In order to try again to identify the problem, they returned the suspension back to the previous year’s specification at round ten, the Cyprus Rally. At the same time, the team introduced a front bumper with the same design as that of the LANCER EVOLUTION VI Tommi Mäkinen Edition, which was a special specification car released in January of that year, and continued to carry out a hard development work including a large-scale revision to the suspension geometry.ĭuring this period, the team fell into a vicious cycle involving the setting. From round seven, Rally New Zealand, the clutch capacity of the center differential was increased, and the engine control unit computer was also renewed at the following event (round eight), Rally Finland. Furthermore, they deployed a lighter 4G63 engine that provided further weight reduction from round five, Rally Catalunya. An additional spring was fitted from the fourth round, Rally Portugal, making it a triple spring spec. In order to compensate for the suspension stroke that proved a handicap against WR cars, the MITSUBISHI MOTORS team switched to a double spring suspension for the second round, Rally Sweden.
