We have one in the gsx and so far so goodI ran an optima in my 97 gst with no problems. It was 20 years ago…
Thank you so much.Changed my battery to an Optima Redtop and now my headlights are flashing and the windows would not go up. Pulled the fuse to stop the lights from flashing and was able to get the windows up. I got so frustrated I gave up on it for today and will look into it another day.
Lookin good brother! Personally I'd go for a few rips before cleaning it but thats just meGot the hood on now just need a bath.

To give the opposite perspective I’ve ran optimas in all my cars for 25 years and never had an issue. Just spent $250 on a yellow top for the wife’s Tahoe a month ago. IMO they are the best batteries on the market.I had a terrible experience with the optima battery. Had a warranty and they did not honor it. Battery was bad from the get go. Many of my friends have experienced issues with these personally i will never buy optima again due to the quality and how they treated me on my situation
good budgetCompleted the installation of my new Optima Redtop and Billet Aluminum battery tray. Total dollars Canadian $586.00...Yep...I'm crazy

Nice video. What brand seat?

Seems like you dsm guys hold on to these puppies like old hot rodders. This purchase is from 04Hope to join the crew soon but for now I’ll keep wrenching on them and having fun. We would like to see if this type of seat will and can sit lower then the gsx leather bucketsIt's an RCI that came in at 13lbs.

I am the original owner of mine, . The seat can sit quite low, really dependent on your brackets. I mounted mine in a fixed position, so no adjusting. i'll put up a pic so you can see what I mean.Seems like you dsm guys hold on to these puppies like old hot rodders.

That’s what I would do. Then maybe I can sit in their with my 6”5 230lb 🖼. I feel like high tower from police academy getting into someI am the original owner of mine, .

Edited: added photos of the brackets I used to mount the seat. I guess if you needed to, you could mount the seat directly to the floor board with some spacers

I had the same issue. I had a corroded ground.Over the weekend we noticed that the car has a terrible slow crank( not blaming the optima ) so I sniffed up into the engine grounds with the dmm. We have the battery in the trunk now and the engine grounds in the bay were terrible. No audio beep or very fainted. The alternators ground? Was totally missing/corroded and we added the Honda boy silver strap from the passenger side frame to the thermostat housing? Area. One of the loudest dmm audios were from their. Next will be to inspect the intake manifold ground and starter. Trying to search up where these would be so I can clean them up and rewire
