Wanting to relocate my battery to the trunk. Can anybody give me any ideas on what exactly I'll need or if theres a kit out there? I doubt theres a kit out there.

It ended up being best for the battery to be in the trunk and the left rear. Of course they did this to a HachiRoku but the weight distribution way better with it in the trunk and ended up helping with the handling of the vehicle. So with that it must be true for other cars that have this modification.

Your not changing weight distribution much, if any, with 20-25lbs. Probably better to lose 20 lbs of body weight. Weight Distribution (% f/r) MT = 60/40 CVT = 61/39 So you might, if your lucky, get 59/41 mt and 60/40 cvt. Hardly worth it.
