i am looking to get a Optima battery because mine just took a crap on me for other reasons. i went to their site but they don't list one for our cars. is there one that fits and is powerful enough for our application. i would like to know becasue i am about to go buy one in a day or two.
the larger red top fits just about perfect, just need to trim a little bit of the lip on the battery tray off. the smaller one you dont need to trim anything but... its smaller
when i got to the store to buy it was afraid to spend to much money fixing the battery and not having enuff money to fix the other problems i was having. in the end i made a wise decision not blowing my load and getting the more expensive battery(by 70 dollars).
I have the larger red top too...but mine is in the trunk. Its a good battery...I had the battery come off of its mount autocrossing once and it was flying around the trunk but it was ok....and thankfully it didnt short against anything. Everytime I would change direction i would hear a huge thunk and after my run I was like as the battery was sitting on top of my spare tire....No leaks or problems with it, so thats my story of how much abuse they can take. Man...if I had a regular battery i would have had a mess on my hands....
