Mitsubishi Evo VI Tommi Makinen Edition

[@johnnyshami5318]

The Mitsubishi 6.5 TME is the best car of all time hands down!

[@phasehalide]

Love it, thank you for pointing out what a beautiful drivers car this is. You point out all the reasons why i love my lancer but mainly for the driving experience/feel compared. I have watched and lived through the evolution of Mitsubishi growing up in the 90s and respected every Evolution released mainly in that era. The Evolution is renowned as a historical rally car and i take pride in that. I have come to know the 6/6.5 chassis very well and i have two i take care of. Have done a lot of work to it in the 5 years i have had it spent so many nights weeks learning so many things working on it improving, i enjoy driving it every day. Yes the Red TME Edition and Gunmetal/Graphite A39 color codes are my favorites.

[@allangrant1326]

Ive owned mine since ‘03 and still love driving him! Got the red with the stripes too👌

[@DrPittenstein]

Miss mine to be honest. Epic driver's car.

[@lukekindred1999]

Awsome vid man. Good to see so videos of standard evos now and again!

[@taylormcgregor8342]

I was in one of these today and i absolutely amazing. It sucks you in the seats and just sticks to the road

[@steveblackbird]

Great Video! I've had my Australian spec Makinen Edition for 14 years, bought brand new, just under 22,000km on the clock now. Never driven in the rain, absolute garage queen. I love this car so much. No car I have ever driven has put a smile on my face as the 6.5. As a point to point car... even 15 years on.. not a lot will come close! She's not refined a terrible amount, but one drive in a stock example (as mine is.. completely standard) you'll understand... thankyou for the vid! BTW.. love the kids faces in the back seat when you boosted hahahaha says it all!!!

[@DrPittenstein]

Thanks Steve, wow, people in the UK would pay very strong money for a car like yours, there can't be more than a handful of original cars with that sort of mileage left. We'd love to see some videos about it when you get the chance. Enjoy!

[@phasehalide]

You have a Gem! Enjoy it!

[@DrPittenstein]

Thanks! I'm driving it to the 'Evo' triangle in North Wales this weekend, looking forward to it. Cheers!

[@KERBROES]

I will kill for a car like that

[@ColonelJohnmatrix1000]

Fantastic review.......the Mac is a legend without doubt and will go down as one of the greatest drivers cars in history.

[@Commenter580]

God that makes waiting to pick up mine in March a lot harder.. lovely car mate, loved watching the video!

[@DrPittenstein]

+OctaneRSIM not so long to wait now. It will be worth it, fantastic drivers cars.

[@Commenter580]

Luckily not! I'm counting the days by now

[@yipzone]

Gave me goosebumps watching it. Thank you. Salute.

[@DrPittenstein]

+YipZone thanks, love the avatar! I have ordered some factory diamond decals for my rear wing too, but quite like it without at the moment, nice to have the option.

[@Bombaclock]

8:36 "who wants to see some turbo?" Hahaha parenting done right,parenting level-expert! :D

[@morganbagert]

Just found your channel, and like it a lot thanks for the videos. As for homologation specials the only one I can afford is the Celica GT4.

[@DrPittenstein]

Sunny GTiR? Celica GT4 is a great car and looking very good value right now. Sure to go up in value, championship winning car too!

[@ATomRileyA]

Thanks for making that, such a great car.

[@supertouring22]

I so wanted one of these but they are very rare now so ended up with an E46 M3. Watching this video is making me question that decision. Nice video.

[@DrPittenstein]

Thanks. M3 is the better all rounder in standard form but the Evo is a rally icon, a bit more raw and can quickly surpass it with some mods. Tuning parts are very high quality, huge choice to suit different budgets and really transform the car into something really special and crazy fast. The only downside is you never get your money back on mods and it gets very addictive!

[@supertouring22]

+DrPittenstein i agree on mods, spent a fortune on my Scoob and saw none of it back, but what a car. no regrets. keeping m3 std.

