Any reference photos for Lancer Evo 6 Tommi Makinen type?

I'm building the WRC version by Tamiya, and the instructions strike me as odd. They have a lot of references to mica blue and red, and the fire extinguisher is painted black with red tie-down clamps around it. Are these colors accurate? I'm looking for photos of the actual car to help with this.

I built the evo 6 recently here is the WIP thread.

And the finished model thread.

Here is a magazine article I had for reference.

Thanks for the photos!

I'm painting the main body bright red (TS-49) now, as recommended by the instructions. But I feel it's a little bright. Are there any more accurate reds around?

The red for the body is accurate as are the color instructions.

Mitsu used red and blue to indicate handing of parts throughout the car to assist in speeding up the service. The fire extinguisher was indeed 'black', or actually a carbon weave in the real car.
