seems expensive...but I guess if you were cutting down every ounce it would be worth it.

I once heard a pro racer say that they best thing he ever did for car performance was to go on a diet. I could stand to lose more weight than that battery and not only keep that money but have the money I didn't spend on junk food too.....food for thought

Does it have the cranking amps needed?

This isn't exactly a 1.8L Miata...

you might want to check the cranking amps and such compared to what you have. I dont think it has much but its been awhile since I messed with batteries.

Need to check out their web site and look up the model. In this case the 6.6 lb. is only recommended for 4 cylinder you have to get up to the 15 lb. before it is recommended for a V8. I run one in mine and have had no issues.
