Save your money and buy a Deka. Braille rebadges Deka motorcycle batteries and charges 2.5x the price. Reading Braille's response to the finding below is humorous.

Well consider you guys very lucky because in Japan Deka ETX30L goes for 35000 yen (roughly USD300)

tom, you rebel. I guess no state safety or smog inspections in fla. in ca they have surprise check points at random. I guess it keeps the crappier unsafe cars off the roads, things have improved in the few years somewhat.

Does any one have the carbon fiber doors? if so do they look like and act like the original stell shells it replaces? Secondly, how about the CR trunk lid? Lastly, still waiting for anyone who has any information on CF Roof? Thanks for any help.
Happy Thanksgiving

I would buy cupcar doors.

Go to www.j3racing.com . I think they have some doors off their old RSR's for sale.

Has anyone used Hawker Energy batteries? If so which one?

If you do CupCar doors you need a cage that protects your torso (and climb into
your street car). If not and a bicycle T-bones you, he will hurt you.

battery is fine if you keep it on a trickle at night. cant run radio and keep doors open while you are doing stuff but other wise not bad, at least in warmer climates.
I have been running the same one for over 2 years.
you can also relocate them anywhere

Ive just never wanted to mess with my battery...I like having the extra "oh ****, shouldnt have left that on" protection at all times. Like the time the cutoff switch got pulled on my car with my ELECTRIC bonnet cover down right before a clubrace...that was an interesting couple of minutes...
