Let us know how it goes! Are you daily driving your R? That is a huge amount of weight savings and if I can use it in my daily, I'll do it!

Please let us know how you mount it.

I've been daily driving this on an STI for the last few years. It isn't an issue.

It’s been good, I daily drive it. As long you drive the car, every 4 days, the battery will be fine, specially in cold weather places. Car feels a bit lighter.

I reused the OEM mount, tray & hook. You just need one foaming pad, that the battery comes

Go to the gym

I will try

Whats the Ah on the battery?

Check that foam pad every so often. It eventually flattens out and you’ll end up with a loose battery holder.

I will provide pics, as soon as I can get out of the bed: I’m recovering from a torn meniscus surgery.

The biggest Shorai has is 36 Ah lead acid equivalent.

Maintain the fuel tank with around 10% fuel only. Instantly save around 50kg compared to a full tank. Cheapest and the easiest weigh-saving solution

I know you were mostly kidding but you don’t want to be tracking this thing with less than 1/3 tank. On top of being thirsty many have experience fuel cut issues as it sloshes around. You could add a fuel blanket to the tank to solve that though I’m sure.

If just drag racing or street driving it probably won’t matter

Outch, get well soon.
