Wow - a stripped VR6.  How ironic.

It must properly handle like a lumphammer.

And as for the handling, not all of us tear up Brands/Coombe/wherever.

Enjoy it mate, looks pretty smart

sand bags in the boot, spread the weight  :tongue:

my battery has been moved to the boot to help spread the weight front to rear (that VR6 lump is a heavy beast) BUT it doesnt help the weight right to left  :huh:

If you want to evenly distribute the weight - roof mount the engine.

If you're interested in the handling you need to get some of that weight out of the front - put the battery and the washer bottle in the boot..... and anything else that'll move.

how is this done mate? i would do it

rip the battery cabling out of an early BMW, its heavy guage, long enough to go to the boot (as BMW batteries are in the boot) and has a nice terminal block that you can use in the engine bay. the terminal block has 4 terminals on it and a point for jump starting (so you dont have to jump start in the boot)

my battery and washer bottle are in the boot, but the plan is to make a false floor in the boot, and move the battery etc away from its current home of the drivers side - if you can imagine most of the engine weight is on the drivers side. plus the driver sits on this side, plus sticking the battery on this side = fail!

If your planning on running the battery in the boot it needs to be a sealed version.
