    Do you have enough room for a regular sized battery? Lots of guys like the dry cell's because they are lighter, I use a regular wetty. You want a battery with some decent cold cranking amps for those cold days, 600 should suffice. The first thing I did when I got my car was rip out the tiny crappy Japanese battery for something with more juice.

    miata batteries don't put out much unforunately. they are perfectly sized though, maybe if you can find an upgrade battery for a miata
    I've been brushing my teeth with jack but it's resulted in terrible amounts of tooth decay.
