Engine/Power - non turbo (All non turbo Imprezas) Who needs a turbo when you have 2500cc? Cams, intakes, exhausts, etc. The 2.2L and 1.8L Subies are cool too.

battery in back

hey,
has anyone out there ever bought a kit that lets you keep your battery in the trunk? if so, did you notice any better handling or anything different? (one of my friends did so with his talon and it caught fire!!lol)

I'm not building a race car, but I have a weapon r intake and it takes up substantially less space than the stock intake so theres quite a bit of room on that side of the engine bay and I wanted to even things out a bit.

Unfortunately I live in PA. For about 6 weeks this winter, the temp never got above freezing.

cabe, honestly ask yourself. Is it really worth the hassle to put the battery in the back? I say save yourself the time and effort becasue it won't do anything back there.

waste of time IMHO.
