Is the battery you're looking to get the PC-680 or the PC-680MJT? That would be with or without a metal jacket.

The Braille battery does have some impressive numbers according to that posting. I just wish their website was more informative. If you're looking for the lightest battery its probably a great buy....but for long term, proven performance I'd be more comfortable with batteries from Odyssey. They have 2-3yr full warrantees and most come with metal jackets.

Hey Nate, you could always take out all the interior and then it'll be a race car dude...And can you pm me where that 76 that has the 100 octane fuel. I will have off work for the track day and I wanna fill up some gas cans and the car.

but you would have to sit on the front edge of you engine and a little to the side, then lose 50lbs to be fair since it is on the other side of the wheels.

The 76 located on King street. Just hop on king right past speed gear. Go maybe a mile or two and it is there on your right. You'll pass one 76 before you get to the right one. The right one has a sign posted for Racing Fuel. The 100 Octane is only on the pump closest to the attendant. Call me if you want to ride with me or vice versa. A braile would be nice, but the guy I saw in the Indy Impreza Club back home could hardly start his car in the winter with it. He said if the car didn't start the first time, then it wouldn't start. He also had to turn everything off to start the car. Here I think the battery would be great, but I leave in a month.

i have about 4-5 months of use so far and it has never ever given me a problem. which is why i say the braille over the hawker since the starting power is stronger on the braille. i just don't give a rip about my civic so i got a cheap hawker for it,plus how hard is it to start a 1.6liter.

i love how that 100octane works from a pump. at first you will be watching the gallons going up and nothing special.......then you look at the price and it is at 12 bucks and then 15 and holy sheez.......you start to think that you just put in enough (after 4 gallons) and the mix of your old gas and the new should be a high enough octane.... kinda the feeling of losing money in chips versus green cash.
