Ok I have a tech question. I have a 91 Volvo wagon. I have relocated the battery to inside the spare tire well under the false floor. The battery is securely fastened. It is under the false floor that is wood btw and is well away from the false floor so nothing can touch it. My question is do I need a battery box in this instance?

You do not have to use a battery box for autox. The rules only state that relocated batteries must be secured and must be mounted behind the back seats.

Also, our tech inspector at SJR is a Volvo guy and he has 40+ Volvos coming to our August 11th event from all over the east coast, including Canada. Come on out! http://www.tristatetuners.com/forum/...d.php?t=118834
