For those that didnt know, Hizam has sold his JDM Mitsubishi Evolution 6.5 Tommi Makkinen Evo. These photos were taken a few days before being handed over to the new owner. Whatever were left in the car were part of the value-added-modification to the new owner which he/she do not have to think so much on what to do next, i believe.As you have noticed that some of the bling-bling toys has been taken out and swapped to original parts due to the price haggle/war that everybody seems to fight for these days. I have to respect Hizam to be braved enough to entertain Malaysian-bargaining conversations. More jokers than true enthusiastic buyers.I have to admit buying special parts for the specific year for a car can be very expensive. When it comes to this EVO, you cant just swap things from other older or latter model to fit inside. Everything has to come fit to its parts meant to be, unless you like fruit-salad?I have seen this EVO grew from basic modification done to a mildly modified daily beater. I have seen blisters on Hizam's fingers due to DIYs, the endless prolonging savings to buy that special parts, the horror of parkings among the uncourteous drivers and running trolleys, the scorching heatwave that bites the car and also the hard to get teeny restoration parts.Not only me, i think few and maybe some of us will definitely miss this car around. We'll miss the snapping torque from the rear axle and we definitely miss everything about it. MeGuiar's car clean products are among Hizam's favourite, so you can imagine it is much expensive than your daily hair shampoo. Ha Ha.Before any curiosities start to fly around and kill each other, good-ol mothergoose told me its gonna be a continental this time.Till then.
Its been a long time since i blog about these two cars and i finally found the right time and at the same time having a fully charged digital camera. I honestly snapped many pix but these were some of the best ones i got. There are a few other pix but the owners has required them to be kept away from the public.Anyways for a start, Hizam's Mitsubishi Evolution 6.5 Makinnen has been extensively modded. For the last 2 months, he has spent on many branded new parts from rims to engine parts alone. He has kept his car in very good condition since day 1 when he first got it. The car is smooth and finely tuned. The list of mods done are quite lengthy and u can see from the pix taken. Seeing is always believing. Rumours has been chipping in my ears saying the car will be sold for an exchange of a Nissan Skyline R34 GTR. But then again, im not surprise either, ha ha. The Evolution 7 driven by the quiet and humble driver Ijud, projects a new way of expression himself uniquely. I sometimes feel tired looking at "catalog" cars driven on the road. Same colours, same chosen cultured rims and same talkabout modifications. Ijud has taken the colour business seriously after getting ideas from around the globe and definitely self creativity. The thing that makes car magazines, internet, tv and real life encounters are the fact u learn something from it and not simply carbon-copy it. To be unique and being able to stand on its own identity is Ijud's style.ps. i would like to thank both drivers for giving me a chance and permission to snap their cars using my koochie and oldschool 4.0 megapixel olympus miu-mini. all pix were taken as it is and not being adobe photoshoped. no magic, just simple creativity shots.
Hizam's car is for sale (again, if there is a potential buyer). New mods like brand new Koyo Radiator, Billion fan, upgraded to EVO7 turbine, custom ceramic manifold with Tial wastegate and many more.
He is looking at RM130 negotiable. Loan is arrangeble IF you are qualified to take loans from the banks or daddy decides to support you fully.
If you want an original Evo 6.5 Tommi Makkinen, this should be the one for street and track fun.
