Yup I'm still here....havn't quite gathered up the courage to finally submit
my order :-)

The circuit won't be connected up to a car though.....(although it will be
connected to a car battery)

What w rating should the resistor be in that circuit? As big as possible I'm
guessing.....

given that a 7805 is good for upto tha 1A and assuming you want to use
all of that, 2W would be plenty.

you may want to use a higher resistance (and larger wattage)
so that the resistor burtns more of the excess voltage leaving less
to heat the 7805.

If that battery isn't going to be connected to a generator (like in an
automobile) the transzorb may not be needed, (it won't do any harm
leaving it in though).
