no hints? anyway, for those concerned about the battery, the odyssey car battery compares favorably to sears' best battery made to fit the outlander, in both price and cold-cranking amps; the sears die-hard winter battery was only $10 cheaper, with only about 30 to 40 cca's more: 680 as opposed to about 710-720 or so, i don't recall the exact rating, but close enough to warrant the lighter weight in less space. i should get it this week, but i still have to devise a secure mounting, which might involve laying it down, which you can do! will let you all know when it's installed.

 

post some pictures if you can...

 

will try!!!

 

That would be nice... it would probably benefit quite a bit to be able to run the intake all the way to the front of the car rather than a SRAM like I currently have. I can't find any other place to bring the intake to get cooler air- but if you can successfully cut the size of the battery in half....now we're talking good stuff

 

still waiting for the battery, but pondering possibilities....i was contemplating moving that air-tube mouth, with a little cosmetic surgery, further to the side, maybe over the driver-side headlight, and run some short tubing to the new aircleaner. i saw a ram-air scoop on the weapon-r site like that, with a 'rain cover,' but since it will remain under the hood in similar position as from the factory, i shouldn't have to worry about water....what about a sheetmetal heat shield from the battery side of the radiator to back over the transaxle and forget the air scoop? oh well, still just musings of a tuner-wanabe....

 

Just remember the insulation in the hood is molded only in that one spot where the factory air inlet is, so if you move it over, there will likely be a seal prohibiting much air from coming into that intake tube...unless you "customize" it. Part of my grill is actually filled in for some reason on the drivers side too. Just some more fun to add in to the mix.

 

you are correct; as a matter of fact, at lunchtime today i went to the car to look under there more closely and noticed that, and that over the headlight there's a bit of a rise in the framing, limiting space there....it's back to the imaginary drawing board....

 

lol...we spend a lot of time there with the Outlander- but how boring would it be if we had everything at our disposal. A little creativity is required which means not many people will have the same mods that others do.

 

i actually want something simply first i want to get a nice pair of headlight bulbs and fog bulbs to match....i would love to see pics of any installed to see how they look....Still undecided mainyl between PIAA and silverstars (had piaa in my evo and i wasnt completely happy with them but then again i never seen silverstars)
Then after them i think i will start with a intake, and then to some other mods

 

silverstars are really nice. my friend has them on his 240, they are bright crisp and white. although they do glare a little if your driving infront of him, its not as annoying as people with aftermarket HIDs (that can blind you even if you flip the rearview into dim)
