which light weight battery?

[preludacris]

mate what are u on about. front heavy cars are not a good thing. u want it as close to 50 50 as possible. handling is not just about ur 2 front wheels turning ...

and also u want to have the weight behind the front axel, as much as possible, not as far forward as possible. psh "extreme traction" lol

60/40 is hardly an over the top "heavy" weight distribution - 50/50 is great for tire wear and balance, but we are driving a front wheel drive and in the real world, 50/50 just isn't the fastest.

I'm not talking a real "front heavy" 70%+ front bias where it's obvious will suffer heavily in steady-state cornering, i'm talking about people taking weight from the front trying to get it to 50/50 based on internet hearsay.

RE: Weight in the back of the car

I'm putting min in the boot to get the blance closer to 60 / 40 or even 50/50. it makes the car more predictable and stable on the road.

When i first stripped the boot (and i mean stripped, no carpet no sound deadening just bare metal and paint). the difference was massive. The car was a fair whack lighter (25 - 30 depending on the spare tyre), and it definately UNDERSTEERED alot easier.

This is my reason for getting stuff OFF the front and and putting stuff ON the back end. Removed the AC and it helped alot, relocating the battery will help as well.

in order to reduce the weight of the car the distrubution shifted to the front more and needs to be counteracted.

dude, dont need to explain to these e-mechanics.

if you're happy with what you are doing thats all that matters.

like those guys that say Tein Flex is SOOO Firm.

I got some good advice from people who actually owned them. Was great.

hahahah no harm in trying to educate someone lol

From my experience Odyssey battery's are terrible. Mine continually lost charge even after I had it replaced, and once it lost it charge it couldn't be re-charged.

I'm sure they are light, but as far as being a good battery I'll disagree.

I'm sure everybody has had different experience's with the battery's, this is just mine.
