Glasswars Phaze 2: hey?

Mine has a harness that stays connected to the battery terminals with o-ring connectors. It's hidden when the car isn't on the charger and easily accessible when I need it to be. It caps so it will never ground out against anything, it's by Snap-on. I love the little thing to death. Treats me right

So what wheels are you going with now?

where did you happen to get that metal rad cover piece that you got powder coated?

Car is sick

Just noticed this thread. Wow, your car is fantastic!

Off-topic but are you going to do custom shoots at Carlisle 2011? I'm still kicking myself for not taking advantage of your photograpic skills this year.

glasswars · Post by **glasswars** » Sun Dec 19, 2010 8:35 pm

Thanks a lot guys.

Crystal - No new wheels unless I find an insane deal. I was gonna get Miro STP-1's but I found out that they are replica's of Chevlon Racing Mesh's and I'm not rocking rep wheels. So I'm gonna chill with what I have. Don't wanna go to crazy, would rather spend the money on moving out.

Gramps yes I will be. See you then.

And the Perrin radiator shroud I got from Crystal, who got it before it went discontinued. The product has been discontinued for about 1-2 years now, so check all the for sale boards you can think of often.

So are you going to go with Fat 5s or Stones again?

I don't think he sold the Works yet.

glasswars · Post by **glasswars** » Mon Dec 20, 2010 9:31 pm

Probably not gonna sell them, at least not till the end of season 11.

Some details on the relocation. I got the battery and kit from Summit Racing. For some reason I can not locate the kit I got..

Optima Red Top (either 34 or 35 series, will check tomorrow)
16 foot 1 gauge Positive Wire
6 foot 1 gauge Negative Wire
Brushed Aluminum Tray
Black Tie Down
Clamps/ends/wrap/etc
Raptor Terminal Block

[/url

Drilled through the spare tire well, the negative is ground to the chassis underneath. The positive runs over the LCA's, next to the tension rod, down the left pinch weld, and up.

Yes I know the bay is messy. Haven't gotten a chance to clean up yet, or get the battery delete tray in. Also when that goes in, I get the boost controller, and vacuum block in.

Battery... is AMAZING. That piece of shit EnergyStar or whatever it's called battery I had in there was definitely what was holding my car back. The car starts so much easier now, headlights and foglights are much brighter, the idle is smoother...

The intake and compressor wheel are also much louder now with the battery gone.. not to mention the 25 pounds gone from the front, and the 30 new pounds to the back is a huge plus.

Battery is a beast too.. highly recommend. Had the bass crankin, headlights on, fog lights on and no sign of weak electrical power. This mod definitely got me back in the modding mood, loving the car again..

Nice, I would really like to do this eventually, looks good dude

Time to pc the battery tray or make something nifty and custom for right there....

That tray is great! Do me a favor though. Fuse it right at the battery. All it takes is a little tiny place to get worn away on the insulation and you don't have a car anymore.

Danteneon · Post by **Danteneon** » Tue Dec 21, 2010 11:24 am

Very nice

Question...is that black tie down metal? It looks scary close to the terminals

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Tue Dec 21, 2010 3:52 pm

I was wondering the same thing about the black piece.

glasswars · Post by **glasswars** » Tue Dec 21, 2010 4:15 pm

Yeah it's metal, but it's actually a lot further from the terminals than it looks.

dtjackten · Post by **dtjackten** » Tue Dec 21, 2010 9:18 pm

nice work anthony, i like the kit u got for sure!

i am not sure if i like were it is mounted or not though.... hmmm

i agree with erick though, a inline fuse at the battery is a great idea and i would recomend it, all the money that u have in ur car it would suck for something to happen for a 20 dollar fuse holder.... just my .02

glasswars · Post by **glasswars** » Tue Dec 21, 2010 9:29 pm

Someone explain this inline fuse business to me.

Anonymous User · Post by **Anonymous User** » Wed Dec 22, 2010 4:09 am

nice...want to buy a optima battery topper? its basically a distribution block on tops and its fused also..haha jsut might want to throw that out there.

but its good to see you making some progress on this.

BlackRoseRacing · Post by **BlackRoseRacing** » Wed Dec 22, 2010 5:41 am

Anthony, I have a circuit breaker right next to my battery:

I don't remember if I got a 150amp or a 200amp breaker but it's great. It also works as a quick battery disconnect if doing any repairs that require the battery to be disconnected. It also saved my car when I had a rub through on my positive lead to the engine compartment years ago, the lead shorted to ground and the breaker popped preventing any fires....
Relocation looks good otherwise

Danteneon · Post by **Danteneon** » Wed Dec 22, 2010 8:33 am

I like that idea Chris. Is that made by Stinger?

It would be smart to fuse or install a circuit breaker close to the battery. Should a cable ground out up front say, you would still have power feeding into the cable from the battery side. It is very possible for a fire to start that way.

I have my alt and starter fused up front, but if something were to happen to the cable between the batt and the engine compartment, only a fuse or circuit breaker will save my poor car.

Neon4Life · Post by **Neon4Life** » Wed Dec 22, 2010 8:40 am

looks very nice.

i was wondering what kit that was for the batter, then i realized thats one of those specials only made for Optima batteries.

Looking good bro.. I plan on doing this real soon..

i believe canadas race car has one to seem like an awesome idea even just for click BOOM work on your car without disconnecting anything or pulling fuses

speed127 · Post by **speed127** » Wed Feb 09, 2011 10:35 am

you can grab these off ebay too for pretty cheap. I have 1 in my car also so I can quickly disconnect my system

glasswars · Post by **glasswars** » Wed Feb 16, 2011 11:33 pm

Haven't made a for sale thread yet, but I'm selling my fat 5's. In great condition, they come with 195/50/16 in decent condition, should last another 10k... hit me up before I make a sale thread.

glasswars · Post by **glasswars** » Wed Mar 16, 2011 11:30 pm
