| ![]() As some people know I moved back to the states a year and a half back as I got a good job oppurtunity I couldnt pass up. I did my time there had fun and now I am back in mumbai. Upon my return I needed a vehicle real bad. My dad has a new auto fortuner and a new innova for my use but I needed something more enthusiastic. Keep in mind My parents sold my A4 after I left as well. I contacted karan shah at ks motorsports and told him I needed a nice project car. We came accross some lancer evo convertions but I didnt like any I saw. Then I came across this special car. ![]() 2000 evo 6. What makes this one more special than the other lancers converted into evos is that this is a imported one from thailand (only imported evo 6 as far as we know in india) which gives it full aluminum suspension and also makes it a true import so i wont have legal issues. This is a project as you can see and i will keep updating you guys with pics. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A close up pic of the legendary 4g63 engine! ![]() The mitsubishi claims the car makes 280hp to the crank, upon doing some research on evom and some other evo related forums this car has about 295-300hp to the crank because people dyno at 260-270 to o the wheels. Mitsubishi underated it because of insurance purposes and with a amazing power to weight ratio the insurance companies think its a unsafe car. The current go fast mods are:upgraded free flowing exhaust manifold (which should help the turbo spool faster), stainless steel catless downpipe, hks hi power exhaust, upgraded cam gears from a evo 8 which makes it reliable and makes good power, and a nice tune to help support the mods. The mods should make it have about 280-290 awhp which prolly makes the car have 320-330hp to the crank. Last edited by GTO : 10th January 2013 at 21:17.

The car got flatbed towed to the workshop because it needed new tires. The evo 5 wheels are from the shop ks put on to drive the car around and get it moving while I gotnew tires. |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() The EVO6 is: - The Best EVO ever - The purest. Minimal electronics, 100% driving feel - Hands down the best looking of all EVO generations. This is an outstanding project car and you are truly lucky to get your hands on the beast. If I were you, I'd just focus on getting her back to pristine + stock condition. It's more than quick in stock form. My focus would be mechanical perfection over modifying to chase horsepower. I can't ever forget the first day I saw 9009 being ripped. Link. ![]() |

I have been seeing this car every month since Feb 2009. However, in the last few months i noticed it hadn't been running and the tyres were flat. I always wondered what was wrong, and what would happen to it. Glad to see a BHPian picked it up ![]() I had posted a pic here when i first saw it : http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/super-...ml#post1167749 Quote:

| ![]() Lovely!! Glued to this thread now. To be honest, I mistook the first pic for a standard Lancer with an EVO kit. Then I scrolled down... ![]() |

| ![]() One of my all time favorite cars. The 6.5 is the ultimate rally evo for the road. Officially evo 6 tomi Makkinen edition. If you don't mind, what did the car cost. Am trying to figure out what I need to save up to get myself an evo. Do not want a converted lancer as you will miss out on a lot of the finer details that make evo's special |
