Went to the local Sears auto centre to get a Diehard battery for the car. However, when they tried to install it, they said that it won't fit into the compartment because the new battery is too small. They phone the local Porsche dealer and they wanted $300 for the battery(same dealer that quoted $430 installed). I phoned my local Porsche shop and they told me they can have one installed for $140, so I went down to get it installed.
When they pulled out the new battery, it was the same small size as the Diehard one! Apparently, there is a second nut brace hidden under the original battery that could accomadate the smaller battery.
I didn't pay anymore since the Diehard was the same price as the shop.
Just a note for those looking to replace their battery. Don't let the small size fool you. You can probably get the same battery from Costco for about $70cdn. On well, its done.
