Should give you some people's opinions on it... but personally I'd just put it in the trunk. It's a quick job; and it's well worth it.

what group size is the miata battery?
I know civic batteries are also small. they're group 51 or 51R and is about half the size of a conventional battery

Go with the Miata battery. I haven't had any problems with it in the year or so that I've been using it.

Starts fine in cold temps.

my miata batt works good here in Michigan, had it for 2 years.

yeah i think i might definitely have to do this... anyone with pics of their miata battery hooked up would be helpful. my cold pipe obv is right where my original battery would go so i would like to see exactly how it fits in so i can buy one and hook it up ASAP
