I think he needs to first find out why it's call Tommi Makinen edition meaning he needs to know who Tommi Makinen is.Then he would find out the awesome heritage of this car and appreciate it more.
JDM electric folding mirrors have been in their cars since the 80s mate, just the other car makers are catching up. There is a reason why 90s JDM are still going strong. Good channel dude
@Molineux88 I'm afraid you're the exception not the rule especially if it's a Lexus. If a Toyota Starlet hot has it very strange way a lexus wouldn't Sure it's a JDM car and not a UK one?
The 6 has always been the Evo of choice every little issue from earlier cars was perfected and the 6 is perfect. Mines a 6 gsr running near 400hp even today still super quick so responsive.
It actually DOES have cup holders. It took me almost a year to find them in my car but when I was doing some wiring in the dash I grabbed the apolstery in front of the shifter and out slid popout cupholders. They just hide away very clean when you aren't using them.
The T.M.E was designed to keep the Evo VI competitive in the WRC, to make any body changes Mitsubishi had to make 2500 production cars minimum because they were still following group A rules. Also the rear wing which both the VI & VI TME share was deemed to have a unfair advantage with its upper & lower blades, so the bottom one was blanked off on the rally car.
Not just that, I'd heard years ago T.M.E was also made to extend evo6's shelf life as Mitsubishi were not allowed to homologate evo7 earlier as they were sanctioned due to recall fiasco on previous Mitsubishi models.. Love the Tommi, had nearly all the evo's and it's the only one I've kept.
It does have cupholders! Under the lighter, its kinda tricky to find but there it is. Interrior is almost identical to evo 4 and i have one of those beuties.
This is by far the best brutally honest you've done mate. Love the channel keep up the great content i love seeing the channel grow as fast as it is. You're smashing it!!!!
Dont kow if you know .. but a classic import sti should also have the electric folding mirrors. Think it has something to do with the parking space in japan .. or lack of and also they have cup holders :)
EVO 5 and 6 will always be the most special and best out of them all, i wish i bought a red tommi makkinen 2 years ago when i bought my 5 as they were around the 12k mark then! always preffered the 5's looks and wanted an early EVO in yellow, but nowadays red tommi makkinens are more like 40k as opposed to 25k
they don't steer it can brake any wheel to keep the car from spinning out and send the power to the others to keep you on the road \ track and not in a hedge \ barrier
It does have cup holders. Below the stereo they pull out. Do some research as well on the colours. Blue and Black are the most rare. There were a lot more than 200 made it is a grey area.
Yeah dude it is! It's Aaron's car!! Don't think it's got Ralli Art windscreen decal but I know it defo got the Ralli Art mud flaps,wheels are fairly similar though,only visible differences are this one has no spoties and a screamer pipe up front!!..😉👍
So some exhaust gases come out the side at the front and some exhaust comes out the back like a normal car? Never come across that before. Am i misunderstanding?
I'm running a evo 6 at 650 whp, and quiet honestly the H pattern was just to hard, ended up with sequential dog box and makes it juuuust about tame-able. Just needs heaps of seat time and some space to get used to the quirks. Good vid 👌
Australia got the RS II.. Electric windows, Electric wing mirrors (though they didn't fold) Push button Airconditioning (not climate control) Brembos, AYC, Recaro interior... Best spec.. kept the weight down whilst having some sort of luxury kit.
I've had 2 of them in the past. My first was an official UK Car brand new and its number was 030 funny enough. The one your in is a UK car a s they had the plaques. Mine was a 51 plate. I always promised myself another at some point so 6 years ago I bought one after 6 months of looking for a good one. That was another silver car as well. Same as my first. I only used it on a weekend as a play thing. It had only done 25K Miles and I let it go a few years ago for buttons for an RS4. Very Good ones now are fetching 50 grand. They are special cars I never had anything as good before I got into them or after I got rid of my last one.
Try on getting your hands on the most ridiculous Evo special edition ever made. The Evo IX Jackie Chan Special Edition. They only made 50, so good luck finding one.
There are some nice Ralliart parts for these cars. ProDrive (UK) also does some nice work. 300-500hp is pretty typical, but you can get more quite easily. Evo 5 was the best but can be harsh. This 6.5 is ok, more refined. Over the years the competition ability of these cars went down. Same for WRX.
The tuning on this car seems off almost like a ratty RX7 with a massive turbo. Smooth it out and you should get more torque and pull. It was not uncommon for WRC to get 500 ft/lbs at the 300hp. The gear should pull you into the next with continuous pull. . -You have a bunch of lag. On a race track against race engines would be literally falling back into traffic in a very dangerous way.
I'm Lee and to be brutally honest I don't know what I'm on about !! best car he's reviewed yet I'm surprised someone let him drive it wouldn't trust the spastic to push a wheelbarrow
The 90s was king for the evolution,scooby Doo and Cosworths mate.Shes a beauty for sure.From my experience no car is perfect Lad.I Call it character 😉 My 2009 TTs doesn’t have fold in mirrors,it’s a optional upgrade on mine mate.
Cool car that is. Would make it difficult to choose between a Evo 8 or 9 MR compared to this. You'd really have to love an Evo to save up £16k for one.
Mate you need to do research on cars before you make a video. The EVO 6 is the most collectable Evo and red one is the colours of WRC. I do not know if you are really mad on cars but how can you not know who Tom Mak is. Even if you in to Subaru you would know as Subaru and Evo was rivals..so guys like Richard Burns and Colin McRae were rivals. Also you say 25g for an old car is a lot l..it is not. It is Normal... RS500s fetch over 100g. You seem more like a BMW or Audi Driver as most of those drivers are not really into cars and do not understand the culture. Every new car will be old at some point but some are Iconic
Evo 6 Tommi makkinen edition is to celebrate Tommi Makkinen the rally driver who drove the Evo 6... He drove a red one you mentioned proberly why there worth more... Correct me if I'm wrong I'm sure these where built because of him... Keep up the good work Lee great review

