I just picked up my valve cover from a friend that have welded it and removed the text on top of it. Just like we did on my old car, looks clean.

It will be power coated the coming week, not sure of the color yet though.

I received my new headlights today. They are custom ordered with dual projectors and 4x CCFL lights. As it’s not street legal with red lights in the front of the car here in Sweden I will hook the “evil eyes” to a separate switch and only use the white rings as DRL’s.

Now I just need to find some really good xenon kits for both high and low beams to finish the headlight project.

I have added a new page with desktop backgrounds. Currently there are only one background uploaded but more will come soon.

This first one is from last weekend, I took it up in Forsmark, Sweden just outside the nuclear power plants. Pretty cool environment.

You have the link to the desktop backgrounds on your right hand side ->

A few new bits and pieces has dropped in during the last days.
A bunch of SMD LED’s, clear side turn signals, red Ralliart gear knob and red tail lights.

The plan for the interior is to update all light bulbs to SMD LED’s, still with stock color just brighter. This will create an illusion of a newer car without anybody noticing the update.

The red gear knob from Ralliart is just there because I think an Evo VI shall have a Ralliart gear knob, easy as that. It might be teenage styling, but in this case I don’t care

For the exterior, clear side turn signals goes better with the sliver/black theme, the old orange ones didn’t fit in. The new red tail lights looks really good in picture and I was really pumped to get them installed today. But of course they sent me the wrong model, I got the ones for Mirage 00-02.
I have contacted the ebay seller, we’ll see tomorrow how he decides to handle this.

I almost forgot that I bought a new trunk lid without fog lights or wing holes, this will be equipped with a m3 style lip spoiler. Not sure how it will look, only way to really find out is to try. The lip should be here within a week or so.

My old project, zEvo 2.2l was a great success, way beyond anyone could have imagined when I begun. Now with all knowledge and experience from that project with me I begin the next.

Let me introduce to you – zEvo II, a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI TME.

The Evo VI TME is a bit special compared to the other evos, it was manufactured in a limited number and was a tribute to one of the greatest drivers in Rally.

Wikipedia
Yet another special edition Evolution VI was also released in 1999: the Tommi Mäkinen Edition, named after Finnish rally driver Tommi Mäkinen that had won Mitsubishi four WRC drivers championships. It featured a different front bumper, Red/Black Recaro seats (with embossed T. Mäkinen 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 ride height (with tarmac stages in mind), and a quicker steering ratio. Amongst other colours, the Evo VI came in either red (Tommi Mak only), white, blue, black or silver with optional special decals, replicating Tommi Mäkinen’s rally car’s colour scheme. This car is also sometimes referred to as an Evolution 6½, Evolution 6.5, or TME for short.

Nordic Tuner Awards (NTA) is a yearly competition mean to bring out the best tuning and styling cars in Scandinavia.

Each country (Sweden. Norway, Denmark and Finland) selects ten cars which will go to a big final at the end of the season.

I won the Swedish final as “Best Performance Car”.

Tokan took the evo for a spin in Finland, this is what he did… Why am I not surprised
