| Finally finished installing the EVO2 this week. The PC680 was located at the bottom of the engine bay directly underneath the brake & clutch master cylinders. Great for lowering the center of gravity, but lousy for access. Given the EVO2 is so light, I moved it back up to the traditional placement on the shelf in front of the scuttle. |  |
This placement meant that a slightly longer 12V+cable was needed, so I decided to roll custom battery cables equipped with
terminals appropriately sized for the small M6 terminal used on the EVO2. The good folks at Pegasus Auto Racing Supplies provided flexible 4 gauge cable, 1/4” ring terminals, and insulating boot, while an Amazon vendor sent a crimping tool capable of dealing with such heavy duty terminals.
The battery is definitely up to the task of starting the car in cold weather, so the big question now is how long will it last. My fingers and other appendages remain firmly crossed.
