Apparently I'm either the only person with a bad battery compartment, or this isn't an issue.
I haven't had a functional "stock" battery securing point since I bought the car 4 years ago. When I realized this was causing the clunk in my trunk, I strapped it down with 2 thick rubber ties, sometimes called "Tarp tiedowns".
Now I'm prepping the car for my very first track day, and I'm trying to eliminate things that will keep me from passing tech.
The traps I'm using right now don't let the battery budge a cm, but they also look suspect, and are tied down in suspect places, like the notch used to secure the plastic cover.
In searching the forums I only found this guy trying to secure an Optima battery because the stock point wouldn't work. For me, I don't have a stock point and am wondering how finicky techs will be about "alternative" solutions.
Thanks guys!
