I have one of these: https://www.tayna.co.uk/motorcycle-batteries/exide/eltx20h-bs/

Used it for a couple of years without problems. I have aircon but no stereo and I use a battery isolator if I'm not using the car for more than a couple of days after the alarm drain killed off 3 lead-acid batteries. I bought a Ctek lithium charger for topping up over the winter as the standard type can apparently cause problems.

The battery is so much smaller that I had to buy a new clamp with shorter rods to hold it in.

agree

I ordered this back in Dec 2021.

No issues what so ever, I used the car as a daily commute all fine. When left for a while it will go flat, but then it's fully charged in what appears to be less than an hour using the charger.

In terms of weight reduction/cost there is unlikely to be anything else on the car that comes close.

A spin off for all visiting Spain/Andalucía.

The prospect of driving Belle through spring and Guaraní Girl´s enthusiasm to pose had me look at the Osborne Bull locations.

a creative search should bring up quite a bit Jared.

My 7 y.o. mini lifepo is still doing great btw. 
Well, it wás, I hope will be     Disconnected it three weeks ago and fingers crossed it will start the engine in about a week.
If it gives up, will buy the same or equivalent again.

Hi all, been trying to get more info on lithium batteries but it's hard to get info on which size (power more than dimensions) is best for the mr2.
I like the idea of less weight and found a few that are getting better price wise.
Not doing a track stuff just fun daily driver but as need it to get back and forth to work don't want any starting issues or need to put it on trickle charge things like that.
Any ideas / suggestions guys.

By Jove 
Just drove Esmeralda to my morning coffee with croissant, Giacomo in the back.
What an effort but a lót more comfortable than in the passenger seat try soaking up all the bumps and movements.
The way recovery is jumping forward daily, will drive Belle next weekend!!

I've just done my shocks springs top mounts and drop links. KYB and standard springs. Makes a huge difference a complete refresh after a geo setup

Oem refurbishment using kyb dampers  along with refreshed bushings over the entire car will yield really enjoyable every day usable results.
Following this adding more and more bracing will make it even better.

Any experience of o/e springs on Koni?
