I still want to see how that BOV drives... I like my MR valve, but if I can get something that doesn't flutter @ low RPM in high gear I will be happy.

why do you think a mini battery will cause a problem?? My PC680 worked flawlessly for 4+ years and my Deka has been doing great for almost a year now.

The mini batteries suck from what I've experienced and seen. They don't last as long and they have a really limited amount of cranks. Some get lucky like Marc, but more don't especially in hot or cold climates. If the car doesn't want to start easily that thing is drained fast. I have never like them. That's just my opinion. There's as many arguments for as against, but I took the relocation side.

there's a lot more noob threads in the I-IX general section lately. i'm assuming it's a result of kids getting their hands on used evos.

If your car is a dd then its not worth it for a mini. Theyre pretty much boat/lawn mower batteries and even those are a pain! Id have to trickle charge my motorcycles all the time and it was super inconvenient. Dan, my nose really burns from picking it too much.

First off, you may want to slow down on the nose candy. Second, it's probably better to DD with a mini battery because the first time you let it sit and it gets discharged, will be about the time you will be shopping for another one.

I wonder if he puts BUTTAH on his bread?

Who in their right mind would pay $1,200 for a seat that has #139 on the back? WTF!
