the 99's were red any way
Yet another special edition Evolution VI was also released in 1999: the Tommi Makinen edition, named after Finnish rally driver Tommi Makinen that had won Mitsubishi four WRC drivers championships. It featured a different front bumper, Red/Black Recaro seats (with embossed T. Makinen logo), 17" ENKEI white wheels, a leather MOMO steering wheel and shift knob, a titanium turbine that spooled up quicker, front upper strut brace, lowered with tarmac stages in mind, a quicker lock to lock and amongst other colours, came in an exclusive shade of red with special decals, replicating Tommi Makinen's rally car's colour scheme. This car is also sometimes referred to as an Evolution 6½ or Evolution 6.5.

My favorite evo out of them all!! It is pretty much the last of the true
WRC Evolutions. They had one on the cover of sports compact not that long ago. It wasn't as fast as the IX but I think it would still be the one evo to own. Along with a evo 3.
I don't know if it is even posible to turn a Mirage into an Evo VI.
My wall paper!!!

it is possible to turn on into a evo IV-VI they are just like my car all the mounting points are there to put in the awd system and 4g63 in it. there are a few of the mirage guys that have done it already. But non of them are tommi mac's because of how rare it is to find oem panels from one.
here is one that is for sale it just need to be finnished. It was vis car to start with.
this what it looked like when he bought it before it was taken apart for a rhd swap and awd swap

Why is there only 2 pedals on the EVO X when the ad says it's a 5 spd manual transmission?
EDIT: Nevermind, just finished reading the ad AND noticed that the pics are showing a silver and a red one.

Looks nice.
Is the first picture what he wanted to make it look like? The bumpers are different so thats why I am asking.
The other question about this swap is how do you get the rear fender flare for the car? Do you have to switch quarter pannels?
Not a bad project to work on.

I just learned today that evo Xs mount the battery in the trunk straight from the factory. Kewl!
