Ok so today me and my friends are out in the local hill runs filming for a media arts project, .... this was a bad day for my car.
First even though im only running .8 bar boost my ic piping flies of while going up will and i have to back down it with the car off in the lane people are coming up in...
Then to get the real subject, on the last turn i decide to be an idiot and get sideways in it and my battery box goes flying in the back of my car...it was not secured properly b/c i forgot to do it when taking the charger off...
so anyhow the battery box cracked and my battery leaked shit everywhere, oxidating a lot of the space under my spare tire...luckily one of my friends is really into chemistry stuff so we used a base to neutralize all the acid, and brushed most of the rust off with a steel brush, but now i need a new battery, i am thinking of going with a buddy club one, the really small ones, anyone heard anything about them, they are 40-60 and extremely small and lightweight...
any input is good thanks!
this will be the 5th battery in this car =( ive only had it 2 years...

yeah, well my batt is in my hatch in a box so i guess it doesnt matter how it looks lol
i guess it's a toss up between the optimas and the buddy club one...they are both about the same price...although i have seen the buddy club ones for cheaper but that was a direct sale throught whoever distributes buddy club's products in the us and i forget where to get it lol...

With the Optima, you won't need a box cause it's sealed lol so you could sell your box to make up for the cost!

Where'd you get the relocation kit? I've heard alot of times that the ones from like Jeg's or something have crappy wiring.
