Get a Miata battery from a Mazda dealership. It's 15lbs lighter than the Protege one, takes up a lot less space in the engine bay, and says Mazda Performance right on it. LOL
$64 my cost.

I have run Optima Red Tops for the last 5 years and they were all excellent. only time I killed one is when my alt died. I now have a yellow top, its a ****ing beast.Block is almost done, cylinders are overboard for Weisco pistons, pro gram billet main caps have been line bored, and my chinese EDT rods have been machined to right specs. Everything has been balanced.

what ever you do stay away from the low end advanced auto battery. mine is already leaking at the top . i have owned it only for a year. in winter it sounds like i kept my headlights on for a few day's and tried to start it. this battery is junk. i guess you get what you pay for.stock blaze red 1992 Mazda Protege DX 5 Speed
