AND yes, it's a bit of beeefffff. Hopefully no roll needed. Hopefully. Because I gave back the fender roller some time ago 😅
Oh yeah, good to be back? I think? Hah! We went from 95°-92° peak to 72° and rain. Progress is slow, but it's progress! FedEx delivered my battery today, maybe I'll try and start it tonight! I should probably hook up the exhaust first.
YEEEEEEEEE!

It is a PC680... I've noticed when I bought the Odyssey for the NA a while ago that they seem to be dropping those PCxxx family names and instead referencing the actual model number. There's actually a bunch of different "PC680" versions depending on if you want the one with the metal lined puncture resistant case, metric or SAE terminals, reversed +/- terminal locations, etc etc. I guess it makes sense because I could absolutely see someone just generically ordering the first/cheapest "PC680" in a Google search and not paying attention to the details, then arguing with the vendor that they sent them the "wrong" one.
The one I bought is actually listed as "Odyssey ODS-AGM16L (PC680)" on the invoice but it doesn't have the PC680 listed anywhere on the battery itself. In fact, I called the vendor after I ordered it to make sure they actually had it in stock and could ship it immediately. The person on the phone said they had never heard of a PC680 and it wasn't in their system, but the ODS-AGM16L was in stock and would ship immediately.
Anyway, I got a battery. It's probably better than the old dead one 😁

Thanks! Got them used super cheap a while back. IIRC they were part of a vehicle specific kit (Subaru maybe?) that got pulled off a wrecked car. Mounts and hoses were fucked but cans were fine. Radium was kind enough to sell me the Miata specific dual mount a la carte and some fittings to make it work. Fits and works great! Love me some Radium parts.

Oil: changed
Battery: installed
Racing Beat Header & Midpipe: installed and sealed
Started on the first crank! Stock ECUs are so amazing.
I thought I had a couple of fresh bottles Motul RBF660 but it turns out that is not the case. Now I'm trying to decide if I want to leave the potentially 'wet' year+ old Motul in there or flush it out with FLAPS fluid of some sort. Unfortunately, nobody local seems to sell anything more exotic than Lucas. I guess I'll look on Amazon tonight, but that's the last thing before it goes on the trailer.

Our standard shipping is 2-day FedEx Express if that helps, and we have both 600 and 700 on the shelf.
Looking forward to seeing you next week!
**Edit, we don't have 660, we have 700

@turbofan What's the dealio with 600 vs 660 vs 700? For my application these all appear to be interchangeable. Sorry I'm an idiot, but remember I literally still have Super Blue in the garage. Just higher temp limits? I feel like I'm missing something here with the Motul stuff.

Thread drift, but I remember you saying you had a tr6 at one point. That had to be 10 years ago, IDK why I remembered that considering I can't even remember **** that happened to myself that long ago.
Anyways, you still have that Triumph TR6?
