euro car parts have it in stock in Glasgow for £74.40.
If you go there and the reg on your one doesn't call up the right one, use the reg off my UKDM (in my avatar).
EDIT: you can't read it in my avatar
check on my build thread linked in my sig.
(They seem to have learnt that their system called up the wrong battery on JDM ludes, because the reg on my JDM one now doesn't call up any battery, whereas before it did - the wrong type)

so i went to my local SRS and even though the correct battery in the system wasn't big enough amp wise, i mananged to get one for £38 woot.
Also to add to the Honda dealer debacle, i had a phone call this morning from the dealer, Honda prelude JDM batteries are now discontinued and Honda will no longer supply the part.
thanks for all the advice. I will hopefully get it up and running and start posting pictures of the car.

Would I benefit from using bigger battery if I have quite powerful amp? As far as I remember my battery is 70ah. What if I put 80ah instead? Would it harm anything?
Has anyone tried one of these thingies?
