Battery relo
Well done, Grussell. I think I'll do the same on my car. However, I believe GT3's have a slightly lighter stock battery so I won't see as much improvement. Still, a great mod. Thanks for sharing.

RayGT3 is infamous around these parts
It's not only the weight savings but the location of the remaining weight after the change.
