I wanna put my .02 in. If you're going to be doing any heavy audio, get a yellow top. They can take the deep drain cycling. Both red and yellow are great batteries though.

 

get red top

 

...

 

Thanks again guys, I Installed the red top yesterday. Cranks strong.

P.S.- oh yeah,to answer the question,all stock drivetrain.(I don't launch) and have never changed my clutch yet , but will when I get my turbo in the spring

 

The Yellow Tops have a D51 / D51R that is a relatively small 9.25x5x9.

 

Incredible mileage and never changed the clutch yet either....are you the first owner of your car? And people say mitsubishi's don't last.....you can definitely vouch for it that it does last.

 

Second owner, I bought at 64K.

First battery replacement though.. So i got my money out of the old one.

 

Red top Ftw...nice mileage. Standard maintenance done?

 

Oil change every 3-5K, I get spillage from work, LOL...
Belts,Waterpump.etc every 60K.

Just keep driving until the doors fall off....

 

Nice. Do you drive hard or just cruise?

 

Normal highway commuting. i treat it like a reg Lancer (with A LOT More Power) A-B

Just every once in a while a WRX or STi comes up next to me......

 

check out Kinetik racing, that's what I use.

 

HOLY CRAP!!! Stock clutch? WOW

 

I've had 3 red and yellow tops go bad in a short period of time, I go with nothing but interstate now, plus they cut the shop a killer deal. And Holy hell alot of miles I'd like to see PIX of this car with that many miles and I'm sure other people would also...... for life............

 

Okay, I will post some new pics once I get it washed(snowed up here recently).

I was a little sceptical on the RedTops as I have seen two go bad this year on Brand New 430 Scuderia's. But I have found out that those redtops are from Italy, who know's how long they were sitting around.

Again guys, thanks for the advice.

Another note: after I changed the battery, I lost idle. It just kept dying at stoplights. I let it idle for about 10 minutes to I guess do an idle learn and it seems better, but I do stall every once in a while.