[@volvofreak86]

I love the wing on the Evo VI it is sexy :), the only evo i wouldn't mind owning

[@mattiasini]

What a wonderful car..!thank you for the video..Nice!

[@DrPittenstein]

+mattiasini thanks for watching! Cheers!

[@coltallic3114]

Evo 6.5, my favourite Evo ever.

[@maboh]

Awesome mate! Thank you!

[@EvoXfreak]

Wow! Lucky you, thanks for posting this, great work

[@mypearlvn]

As much as I love the red makinen the blue is sooooo much better, purely for the fact I own a blue one. good video these are definitely an underestimated 4 cylinder with great potential with a simple retune and e85

[@greatestcontentofalltime5065]

Nice video, the 6.5 is a very iconic car!!

[@DrPittenstein]

Yes proper road and rally legend

[@greatestcontentofalltime5065]

@@DrPittenstein How much power are you approx running?

[@DrPittenstein]

@@greatestcontentofalltime5065 not much more than stock only changed exhaust a little over 300bhp

[@greatestcontentofalltime5065]

@@DrPittenstein Car goes well, your videos are awesome with the 22b.

[@DrPittenstein]

@@greatestcontentofalltime5065 much appreciated

[@ape661]

Evo 6 is a very nice car. I was looking for a TME here in New Zealand but it’s almost impossible. Bought a standard Evo 6 and it’s amazing! Only 80,000kms on it, engine runs mint and it stock standard apart from the rims. Best weekend car I’ve driven. As for rally cars, I’m looking to grab a GT4 as well because why not have a good line up of cars to have fun with. Great video mate!

[@richiw]

Enjoyed that - thank you.

[@syahirsaid2733]

i love this car

[@DrPittenstein]

+syahir said Me too! Even cooler now than when it was new. Parked outside Tescos yesterday and it was like WTF! Looks straight off a rally stage. Thanks for watching!

[@ksm1985]

Enjoyed this

[@mohammedchoudery1112]

Great car...great vid!!!

[@DrPittenstein]

+John Davies Cheers John! KZbin needs more Evo videos besides the usual 1000bhp nutter bastard cars. They are great cars in stock form too so trying to spread the word!

[@lewissears2976]

great video, really enjoyed it

[@roadsterspirit]

Great video! Please share more!

[@sambutcher4344]

Great video! Can't wait for it to meet my 22B

[@DrPittenstein]

+Sam Butcher Likewise Sam, let's make it happen!

[@evoveetar4290]

Sound Good😊

[@MiLo-li5lx]

Absolutely astonishing ride. Pls contact me if you happen to sell the ride. It's been a dream for me to own one of these. Thanks for the video! Miklos from Germany.

[@DrPittenstein]

Thanks Miklos. I was thinking about selling, long story but have decided to keep it and forge the engine instead! I think there's a LHD one for sale, they are super-rare, but it is white. Same great car otherwise.

[@MiLo-li5lx]

Yep. But many miles and too much.. Around 22tsd... Maybe with 30k miles, but with 70k? Dontknow. Thx Anyway!

[@MiLo-li5lx]

A dream...

[@theant9821]

a focus rs - dad is the driver. any group a car - dad is the rally driver. going fast is all well and good, but there's satisfaction in the story that homologation created. I'm saving up for either one of these, a 3door Sierra cosworth or an integrale (if the weather was dependable). i couldn't care less for the new rs, its just a rapid (estate) car, id rather have an old rs4 estate.

[@DrPittenstein]

Good point, well made!

[@mrchow91x]

the best car ever

[@eoin730]

great video! will you ever consider doing a video on the ford rs cosworths?

[@DrPittenstein]

+eoin730 Yes I would love the opportunity to drive and film some Cossies again. I was the proud owner of a moonstone blue Saphire Cosworth (RWD) and also an Escort Cosworth. Such great cars. I might still have some video lying around but it wouldn't be good quality. The dream is still to drive an RS500, I never have but with values sky high I probably never will now. :(

[@eoin730]

DrPittenstein old video of cars is worth its weight in gold so if you feel it you should upload it. Yep the RS500 is outer atmosphere with its current price!

