Battery swap
Well I needed a new battery and decided to spend the $ for lithium. Love the fact it jump starts itself. And although a direct drop in size, my new one seemed slightly larger at the bottom so that the battery clamp bolt was just short of engaging. Can anyone help with the bolt size and thread? Head is 13mm of course, I think it is 20mm long, I need 30 or so. Thanks!

Picked up Manuell (pronounced Manwell) from a thorough detailing, inside and out. Looks great & drives great. 2003 4s

Im planning on stripping the “sound system” as the car is mainly used for fun drives

Last Sunday and for the very first time filled my 996 tt with corn juice (e85) wanted to unleash the 920 whp it was tuned for but didn't happen due to severe steering wheel vibrations at around 110 mph. She'll need 2 new front tires with good speed balancing. Will try again in a couple of weeks.

How long do those lithium batteries last? That is a nice weight savings.
