just an idea if you want. You can move the battery down into the engine further if you want. You just gotta get rid of that whole mounting plate/stand thing and move the evap canistor if you still have your emissions hooked up. Then the battery will just drop down further into the engine bay. It's what i did, and opened up a lot of space. Here's a pic of someones car who did it. I really like how he did that so basically im copying what he did with the battery. He also switched to a lawn mower battery because its smaller. Im sill using the stock battery, it fits fine, but im going to switch to a slighty smaller size battery because it barely fits down there. anyway here's a picture i saw that made me want to do it, and it might give you a better idea of what im talking about.
