I will be changing to a sealed redtop optima when I put the battery in the boot, thought about a yellowtop but I dont think I need a deep cycle and I would prefer the huge cranking current of the redtops.

 

If you want a toyota replacement the toyota PN is number is 28800-yzzae. Thats what I have now and its worked flawlessly and because its a toyota replacement the posts are in the right position. Think they run about 50 note.

was going to go the Mr T route, but i'll be doing some more mods to the car and she did struggle to fire with this cold weather we had, hence looking at the Optima's. £140 on ebay, :D

I read somewhere that you can get them cheap from farming machinery suppliers as they get used on tractors and the like. £140 sounds good though, I seen some advertised at nearly £200 in places, just proves shopping around pays off:)

I have a little 38ah battery in my boot, car started first pull today after 3 weeks of doing nothing. At first, when I fitted it a year or so ago, I thought it was not up to the job, until I found the current draw when the alarm was set.

 

What's with all the foil Jamie, you been watching to many conspiracy films?;)

For a jspec replacement with small terminals you should look at a Yuasa from somewhere like AllParts, dont go for 005 as thats a UK replacement with large terminals ;)

 

It's definitely small terminals on your car, Geo. I've jump started it three times in the last few hours so have had a good view of them :D
