Any hints/tips on how to cut the holes in the body to get the intercooler piping? I'm needing two 3" holes were the air box used to be and a 3" hole were the battery tray is.
Is there an easy way to remove the battery tray? I was thinking of trying to find a 90mm hole saw? |

I couldnt get hold of a holesaw when i did mine, I just drilled about 20 6mm holes and chisseled it out. Then i cleaned it up with a pencil grinder.

90mm hole saw was all i used. It's probably the easiest way to do it.

to remove the battery tray you need to drill out the spot welds.

Cool. I'm probably going to have to drill from underneath on the passenger side as I can't be bothered removing the blower. |

Be aware that the ABS module is below the airbox, so be careful when drilling through there

Brett Cheers, but it's irrelevant for my pov pack (no ABS). |

Wheres the spot welds? I can see were it sits on other parts of the body, but I can't see were the particular welds are to be drilled.

Its a pain removing the battery tray, theres about half a dozen spot welds. You think youve got them all and theres another one always hiding somewhere.
Dont forget the spot welds on the side which are attached to the frame rail. I used a pair of tin snips to cut the holes. Worked ok, was a bit rough but can be cleaned up with a dremel or a file. To find the spot welds try sand the surface and it should highlight the depressions where the welds are.

Can you get defected for cutting holes into the engine bay walls. Are they structural? Surely not. The metal is very thin.
