so lets put some damned usefull info in here and sticky it.

goodle yeilded nothing usefull...except maybe i need a 75/35? i bought a 75/25 and the wires wont connect to the posts. im looking at the little black box connector on the pos side and im not sure how i could modify the fuse holder to modify the mounting bracket. do i need the reverse terminal battery? or what? how can i do this !!!
argg!!

 

you need a 75/35 for the red top. i got mine in the mail today. it's going in the ae.

 

i got a optima red 35R...the positive wire had to be modified in order to reach the post...so i took a dremel and cut the black plastic shield holding the fuse thingy...

what a pain in the a$$...i ordered it from remy batteries on ebay...and they told me this was the correct fit...looks like it isn't

 

75/35
went and got one a few hours ago. yup....

 

I got a brand new one 75/35 for sale, $100 takes it, comes with "proof of purchase too" Manassas, VA

 

Now you chime in.....thanks!

dont mean to jack your thread, but if I started a thread for this I'd get flamed like a ****...

I did search tohugh, just wanted a final go ahead before I buy this.

thanks

 

if anybody wants an optima, google remy batteries on ebay...fast shipping!

 

Yeah, Remy Battery on ebay is the way to go. Fast shipping and cheap pricing.

so is the earlier link I posted the correct type of red top??

thanks

 

Got it locally cause I needed it ASAP. Went with the yellow one though from Advance. I think for 169.00

 

75/35 is the correct one for an 02/03 as well?

 

75/35 is the red top that will fit 5th gens. d75/35 is the yellow top that will fit 5th gens. unless you are going to be like p-diddy and install a semi powerful system in your car, the red top will be fine. the only issue i ran into was the battery tie down. you'll probably have to use something to raise it up a little since it's shorter than oem. you'll see what i mean when you change it.
