend those wires. so the question is: 1. how to relocate a battery for a noob? 2. how to extend those wires without buying a new harness? i would obviously choose the easier/cheaper option so please help. thank you in advance -------------------- For Sale:OEM tail lights - make offer

Exactly. Just make sure your chassis is still grounded to the motor because the car has rubber motor mounts so it isn't going to ground itself. There is one very small ground going from the tranny to the motor, but I opted for an 8 gauge ground. Better to have some overkill than fry your car.
