I reached a PB at Laguna Seca. The car continues to make it really hard for me to sell. This guy and a few GT3 owners were very upset with me.

So I went to Ballade Sport on Saturday with my stock battery and it turns out the FK8 ctr battery is the exact same size, even had the handle and everything. If anyone is in the market for a lighter lithium ion battery then check out the ones at Ballade sport. I'm not affiliated with them at all I don't get a cut on how many they sell I'm just trying to help out the community. They also offer a smaller s2000 sized battery at 9lbs but I didn't want to have to mod anything with the tray. With the FK8 ctr battery I shed 17lbs just by switching batteries and almost doubled the CCA 900+, take a look at the pictures. I'm pretty sure it's an antigravity clone just doesn't have the emergency start feature, the lil led light up top shows either how much the battery is charged or the voltage.

thanks man, yea im super satisfied with them, quality is the same if not better than oem. Highly recommend the led board which is sold separately even if you want to just keep your oem dials. The illumination gets super bright.

When you get older, you start dimming your cluster. I wouldn't be able to see **** if mine were brighter than stock.
Mine is at about 50% so I don't get night blinded.

Yeea, brightest setting on oem was too dim for me, the led board comes with a dimmer and I do keep it on the lowest because anything higher is a serious light show, based on that I definitely don't recommend it for you...I'm 30 and noticed I definitley dont like cluster lights as bright as when I was 20, so maybe there's something to your brightness/age theory lol

Or you have an astigmatism, bright lights suckkkkkkkkk at night. *cry

I have swapped the chrome belt moldings on my x to gsr black, installed new rear quarter glass rubber, ceramic coated my cowl, wiper arms, and random rubber bits associated. Also cleaned all the grime that was under said pieces. Gross...

I wired mine into the dimmed power source, but mine are analog.
