My latest engine bay.

I just relocated my battery to the boot recently.

Now, I felt like it was mistake to relocate the battery since the engine looks kinda empty.

Before :



After :

The funny thing the car handles much better after I relocated the battery to the rear. I read it somewhere before this dude in UK does the same thing and got similar results. That guy was using an Evo 6 shouldn't be much different with my TME.



That's where I relocated mine

Bro, now my car looks a bit ugly since I am using Evo 7 's rim.



I would probably change to either Advan RG1 or RG2 or Ralliart or wedsport SA70 rims.. I haven't decided yet.

But I'll post the pictures as soon as I change the rims.

wow, that trunk relocation looks very nice and neat! except someone vendalized w/ spray paint! J/K...

I'd then leave it there. I'd relocated to the right side of the trunk, maybe that's why it felt unbalanced. Wait, are you on RHD or LHD?

Mine is RHD .. Maybe the chassis set-up is different. I know for a fact that CT9A is more tail happy compare to the CP9A.

So far, my friend and I both using TME done the same thing with similar results. No problem as far as the handling department is concern.
