yeah, its easy enough to do.. as long as you find some way of securing the battery come MOT time.

You can find and earthing spot in the corsa really. Try the rear bumper iron... Think its a 13mm bolt at the back... or am i thinking of the nova.... och i dunno... LOL

I'd use at least 4 gauge cable, considering the distance to run it wouldnt hurt going even bigger! Get some 0 gauge in there it looks wicked

yeah plus you'd get next to no voltage drop using 0 gauge, it'll happily carry about 350 amps continuous
