What did you do today to your 3/S?

so what is the purpose of having 2 batteries that are heavier than one?

The purpose of having 2 batteries that are 9.6 ounces heavier than one alone are that
1) I'm not concerned about weight savings or reduction as I'm not planning on racing
2) I've already had the 925 for a while and don't want it to just sit on a charge maintainer in my basement; it's also miles better than running a capacitor.
3) I do not want nor do I need to be running all of my electronics off of the starting battery alone, I'd like to keep it healthy and not shorten the lifespan.
4) I can run accessories off of the secondary battery in the back (while the car is off) and then not worry about the car not starting when I go to turn the key
5) Because I can; it isn't a detriment to my goals

I've ran my battery out at NG and BRG almost every year playing the stereo lol. It's not a big hassle to jump it off or charge it but it would be kind of cool to twist a knob and fire it right up. Would I do this mod? Probably not, but I don’t think it’s really a bad idea.

In case one fails

It's kind of a cool idea but not practical for racing. If you do it I suggest getting a quick disconnect for the extra one so you can yank it quick at the drag strip.

Not a bad idea, not in the original plan but it's a good way to think and plan ahead for future contingencies. I'll look into it

I just don't get it seems like alot of work for something that you might not ever have a issue with........very rare I have a battery fail on me.... if it does, just give the car a push and pop the clutch....

I've left lights, etc., on overnight before or because I am an idiot or killed it with the stereo and then had to call AAA or a friend to come and jump me before. Rare - yes, but eliminates the need to be carrying massive jumper cables in my trunk.
Besides, I like pretty wiring; and I don't really think it's that much more work on top of everything else I've got planned.

also, push starting - much easier said than done.

A little pricey @ 50 bucks but I like these.

Yeah that's a good price. I might consider using those if I relocate my battery to the back.

I just installed a new shift knob. I know..most people wouldnt notice the change, but I like the little things.

So, here's the old, worn out, oddly shaped OEM knob





Here's the Evo one that was BNIB and that I got for 40% off





I need to fix the wrinkles to the bootup be the knob, but I like this much more than the factory one. This is easier to shift fast... for me anyway

Nice choice! I liked the knob in my X

I am extremely proud of this so I am whoring it out.
