    I clicked on the link. very interesting. When you click on vehicle make and model, of course no Festiva. I used a 1990 Civic for reference and the package they want to sell you weighs 105 lbs. 105 LBS!
    I think I will look further.....ty1

      How were you able to locate this Gtx? Ive been searching for either a Gtx or Slx funtop for sale and haven't been able to find any in my searches. Also would love to see more pictures of your Festiva!

              the good is 18.6# weight compared to the 25.4# 35. the bad is trying to find a replacement at a decent price when the time comes.



              anyone on here ever try one of these batteries. The ones that I installed in motorcycles weighed only about 2 lbs.

                this seems to be a little bigger than a cycle bat. rumour is that Honda used this size in some US cars. i can go to standard US spec battery but don't want to hack up the harness with new cables to accept the bigger top posts. don't know how old this one is or capacity. everything is in Japanese.

                  You can probably find a Deka battery in the correct size for less than 80 bucks new, and they are AGM.
