2000 2dr escort zx2: From 2 18s to 8 12s: Rebuild starts pg. 13


Recommended Posts

Using this piece from toolmaker on the alternator and gonna do 4 runs of 1/0 back to the back batteries this time. Only had 3 runs before with the 270 alternator and running a 9k. Going to 4 runs because i'm gonna change up to a 320 alternator and be using a 10k and the 175.4 this go 'round.

To get all the airspace i need to be able to do 8 12s in such a small car, i made just some minor cuts to the opening into the trunk to be able to carry the box/wall into the trunk area.

Also welded together some angle iron pieces to make a battery tray for the 5 d3100 batteries, and hopefully making a better ground connection with another one of those toolmaker 4 1/0 ring terminals and connecting it straight to the rear strut top mounting bolt.

Just got done checking out your build from the beginning. Looks great. Really makes me miss my zx2.

Thanks, man. It wasnt my first choice car for sure, but wheels and stance help them out a lot.
