Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI by Mine's [Premium] 2000

[Tsukishima]

The Lancer Evolution VI had been originally released as a rally-based vehicle, but it also garnered a reputation for being being an extraordinary machine on paved racetracks. Therefore, there were many aftermarket versions offered to set lap records at places like Tsukuba Circuit. The Mine's Lancer Evo VI was one of the most formidable examples. Mine's, one of the most famous tuners in Japan, turned the already potent road machine into a firebreathing monster.

What made Mine's cars attractive was that in addition to being high-powered, the company kept the vehicle's drivability and civility intact. The case was no different in the Evo. It featured a turbine engine that pumped out extra power, but tuned to produce lots of low- and mid-range torque. The turbocharger was swapped in favor of HKS's GT2835. Changes were made to breathing, too, with custom exhaust parts making the car not only more powerful, but better sounding. A new ECU, the VX-ROM, was also installed.

Mine's swapped the stock suspension shocks for Ohlins height-adjustable dampers, which is part of the company's Esta suspension package. The front and rear stabilizer bars were also reinforced in order to keep body roll minimal. After all the changes, the all-wheel-drive Evo became a street-able race car, one that you could drive to the circuit, race, and then drive home. It was magnificently balanced, without the understeer associated with the stock car.

I would be glad if anyone could help me with finding better resolution images of the real car.

aftermarket versions ... Mine's, one of the most famous tuners in Japan

So we're needing a retitle on that then.

Maybe you could just ask someone good at photoshoping (not me) to make an Evo VI look like the Mine's version.

It is not...

The front bumper and headlight of the cars are different, I guess that's an Evo V (sorry if I'm wrong, I'm no Evo specialist).

The problem is that I don't know anyone who is friendly with me that got the skills to do that, and I ain't willing to go asking around the internet for someone to do it. In spite of all of this it is still a great idea.

Hey, the guy who "owns" the flickr account (which this pic comes from) swears this is a VI. But modified to a customer's request.

But hey, it's a flickr so take it with a grain of salt or two.

That's an Evo VI TME, or at least something made up to look like one:

The headlights are off a V, but the airdam and wing are VI. Evo V looks like this one:
