Check out my home made battery hold down

[SynisterQ]

I had some aluminum pieces sitting around my house for years so I decided to make a battery hold down for my Q, since it didn't come with one. I just did a little measuring, cut it to length with a Dremel tool and drilled some holes on the cut side. I then went to Autozone and bought a 10 inch J hook kit to secure it to the battery. What do yall think?

Very nice, but how did you drive around "for years" without a battery hold down?

[konatown]

I took possession of my G50 with no hold-down either. Just made sure the terminal ends were firmly secured and didn't have a problem for a couple of years before I found a salvage yard Q45 and grabbed that off.

I just bought the car 3 weeks ago and was planning on buying a hold down, but decided it'd be cooler, more satisfying and cheaper to make the hold down myself. The J hook kit only cost $3 at the Zone.

Nice job! You just saved yourself $40. (That's how much it costs for the Stillen one)

Duralast FTW I'm guessing the terminal wires came from there too? Nice job on the tiedown.

That Stillen tiedown is gorgeous! Thanks for the compliments! Yeah, I upgraded the corroded ground cable(s) with 2 gauge Autozone cables. Just curious, I keep seeing FTW in this forum and I have no idea what it stands for, could you tell me please, thanks.

For The Win

OK> Now what does "For The Win" FTW, stand for?

I did the word "new words" recognition test in a recent issue of Readers Digest and out of 20 I didn't get many right, or, had no idea, at all, what some of them meant.

Oh well...

Ohhhh now there is clarity

Seems to me that "SIG" would, or, could be used for "something is good" as opposed to "NG" as in "no good" which is is what this hatchet job on the Kings English is?

But WTFDIK...

Really?

Took me a while to figure it out too!

I thought it was the Queen's English.

Nice job on the battery holder!

I learned the hard way years ago when I drove a Mazda. The battery clamp was missing but I drove it anyway. Driving through a parking lot near Seattle's fish market, the front end bobbed up and down. When I got home I found the battery dangling by the cables, inches away from the cooling fan.

Seattle's roads are crap, the cops are aggressive, and the drivers are morons. That town should just sink into the ocean, along with all the snobby retards who live there.
