I couldn't find any new place to mount one in the engine bay, have you discovered a location?

our transmission mount bracket has the bolt holes for an Evo battery tray, but you would need a modified intake. It won't make more room, you'd only have the same room in a different spot...since my intake is quite modified, I plan on trying to work something out, since I have an Evo tray, but I've been way too busy with maintenance lately for doing any more modifications, plus my BOV location may be my Achilles heel... a mini battery might be your answer.

like under the strut bar? that's not really an ideal place for the battery...the evo 8/9 mini battery tray mounts in the same location as the stock battery, which on the Evo is adjacent to the relay box.
