Great results pushing that brz! ~2,500lbs would be awesome.

Is that connection right on the painted metal?

no...not really... not worth it..as I am running a LW smaller battery ..already.... Pic is for reference..Same battery tho..
The Car is soo balanced, it not a high priority. I am happier just loosing the weight.

Anyone see the new fastrack?

Looks like there is a rule clarification to prohibit the use of E85 on any vehicle not OE "Flex Fuel"... hope no one broke the bank on a E85 tune for STX yet (oops...)

It was just a proposal I thought. That's the whole discussion on the other thread.

I probably wouldn't recommend it for DD.. I keep it on a tender/maintainer when I am not driving it.. however theres some out there that weighs 4lbs and has 550 CCa... thats probably going to be my next one when the DEKA dies...then it 'might' be ok for DD