I like how all the money is invested in it and the windows cracked 😂
tripz dnb power first 😂
Proper car there Lee. I've always like the Evo6 and this is a cracking example. Much prefer these over the Subaru.
You shouldn’t be aloud to even be in the car scene if you didn’t even know what a mak was. Dear dear🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ wanna be
Amen!!! Best comment ever!
He’s clearly a boy racer at make Car Intustiasts look bad.👎
The pop and bagging on that car sounds like a war zone 👍👍👍
The ignorance here is amazing. Do some proper research before you start reviewing a legend ffs
cup holders is behind the gear stick and under the headunit just slides out

There are cup holders. I have a black TME. It's under the stereo ashtray binnacle, it slides out.
The videos really have improved so much since you decided to take TH-cam more seriously, it’s nice to see you enjoying yourself so much also, RESPECT
DanSlan Thankyou!
My old car..I owned this vehicle 4 years..enjoyed every min
That Evo looks mental! fair play to you lee for being given the keys, these reviews just keep getting better!
This is by far the best brutally honest you've done mate. Love the channel keep up the great content i love seeing the channel grow as fast as it is. You're smashing it!!!!
SoggyyyPlays legend mate!
I can tell you aint used to a reasonably fast car 🤣
He's shitting bricks
There is a lot of turbo lag...
Evo 6 was always and still. Is my favourite evo
Cant afford a mens pair of jeans?
Dont kow if you know .. but a classic import sti should also have the electric folding mirrors. Think it has something to do with the parking space in japan .. or lack of and also they have cup holders :)
My 1996 Glanza had fold in mirrors, pi55es me off when a modern car doen't have em
One of your best videos so far mate, quality job Lee
That is set up so well sounds amazing
11:18 - and now you see why it has such a notchy gearbox lmaoo
The Tommi makenins turbo was made out of titanium which spools faster bloke from import company told me
Joe Slater yeah I forgot to mention that! Damn! Had it written down in notes as well 😂😩
The turbo is smaller than the normal evo 6
@@kristianmorris7454 are you sure
Joe Slater yeah that’s why it spools faster
@@kristianmorris7454 I was told that was down to the fact they use titanium
Best video on the channel yet pal👊🏼
Want one! 😍😍😍 love the brutally honest reviews, can't wait for the next one
One word needed
WOW

Tehre is cup holder for two, it is under the cigarettlighter. Is the same interior as the colt.

I think that car or a very similar model in emerdale

Goals for you Lee 👌
All Evo 6's have a twin blade rear spoiler mate, mine did that's for sure !
I love how you're there giving some opinions and facts on the car then all of a sudden "Ay up got a straight here BRRRRRRT"
TheDan461 don’t waste an opportunity 😉
So some exhaust gases come out the side at the front and some exhaust comes out the back like a normal car? Never come across that before. Am i misunderstanding?

Isn't the Silver one the most rare out of these?

I’m a Ford fan, Cosworth, and any RS, plus I’ve owned loads of TVRs, but........I’m not a car snob, I love them all
My 1991 pulsar gtir had fold in mirrors 🎉
Sweet ride !!
My 1988 HR31 Skyline had power windows and fold in mirrrors AND air conditioning.
Awesome car mate, much better than the Subaru and I’m an impreza man! Did an old p1 or type r not take your fancy from the same era?
Where can I get your sweater Lee?
Good review Lee this is such a iconic car 😊
The car sounds epic
Great video Lee!
evo 3 rs and evo 4 rs are the elite models

Prices all wrong (reseach)?
Brilliant video mate👍🏻 much better than watching someone love absolutely everything about every car😂

That’s serious machine your very lucky to drive one
Around Rivington ?
Awesome Evo, that thing is rapid!!
Cool car that is. Would make it difficult to choose between a Evo 8 or 9 MR compared to this. You'd really have to love an Evo to save up £16k for one.

Actual proper reviews rather than a FYD arselick. Quality vids 👌🏽
Awesome review!
Looks like roads round adlington and rivington way. thrashed my 9 FQ360 and R35 round those parts many a time 😂
Tme for 16k that's nice.... Now they are like 50k
Steering is hardly different between TME and GSR, 2.1 vs 2.3 ratios.
Evo 6 Tommi makkinen edition is to celebrate Tommi Makkinen the rally driver who drove the Evo 6... He drove a red one you mentioned proberly why there worth more... Correct me if I'm wrong I'm sure these where built because of him... Keep up the good work Lee great review
Stephen Thompson yesh I mentioned they were built to commemorate his 4th consecutive rally champ
1.10 wtf!?
Tell me where I can find a normal one for £6k unless it’s a rusty heap, maybe in 2008 but not now!
My old car ! Ownded it for 2 years
