Default I saw that when I did a quick search steve.. Living in a warm climate the cranking needs

are some what less I would imagine. Since this is my daily driver and is driven nearly every day.. trickle charging is not required.
may just get a OEM esque one.. just thought I would look at the options for size and looks.

Default well....most go after the weight >>>

"savings" as an advantage to me is not worth it, unless you are converting to a true track car. 18lbs is a lot, but the reliability to me is more important....and relocating to the rear is sorta lost with all the cable that needs to be run....probably the same weight and you are actually dispersing the savings across the whole chassis.....

yeah...i am rambling....


closing in on 400 hits on the "other" forum...;-)
