i have looked inn the search and on google and have yet to find pictures or detailed accounts on how the battery performs or how much modifications needs to be done to make it fit. if anyone has any information or pictures they can add that would help. my recent battery died and the one i replaced it with is now hitting my pipping so the 51 is smaller and same CCA seems like the way to go

 

I did the Honda battery and then switched to the Miata battery. There are tons of threads in this topic. Go through google type civic battery or 51 or Miata then type EvoM and you'll find lots of info

You could use the stock tray cut it up, use a civic tie down but I added a cross brace under the battery to prevent front to back movement

 

do u have any pictures of any of those setups? and the miata battery looks like it has less CCA thats one of the reason why i didnt go for it i leave my car a weeks at time without turning it on

 

a picture to better show my problem

 

I bought my Miata battery from autzone which has a warranty. That being said I've left my battery without turning it on for a month and a half and it cranked right up. Hasn't had a problem turning the car over. I first went with the civic battery for the same reason but the Miata one has been more than sufficient with my muse short route uicp.

Just look for the pics, you'll find them. I'm at work so can't look for you but I know they are out there when I did my reasearch

 

like everyone i was worried about the mini battery so i bought the miata battery today ill be back to report how is doing and add a picture when im done fabricating a tie down and new terminals
