Tommi Makinen+Carbon= True ;) Pic heavy.

Hi all.

I own a TME, and as always, I want to have something different than other people have.

I have now changed out a few OEM parts with some carbon bits.
upgraded a few parts and the car is now in for a head job (max ported with new valve seats in Copper-Bronze)

SuperTech double valve springs, TI retainers, manganese- bronze guides and seals.

TOMEI 280' IN with 11,5mm lift
TOMEI 270' EX with 11,5mm lift
TOMEI Gam gears
HKS GT3037S kit
HKS exhaust system

Hope you like it!

A few pictures of the car when original:














Then I started to remove the front:



The OEM intercooler had seen better days so I decided to replace it with this:




Fitted perfectly!




Then the fenders came off:



And theses puppies went on:



Rear wing blade:



hood:



Front lip:



Also changed the OEM head lights to a one piece black type with 2 lenses:



Now everything needed to be fitted. I'm surprised how each and every part fitted so good. Hardly any drilling and grinding needed.

Hood on:





Fenders and lights:





Front lip:




Added some Engine bay dress up:





And the final result:

I'm sorry, this is just my opinion... I would never mod a TME, not aesthetically at least, you could get away doing that to a regular 6, not the TME though...

I respect your opinion, but where I live there are more TME's than a regular VI.
I have all the OEM parts and will not get rid of them.

Thank you!

As for parts for the VI, Try the lancerregister in the UK.
