me and my friend found a place the other day that sells batteries the same size as the original sealed for 90 dollars which i thought was ok.

i want tobe able to whatch a movie @ drive ins and not worry about flat battery

just turn your car on and off now and again, this isnt the best thing for it but will save the battery from going dead. and if all else fails they wheel a battery round after the show for those who have flat batteries!

optima yellow top @ battery world, check the white pages.. theres a few locations

im pretty sure they are under the $400 mark....

i think i paid $380 for mine...

I have the same battery in mine, but mine is an orange top, not too sure of the differance. Anyway these are great for car systems, and a 1 Farad Cap. wouldn't go astray either.

Bought mine at:

Battery World

1245A Sydney Rd.,

Fawkner, Vic, 3060

PH:9359 5111

PAID: $310 (with new battery clamps)

Be warned, you will need to modify your battery tray, leads and clamps to fit it. But is well worth the effort!

If you need help to fit it or if you just want to check mine out before buying it, give me a call as i have done mine myself.

yer im thinking of getting an optima.. is it true i need to upgrade my alternator ? and do those batteries last a full movie running say 500W RMS ? and with the clamps.. cant u just buy ones to fit from jaycar ? they haev golds clamps for like $10.. bargain! aznd do capacitoprs help.. if so wherr is the bets place to get one ? i think ill get one of those solar drip chargers at the same time for safety :rolleyes:

The battery clamps i bought are even cheaper than the jaycar ones.

Apart from the battery, there is not alot more expense, maybe another $20 for clamps, cable and battery holder.

NO you do not need to upgrade your alternator.

Give me a call and we could meet up.

You might laugh, but you could do worse than trying RACV batteries.

They have different levels of batteries, including some big mothers which could start a Mack truck from 1/2 a mile away.

Also, they deliver, install & provide a guarantee for no extra.

They're worth a call.

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
