battery replacement?
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... |

Re: battery replacement?
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... |

Re: battery replacement?
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!

Re: battery replacement?
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.
