    I'm guessing thats what he's talking about. But it doesn't have an application for the Miatas.

    Yea maybe they don't offer on since it's only about 12.5 lbs. difference between a stock style AGM and the Braille at $175.00.
    DURALAST-GOLD BATTERY for a 1996 MAZDA MX-5 MIATA

    Unit Price: $79.99
    Core Value*: $8.00
    Part No.: 8AMU1R
    Weight: 24.0 lbs.

    I have an Odyssey PC545 I'd like to sell. Brand new, never installed. I was going to use it in the "race" car until I decided to go into a class that requires a stock sized battery. $60 and it's yours. 12 lbs, IIRC.

    Woohoo! Only 33 more pounds to go. I might get to keep my a/c next season after all.

    Crap. Looks like I jumped the gun. I didn't catch some wording in the Solo II rules - looks like I have to have a battery of similar weight to stock after all.

    Whatever you do... don't lose the AC. You most likely will regret it during the summer races.

    Does that apply to CSP because I might be interested if it's legal.

    Reading the 2005 Solo II rulebook, it looks like you can relocate it, but you can't get a smaller one. However, the STS rules specifically allow a smaller one, while SP rules don't. Weird.
