Smile New Battery Install (MotorMaster Eliminator)

Sup All,

Just installed a new battery…old battery was getting too weak for the cold Canadian winters. Picked up the MotorMaster Eliminator (Product No: 10-3478-2, CCA = 875, Cost: $105 CND) @ Crappy Tire. I followed this “DIY”. Worked great and fits nice and snug (we'll see how it performs come winter time in -35 C). Seems like the “Battery Group Size 34” fits our Civic.

Props to the following members for their advice.

MegaHurtz, diskreet, slick, PopcornPlaya, and WhiteRabbit (not in any particular order).

*** Note: If the passenger headlight burns out, you will have to remove the entire battery to gain access to the headlight. Damm small engine bay! And damm SilverStars for only lasting 10 months! ***

im not sure if its just the pic but your ground looks tiny. and they make distribution blocks where you can run 1 wire to the rear it would clean it up alot. also hit your engine bay with a lil simple green to clean it up.
