I hate the location of the battery! I hate it. HATE IT! Okay I got that out of my system. I would like to put the battery in the back of the car and while I am at it put a safety switch in. I don't like to replace the batteries you can tell.
So my question to the older, slower of you ZR1 owners, Uly you don't count except when you've spun out again.
1. Have you relocated your battery? if so any issues? likes - dislikes?
2. Battery cut-off installed, any effects other than looking stupid when you forget to flip the switch. ECM issues? (Yes, I know about the clock, sheesh)
3. Im sure one of the tuners has a kit for it, and no I am not too cheap to buy it.

Thanks Guys!

I had haibeck do the battery relocation. it works great and helps balance the car better. he also uses a bit smaller batter which is lighter. he didn't do a cut off switch and yes if they pay attention and you race the car it could be a problem as they are needed. I just didn't want to cut my rear bumper.

no real downside. it's a great mod!!

I will look up marc and see whats available. I know that the current kit did not have a cut off switch.
