His forever car - 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse [ENG SUB]

I'm Álvaro and this is my car, a '95 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS I decided to buy the Eclipse because it's a legendary car from the first Fast and Furious movie. I've always been in love with the car. I didn't want to make it like the one from the movie. I built it to my taste. I bought it about a year and a half ago, maybe two. The car was in very bad shape. The engine was fatal, it had oil leaks. The timing was not done correctly. The ecu was half burned, the wiring was all over the place, improper

connections all around... I had to spend a lot on just tow services, a lot of maintenance, and work to discover where the faults were coming from. It was stuck non running for 3, 4, 5 months... But I did not give up on it, and now it's working perfectly. It still has some little issues, but they are being fixed little by little. The car used to be red. It was painted this color because I wanted it white, I couldn't find any white ones, they were all overpriced. I think the white gives it a nice

elegant touch, more attractive than the red. Many friends told me to keep it red, repaint it red again, but I wanted to change the color. And I ended up having some issues with that. The painter misunderstood my request and what I wanted him to do, what I wanted and what he did... it was crazy. because the car was painted completely pink. From red it went to fuchsia pink, Barbie pink. It was funny... but horrible. The car was repainted again, and again it didn't turn out well because it was stil

l painted white with the pink and it looked pinkish white, it was very bad. It was crazy. After so much painting it has been painted three times and now its pearly white like I wanted it to be, with quite a bit of pearl in the clear so that it shines. And I love it. For suspension it has MTS technic coilovers, adjustable in height. I took the stiffest one, although it bounces a bit I like how it drives. Originally it had Rays 350Z wheels but I didn't like how they looked so I picked up a set o

f Japan Racing jr11. although I want to pick up some Volks from Rays that are much nicer, but well see. It has for GST bumers and spoiler. The exhaust is not complete yet, it has the middle and rear section. I still need to pick up an exhaust manifolds that will work well. But I really like the sound of this exhaust setup. It sounds nice at the limiter, as well as at low revs or when slowing down. I really like the steering wheel I have, I would only change it for an original EVO9 wheel. I want

to change the seats because I don't like the style of these RX8 seats. I want to change them for semi buckets Recaro that would fit much better. When it came to the engine as I said it was terrible.. I had to re-do the timing it had jumped timing on the oil-pump gear. The car was not running well.... It was missing an electric ground point, it was just disconnected from the car. This gave it issues with the ECU which I had to replace. I would really like to turbo the engine, make it a GST le

t's say. The engine shouldn't need upgrading because it comes already prepared to mount a turbo. The engine is the 4g63 Mitsubishi. The truth is that the car runs great stock as it is now, it's naturally aspirated engine, doesn't have that much power, but since you can rev the gears a lot It revs up to 7000-7200 rpm. It's quite responsive and it runs very well, it's not a turbo engine but I am very happy with it. Thanks to the car I am now in a group called Ride and Roll. Everyone is great, I g

ot to know people from the area, and I am now very integrated in the group. The car got me more into the car world, which I have always liked. The car gets accepted in all the events i register for I also won a prize in Roca tuning in Setenil de las Bodegas. Driving a sports car of this style so low with the suspension and all the mods, its always a great time.. I'm very happy with it. This is my first project and I would say the last, until I decide to turbo it, or I decide to find a GSX, whi

ch is the 4 wheel drive version. But I think I will never leave this project because It is the car that I have always wanted, my dream car, and I love it. I don't think I could replace it with anything else.
