Thanks Billman for the roadside assistance
I was driving in a sportive manner today (my mistake - in light rain and leaves), I came upon a curve and thought I could control the car with a bit of slide. The rear end came out a bit, so I stayed constant on the throttle and tried to steer the car properly as gently as I could. Then the car started turning the other way and I was like sh*t, the car started spinning and I pegged both brake and clutch to the floor. The car came to rest on the side of the road facing the opposite direction - no damage whew! But then the engine wouldn't start as the cranks were extremely slow. Asked Billman - he told me to turn the crankshaft pulley to ensure oil wasn't on top of the engine. It turned fine. Luckily, a couple of helpful guys in a BMW had pulled over with jumpers and helped me start the car - alright! Then guess what? The car got stuck in mud and couldn't get out lol. In total, about 5 cars had pulled over and helped me push the car out onto the road. If you people ever come here and read this, just like to say thanks again for helping me out in the rain and moderate traffic.
And a big thanks to Billman for his technical expertise and patience. He knows the car very well and you would be doing yourself a huge disservice if you don't give him business and have your S2000 serviced by him.

All my customers get stuff like this once they get in the door Btw, the fact that the car cranked fine during the jump probably means the problem lies in the battery, right?

What's the best lightweight quality battery I can get to replace the 2003 OEM battery? I'm not into CCA or charge capacity bragging rights (since they usually tend to weight alot), but a good weight reduction would be nice for performance. Thanks.
