ive searched and found that two type of optima batteries fit the stock location on a fd?
ive seen peole post 51r and 35r
knowing that i need the reversed terminals, i just need to know what size i need to get for a direct drop in the stock location.
i got this good for nothing leaking interstate battery
need to change it asap!

 

anyone?
just a confirmation will do
so i can go out and pick up the battery

 

Advance auto parts carry a red top optima thats a drop-in, i forget the number but it has to be ordered. Usually like the next day.

Hai

 

well i got a friend that can get optima batteries for 100 new with no tax
i just need to know the size and im all set

 

call them and ask. be like " can i get that number so i can just come in and get it"

Hai

im gonna do that right now
first gotta find their number

 

just called them...they said 75dt???

I have a 51R in my car. It's a little narrower than stock. Try this:

but it fits fine in the stock tray right? wont slide around or anythinig?

 

Get a yellow top with turbojeff's battery tray. A great mod imo. I think you can run the smic m2 medium with this mod and an aftermarket intake. Not too sure though. 51r is narrower than stock. It probaby would slide around unless you have some sort of tiedown for it.

 

Buy a 51R tray from me, 51R saves 10lbs and gives extra room for a SMIC.

 

cool...so you would recommend yellowtop over redtop?

 

Should also get his tray. I did and bought a 51R. Saves alot of room over the stocker...

 

I have a yellowtop, fits good w/ aftermarket intake and intercooler. The part # for it is D34. They also have a red top that is a little cheaper, don't remember what the part # is. As far as I know those are the only two full size batteries that fit w/ reverse posts.

 

ordered the tray from turbojeff and ordered my optima yellowtop battery
lets hope i get some good results
