I would be interested in seeing that DIY very much. Honestly, I may not relocate the battery to the rear as we have front wheel drive and the added weight in the rear vs engine bay would do nothing for performance but the overall astetic appeal just may be worth it.

As for contributing something to the community that 'no one will use' This community so diverse that anything you could possibly imagine doing to you your car, someone will say 'I love that - must do it'

Personally I'm impressed by the work that you have put into your Fit and the obvious attention to detail. Keep up the good work - I think I speak for everyone on this thread that we are all enjoying another fit-er that takes pride in there car.

Not sure about the Spoon battery, but it should be mentioned that with a very few exceptions, batteries mounted inside the cabin or trunk should be vented to the outside. Charging a battery creates hydrogen gas which you don't want building up in an enclosed space for obvious reasons. Even many seemingly "sealed" batteries which claim to be mountable in any position still have valves to release excess gas pressures under harsh charging conditions.
