Yes it was nice meeting you AustinTaper. It was quiet windy today but nice to drive away the heat away. There was this awesome 2003 SMR CL-S with a body kit and slammin stereo out there showing off to the masses.

Thanks for all who showed up.

Sucks. We had a wildfire here in Selma 2 nights ago and lost 200 acres. It was pretty scary because we could see it from our house and half the neighborhood evacuated. But the FD did their job and no homes were harmed.

ok been having a starting problem for a few weeks now ever since i put in a red top optima battery.occasionally i would go to start the car and it would just click like a bad battery so immediately i went to the positive and negative terminals and check the tightness of each and found the negative a tad bit loose. the negative cable was as tight as it was going to get so i put cooper wire in it to take up some space so it will get tight again(also did it to the positive cable as well)and it fired right up.problem solved right,not. occasionally i would still get the click but would start on the second turn of the key. took it to a buddy of mine that is a tech for vw and he found the positive cable to the starter a tad bit loose so he tightened it problem solve right,not that lasted for about a week and then i would go to start the car and it would click then start right up.the wife says the car doesnt like me only her because it always works for her,right,not. well yesterday afternoon the car finally would not start anymore no matter how many times you would play with the key and she was stuck in my vw buddies drive way. when he got home he jump the starter straight from the battery and he heard the solenoid but the bendix part was not engaging so he told me that my starter was bad.need less to say i was on this thread a few days before reading to pass the time at work and everybody was like the battery box and lower bolt is a pain in the a$$ so i was a little bit worried come time to do the replacement. never fear the battery box was not that hard at all but that lower bolt was a bi*ch my vw buddy came over and had a hard time using a cheater bar (breaker bar on top of ratchet)to break the lower bolt loose he said that was the tightest starter bolt he has ever had to undo that wasnt rusted(27 years as a vw tech). but all in all it wasnt that bad to do did it in my garage no air tools no lift about 90 mins including letting the car cool down.thanks for all the info couldnt have dont it so easely with out ACURAZINE,and the people who make up the forum

It's not your starter.

Sand down your battery terminals and battery post. What size Optima did you get?

Im not sure if you drive yours a lot but I have a optima red top (my car is driven only on weekends)and I have to put a trickle charger on mine as well. I have a buddy of mine that has a yellow top to keep them fully charged. You might have a battery that is defective. Optima makes a good battery but they some times don't come fully charged and your car just maintains the energy unless your driving a long distance then it will start charging. I am assuming you have the 3.2 in your TL. The battery should read CA 1000 CCA 800 RC 100. That is the correct numbers you need tor the 3.2 engine.

In my old Accord, if I left the yellow top hooked up sitting for over a 2 week period, my alarm would drain it by the time I got back.

Ever since Optima took over Delphi Ops, their batteries have had less than "Optimum" performance.

Just a good car wash. They're easily found on the nav but you drive to them and sometimes they suck. I like having a clean ride while on vacation
