Can I get the postal code please? Also, I'm getting a reversed polarity battery in, once that happens I'll be able to take photos for the website and update it. I was thinking about just pshopping the photos I have up already, but decided against it.

Sure, New Zealand Post code 8052.

We are waiting for our batch to get anodized. Unfortunately due to the holidays, it got a bit delayed. I am expecting to have them back at the end of the week.

Bump bump. Any update on this yet?

The anodizer is being really slow due to the Thanksgiving holiday. I should have them back next week.

Booo, bad anodizer. =) Thanks for the update.

can this battery works in really bad snow weather? i mean leave the car below 0 degree for a day or two, will it still able start up?

It's been around 30-40F here lately. Car still fires up at 5am in the morning. Been in my car for 3 months now and counting.

To be completely honest I don't have data on those temperatures. I am going to say no, as the cranking power of (all) batteries is affected by very cold weather. You might be able to start it, but it will take some time, as these batteries have a warming procedure if they are in very cold weather conditions.

The procedure is to try to crank it. If it does not start up, you need to turn on your headlights to get electricity flowing through the battery to warm it up. After a couple minutes with your headlights on, try to start it again. If it does not work, repeat the procedure. The good thing about this battery chemistry is that successive cranks reduce the resistance, while with lead acid, successive cranks increase resistance. So, essentially, the battery will get stronger as you try to crank the car.

Picking up the anodizing today (finally!)

Orders will be going out next week.

I'm also offering free installs to SoCal buyers!

I've been running quotes on international shipping and the rates are actually quite affordable.

About $75 out to New Zealand, and $115 out to Austria, so international buyers, don't fret on the shipping!

Also, I am changing the group buy a little bit, I didn't realize the titanium license plate screws won't fit the BRZ/FRS, so I'm removing those and adding an additional $10 off of the group buy price.

Very high quality mount. Fitment and machining is absolutely perfect and Colin is a great guy to deal with. Very satisfied with this battery and mount. Thanks again!

It was great seeing your build, I'm really curious as to what it'll weigh! Thanks for coming by.

So it's a total of $50 off the MSRP now because of the titanium screw adjustment?