[@gigisagma5676]

το ήθελα, το θέλω, θα το θέλω παντα!!!!!

[@wisniorek]

Great tribute to our beloved car. On a different note, where did you get hold of the boot garnish lights all in red? I prefer those to the original ones which continue with reverse light...

[@DrPittenstein]

+wisniorek Thanks! The full red garnish lights actually came with the car. They are the type with electrical connections for light bulbs in. The other more common type are just reflectors. Actually I just swapped them for some of the half red half silver ones. I might swap them back at some point as I agree they are quite nice.

[@wisniorek]

Well, if they are up for grabs please don't hesitate to get in touch:)

[@DrPittenstein]

OK, will do. Good to know.

[@capturedbytee]

Nice! :D

[@ciarand2823]

That's it... I'm spraying my white gsr red

[@Motorsportsinjapan]

Nice video :)

[@DrPittenstein]

+Motorsports in Japan Thanks this car was in Japan until this Summer. Soon you guys will be wanting all the Maks back, the UK is taking all them all!

[@DrPittenstein]

Here's the Mak at the Evo Triangle. Epic weekend! kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6iVfZmmo9hmgbM

[@PutinIsKing]

I need to buy this car before the price blows up

[@DrPittenstein]

Red ones have already shot up. £50+k for the best now. Black, blue, white and silver TME's still available for more attractive prices. Get it inspected first, underbody rust is a problem for cars used in the UK during the winter. They just get cooler looking every year though. Get one bought.

[@freelifenride16]

thought i recognised those roads!! just out of yeovil.

[@DrPittenstein]

Yes I used to keep the car down near there before my garage was built. Some good Evo roads down that way.

[@DrPittenstein]

Just posted a follow up video entitled: "The 10 Coolest things about the Evo VI TME" here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqO3fIJqaaynqLc Cheers!

[@DrPittenstein]

+Strahd VonZarovich ha!

[@DrPittenstein]

+Strahd VonZarovich No but we have a special smile every time we exit a roundabout in 2nd gear ;) Congrats they look great in silver too and I would put the decals on any colour Mak they all look good. You can get special ones for the silver cars, they look great. Please take some video when you get the car. Not enough good stuff on here. Enjoy!

[@steveblackbird]

It's more of a "knowing" wave as we drive by one another... only Makinen Edition drivers understand lol

[@theant9821]

without homologation for motorsport, fast cars are just fast cars, the motorsport pedigree makes them special. I'm not interested any more, and won't be until homologation returns. like with ford, three focus have worn the rs uniform but the cosworth is the last to earn it's stripes.

[@DrPittenstein]

Very much agree. Imagine the cars we'd have had from Citroen, Ford, VW and others in recent years if they'd been forced to make road versions? It would have been another generation of epic drivers cars.

[@michaelmcmike8726]

why do autotrader reackon evo6 tme is 440bhp and 0-60 in 4.4? also your a shocking driver,sorry but you need to take it to a track mate.good vid tho

[@lukekindred1999]

The evo 6 tme is 280 bhp and 0-60 in 4.2

[@michaelmcmike8726]

Luke Kindred they also say the evo9 fq330 only does 0-60 in 4.7. why would they make a newer model with 50bhp more power/GO SLOWER????????????????????

[@lukekindred1999]

michael mcmike well, the fq330 does it in about the same time as the tme. The fq360 evo 9 does it in 3.9. You've got to take into account the weight

[@michaelmcmike8726]

so a evo 360 onnnlyjust beats the tme with almost a quarter more power? is that what your telling me...how much heavier could the evo9 be? prob got 8 refugees stowed away lol

[@lukekindred1999]

+michael mcmike probably has tbh 😁 the weight difference is because when the evo 7 was brought out, it used the cedia body which brought forward a lot of weight and size

[@daikonn-hotal]
