Hey I wanna get an Optima Blue Top Battery. I do not know which size to get it in tho. Our car has a 75/35 size battery but they dont make the blue top in those. Does any1 know whhic size blue top to get? If any1 can give me a model number that would be great!

I believe its the D34M. it has the 4 posts on it. 2 for your regular terminals and 2 for accessory positive and negative. You will have to stretch the existing wires to work for this battery, they do not have one that is like our stock battery terminals. The 34M is not a deep cycle which is why its cheaper. just depends on what you're looking to use it for to choose which one you want to buy.

How would i stretch the original wires?

[SinSere]

Well I shouldn't have said "stretch". More like re-arranging. They will work without modification, but will be pulled tighter than they would normally.

but is it safe?

[SinSere]

yeah, I haven't had any problems.

And do i need anything else to mount it? I have an 02 4cyl G. I dont need a mounting bracket?

your factory mounting hardware should be sufficient
