if its just relocating the battery to the rear and not adding an additional battery...

the pros:
- extra space in the engine compartment
- 'longer' battery life as temperatures at the boot would be much lower than in the engine compartment
- reduce risk of shorting the battery terminals during maintainence
- able to use a much larger battery
- car's security is increased as it would take a while for the thief to access the 'hidden' battery

the cons:
- troublesome when it comes to jump-start/changing the battery (jump-start cable has to be extra long!!)
- cost of cable isnt that cheap since 4 or 8 gauge would be used. a sedan would need 4-5 meters per run.
- hiding the bundle of cables might be a headache and a noise problem if theres ICE. batt +ve to alternator, batt +ve to main supply, engine block to batt -ve. thats just three cables and more to come.
- cost to manufacture a nice bracket & frame

overall its not practical unless its adding a second battery. stock location is still the best.

The previous owner used Motul FF LSD for the automatic gearbox. I've only gone through 3 service intervals since I got my car, so I haven't actually change the ATF yet. The fluid is still good. But i'm planning to flush the gearbox with additive and change to another gearbox oil. I'm still wondering what oil to go for as I was told my car has the LSD gearbox. Not sure if the Mitsubishi Diaqueen ATF III would be suitable or not. The Redline Racing ATF and Motul FF LSD oils are pretty painful for the wallet, considering my gearbox takes up 7.5Litres of fluid.
