Checking around information on the Spoon battery mod. Has anyone done this on an S2000? Sounds like there is some weight savings, but does it justify the price? Also, I heard there was no CCA listing on these batteries, but has anyone had any firsthand experience with this battery on a daily driver.
I've read the posts about it on the ITR forum so I have an idea about the battery, but haven't heard of any s2 drivers that have made this change.
U can see the battery here. (it's under electronics)

skip the spoon battery idea. pick up an oddessy battery, which will shave off 15lbs from the front end. its probably a lot cheaper too. they are very tiny.

here's one in here. you can almost see just how small it is. and it works very very well, as much as a battery can.

considering that with Spoon products you are simply paying a premium for the name it doesn't seem like a 'great' idea. The stock battery tie down weighs very little to begin with and the price premium seems absurd to save 2 ounces. Actually, really absurd. Earth Code? $0.30/ft of wire and (5) $0.05 terminals are costing you half of what the overpriced battery does? What a racket.

With a wire crimper, a dremel, a lightweight gel cell battery($100 or less), and less than $5 wire you would probably get better product.
