Battery relocation
 
4 Attachment(s)
In preparation of having the car corner weighted in about a month and a half, I decided to move the battery:
- In the middle of the car (x)
- Lower (y)
- More towards center of gravity (z)

Re-used the larger OEM bracket and some 8mm threads and a plate to keep it on place.

um most stock miatas are pretty close on the F/R and corner weight seems like you are reinventing the wheel and prob wont get any good results.

that was dumb, it was in a good spot to offset driver weight

I believe the magnarator is correct, it's on the passenger side to offset the extra weight on the front right, which I always assumed was the driver. It'll be interesting to see results, looks easy enough to move back if needed.

I think the lower part is significant, but if you're going to the effort then order one of those 6lb batteries Keith used in the Targa build.
