1. Never get a non-sealed battery, for the reason you mentioned (leaking), plus it's illegal (venting gases in boot = bad).

2. You should probably look at a deep cycle battery, something like an Optima / Odyssey battery or equivalent. I use an Optima Yellow Top and I can leave my car for a month and it will start straight away.

3. Or you could check out the group buy below, dunno if it's still on.

Agreed with what 97gtst and Razor have said.

I totally do not understand why anyone would even contemplate putting a non sealed b82rz into a car boot. I personally try and keep my car as imacculate as possible. I'd hate to have acid powder all over the boot eating the paint and my hands and everything else.

Fellars, a mainenance free battery IS NOT a sealed battery.

Do it right the first time, it'll cost more at first, but it'll save you spending more later getting the shelf cleaned and resprayed ($$$$).

I was helping a friend with his car on the weekend. I opened the battery panel, and there was acid all over the place. Someone had just bunged in a century standard battery. There was acid everywhere. I refused to touch it. He didn't seem to care that his car looked like shit. I just don't get it. oh well...

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By R3N3 · Posted

      Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..

      Does 98ron contain ethanol?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.

      Will I Need A Retune After Cahanging My Catalytic Converter ?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all.

      Ah yep. I asked a auto electrician about getting a cheap rebuilt alternator vs a new one. He also said he used to it back in the day but it ended up costing similar to what a new one would and recommended getting a new one,.
