i'd love to put my car up on the scales... but i have nothing to offer you in return other than maybe a case of beer and a bucket of chicken. what's your price?

or, if you need tires (and i'm assuming you do since you track your car), i can give you my cost on tires. paint too. let me know

Just send me a PM, I'm sure we can work something out. I'll be out of town until Tuesday next week though.

As far as battery goes, I didn't bother with relocating it since it is only 13lbs. (light weight battery). I never liked the idea of having the battery inside the cabin and most times when you add up all the heavy gauge wiring and battery boxes that SCCA require, you end up adding more weight than it's worth.

BTW, the gas tank is pretty well centered in this car, just the filler is on the drivers side. If I was to mount the battery in the back, I would do it on the drivers side since that would help with your corner/cross weight the most. That's if you couldn't mount it in the center, below where the passenger feet would be.
