from other forum. hmm panasonic battery, why not energizer or optima lol.

Panasonic is what I had stock in my Mazda :P

Does a washer fluid reservoir really weight enough to justify relocation, especially since now you have to run the little hoses all the way to the front? weird.

me likes the divorced wastegate on the turbine outlet, wonder if the downpipe is divorced stock?

Wheres the spare tire go?

The trunk looks quite compact with the battery sitting up in it like that. .. but I reckon there's still room for the spare tire right in the center under the carpet.

The Chevy Cobalt / Pontiac G5 has the battery in the trunk but it's underneath the carpet next to the spare. I guess AWD drivetrain stuff must have gotten in the way of doing that for the Evo.

Is there a spare? They might try to get away with a 12 V compressor and a can of sealant.

According to the Spec sheet, there is one.

or worse.. pull a Cooper S and use run flats >_< ugh

my charger has the battery in the trunk along with the spare next to it. as well a fuse box it would be bad in a rear end collision.

Panasonic batteries aren't too bad.

Although I'll be replacing mine with something smaller and lighter to cut weight.

I like that the downpipe has a divorced WG, however, that thing looks hella restrictive. I'll definitely be going with a downpipe on mine.

The turbo impeller doesn’t look good once again for rallies as the earlier Evo 9 kept breaking the moment it was fixed with the 32mm restrictor and ended up using the Evo 8 turbo which was very strong. Hope the Evo X turbo would hold the 32mm restrictor….

I'll be replacing mine later down the road with one of these....

Its about 20-25lbs lighter.

The pic doesn't load for me, but I'm assuming it's one of those thin batteries?

Im sure youve heard about buschurracing.com

Yup. Very cool. I'm definitely game for one of those.

That is significant weight savings. What's the price?

I can think of another way to save weight, and it involves me getting on my tread mill...

thats pretty awesome, take the spare tire and the ranch out, thats like 100 lb? then a new light weight exhaust to finish it off!

i would keep the spare just in case.or unless you got run flat tires.

run flat tires.

I just vomited a little bit

and it involves me getting on my tread mill...
