I used to live in Mons and now live in the UK and have been just to lazy to change it. If you need a good shop and depending on were you live in know quite a few trust worthy shops. One changed my clutch/flywheel in under 2hrs and only charged me 140euro.
I live in Galmaarden,good shop adresses are always welcome.
140€ is extremely cheap for a clutch/flywheel job.

the ACD reservoir is in front in US spec evo IX because they deleted the intercooler spray reservoir which is still present in UK spec evo IX.

Does anyone know how difficult it would be to put the ACD reservoir in the trunk? Seems like it would make my perrin intake filter fit better

I checked my friend EDM Evo 8, and they are all in the trunk.
It seems pretty straight forward... all line goes to trunk and that's it ( I think, when looking from under the car . )

I'm also getting the Perrin intake so guess I'm lucky.Have you already bent the reservoir bracket forward?This should give your intake some more room.

In Holland it's even worse.High performance vehicles get taxed really heavy there.
New EVO X sells here for about 43500€,in Holland it costs 62700€ !Thats nearly 78000$ !!
To give you another idea how bad prices are over there,a car like the Ferrari 599 GTB for example costs 248000€ here vs. 349500€ in Holland.Thats over a 100000€ price difference!
