It's turbo weather!

Ray, are you still on the stock battery?

Where's Mark with the update on the coldstart for the Deka? Who bought one? Jeff, Ben, Kenny?

I can attest to this from driving his car. Feels unusually solid, but has a bit of lag on turn-in when compared to mine.

Which reminds me, I need to do something cool to my car, or else ben will never want to drive it.

Actually, I bought a westco miata battery. Has a pretty good weight/CCA/size compromise. They are also known to be very rugged.

The deka seems a bit unreliable. I also looked into braille batteries. I'm probably going to regret not buying your setup chu, but oh well.

Its not a big deal, I couldn't care less. I only brought the battery up becasue of Ray's post, and the fact that the Deka is a powersports battery, and only has 220CCA

Totally forgot about Marc's car being down. Sorry Marc!

I didn't buy anything yet. I started and drove my car this morning. It was a little slow to crank but fired right up. I have driven less than 1000 miles since Monticello

Chu if you are in Eagle Thurs or Fri hit me up.
