BOOM BOOM!

In all seriousness, wtf is he doing?

**TyPat107** · 3rd Feb 12, 05:21

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

IT is a Simpson Hybrid "HANS" and Jan Phersson, Simpson Sweden

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
Makinens dont have only cosmetic differences from evo 6.

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.
