No Idea, I will find out soon. I know somebody used one in his Miata without any problems.

It started the car right up without a problem.

How are you planning to mount that? Keep us updated on how it does in this cold weather we're getting hit with all over again.

I am going use the lightest mount I can make.

I probably won't start using it until it warms up some, or maybe just use it the day of a race until it warms up

That has to be the smallest battery I have ever seen used in a DD..

Let us know how that works out for you.

If nothing else it makes a good track day swap. Interested to see more as things progress.

I think that battery might be too extreme for a street-driven car, but let us know! I'm quite happy with the little 14.5lb Odyssey in my MR2, but I don't have any major electronics in the car, either.

Any other impressions on the bushings? Do you think they were worth it? Any plans for rear control arms?

I think they are worth it, Not sure on the rear arms yet.

If you order from JSC Speed let them know I sent you.
