I need an optima battery.
Wednesday, November 08, 2006 10:08 AM
Anyone around have one they would like to sell me? Or does anyone know where to get a cheap (< store cost) one? Used doesn't bother me as long as it's not ancient.

A guy over in the v6z24 buy/sell forum has a red top for $100 new. Check it out.

I'm actually up in West Lafayette at school, so it's a bit of a drive. If it's not to much trouble could you snap a pic?

Sorry for the problems... I just like to SEE what I'm buying before I make the drive and get the cash I was thinking about the bolt that's broken in the side post. Could you not just take say... a dremel or something and make a slot for a screw driver to unscrew it? Sounds good in my head but..... who knows.

usually thats what i do. but it was so tight in there and broke off right at the hole so that didnt work so i started drilling it out. ive got most of it done. i could probably work on finishing it up.

my yellow top took a @!#$ after I loaned it to my brother so now I have to get a new one thing is my yellow top was used from a guy with a 3rd gen and wa s abit of a stretch on my negative cable. It seems they dont make a yellow top in the 75 model only red tops (the side posts being on the edges. So I may just go with a red top for now

Yeah, I really don't know what I want to do. I'm having some electrical straining problems with my celica, so I wanted to drop in a yellow top to help out. I need to upgrade the big 3 as well. I'm just not ready to pay the $200+ for a yellow top. I was hoping someone would have a newer used one I could pick up.

here it is sorry it took so long. u can see how the top positive post is a litte groun up from use. if you just have your stock battery cable connector for a top mount it is fine.
and here is whats left of the bolt for the positive on the side, its close to coming out and then the side post will be fine to use as well. also i can pick up new yellow tops from costco for like 160 125 i think for the red tops
