Yea, the model I posted weighs 6.6lbs and costs more then $200. My Odyssey cost me about $120. Im keeping my battery in the front of the car. I dont feel safe having something that can spark right next to my fuel cell.

checkin' in from vsixp.com

02av6 ran a 12.7 with a stock j32a2 SC'd in a 6gen accord coupe. turbo>>>>>SC

rajca, with spray AND 10psi, you will be in the 12s, assuming you can hook-up/drive

i've got a j36 turbo in my 6gen accord coupe, i plan on being mid 12s once it's broken in

btw, how'd those rdx injectors work out?

That looks like it was worth it.

I'm not familiar with those batteries.

Do they have the same performance?

You are going to mount this in the trunk?

I use a light weight braille battery in my CL. It is not the CF version but is quite powerful. I have yet to try it with my system that is not installed yet. I want to mount it flat, its standing upright as of now because I need to make the grounding wires longer. You can have the terminal posts is one of two positions on this particular battery.
If anyone is interested the part number is b2015 and I got it from Jegs.

I have the 15 pound Braille battery (non-CF) in my TL. It cost around 120. I dont remember there being a huge difference in price between the 15lb and the 12lb Braille, maybe like 20-30 dollars

I think I paid $160 for that battery. They threw in the mount for free too. When I first installed it I felt an easier crank and start. My butt dyno felt some difference too. I mean it takes 20+ pounds off the front tire... Can't hurt.
I discovered braille and their batteries from reading the guy who did the "TL Diet" over on the 3G side. He recommended using a trickle charger if your not goin to drive the car for over a week. That's what I have done over the winter since my car is not a dd. Started it up this weekend with no problems.

+1 If you have anything less than 15lbs, and you leave it to sit for over a week, it'll die. The more often the battery dies, the more difficult it'll become to take a charge after a while. I used to drive the spyder every weekend, if I didn't get a chance then I would start it up and let it idle for 10 minutes. As long as you don't have a short in your electrical system you should be okay. Another good thing to have is a shut-off switch, mostly used in race cars it is great for shutting down all the power going through the battery and it'll save every little bit of energy.






I have one if anybody needs one. $10 shipped.

yea Bose is the factory sound system and the rear deck shoudve had 6x9s. The front doors house 6.5s also make sure you take out the factory amp thats somewhere on the wall in the trunk on the passenger side if youre planning on loosing the whole sound system.

Yeah I would imagine it's pretty decent.

I had some of their subs back in the day.

For the most part...good quality.

Are you auto-x or just 1/4 mile strip? If the latter, you can take out the 2 cross frames behind the rear seat. I took mine out, their about 15 lbs all together.

You can also remove the front and rear bumper cross beams, that's about 30+ lbs.
