Henning had the car in 2003 and drove it in Finland and also in the gravel rounds of the norwegian championship, winning the final round Rally Hedmarken. The car has had two more owners, and especially Bernhard Kongsrud was successful on national level with it. Henning is happy with being reunited with this car, as it has a very interesting history. He is driving the Rally Finnskog mostly for fun, but also to get some snow practice before the Swedish Rally.
    I wonder if thats why there were two different phases of the Evo 6 road car?

    It looks like he is doing something with her head/neck support. But that isn't the Hans device. It almost looks like the Hutchinson hybrid, but not quite. Not a fan of that system

    Adjust me if it is not right. But I think Mækinen Edition, has EVO 5 front suspension with lower roll-point, to be better on asphalt than a regular evo 6.

    I have no idea:-) I thought mitsubishi just do what citroen do with their limited edition cars, that being take a normal car, put a rally drivers name on the side, change the interior slightly and then add an extra few thousand to the price!

    Νο, Μakinens have a different front arm at lower ball point,but it is not from evo 5.
    @tfp

    You're probably right, but the adjustment they were doing was probably that it would be better on asphalt?

    yes they were better,and Makinens had different front geometry from evo6.Different turbo(slightly smaller compressor for better midrange response) shorter steering rack,different shocks/springs.

    The TME had different front bumper for sure - maybe also other slight differences.

    Dimviii builds rally Lancers so he must know that it's not just a bumper what is changed
