Soon after the
release of the Hollywood blockbuster movie, The
Fast and the Furious, the number of Mitsubishi
Eclipse’s in the province gradually hiked
up. However, Marwan Al Khaja,
the only legal guy on the driver’s seat
of this ’95 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T and
one of the very old enthusiasts of these 2nd generation
models was inspired to initiate a project of his
own in order to nominate himself in the modern
import arena. |

The basic exterior look of the ride actually seeks
to conceal the massive mutation that it has gone
through over the past few years of ownership.
Not expecting to do much with the exterior of
the car, Marwan has been in fact working consequently
on the interior and the mechanics of the 4G63.
BMW M3 side mirrors w/ LED indicators is the most
recent upgrade, the roof scoop was custom molded
for efficient airflow along with the aluminum
rear spoiler to enhance down force with improved
aerodynamics. Moreover, the JDM Halo Projector
headlights in addition to the Altezza Carbon Fiber
look taillights allot an aggressive impression
to the 280hp street machine. The car currently
rides on 18-inches of Advanti Racing F328 rims
while still retaining the former Evo VI rims in
stock for autocross and racing applications (Marwan
placed 1st position in Novice Class of Autocross).

At present, this is the
only fine-tuned 4G63 we’ve ever featured
over the past years. Despite the fact that the
4-cylinder 2000cc engine may not stand to the
T88s or other massive turbo kits, Marwan’s
4G63 has a pretty long Kill List. The
heavy-handed contestant under the hood is a GReddy
TD05H-14B turbine alongside Nissan Silvia S14
intercooler w/ 2.5” piping kit, GReddy Type-S
Blow-off valve and Profec-B boost controller.
The fuel side consists of Walbro 255lph High-pressure
fuel pump and RC Engineering 550cc fuel injectors
(waiting to be installed along with Crower camshafts).
Incredible handling/braking is all certified by
H&R performance springs, Mugen front &
rear upper strut bar, OBX Racing rear lower strut
bar along with Energy Suspension motor mounts
& Polyurethane Full Bushing kit. Simultaneously,
RacingBrake front rotors and BF Goodridge stainless-steel
brake lines deal out the power-assisted brake
mechanism.
Transmission-related issues
consist of ACT 2100lb clutch disk & Street
Race pressure plate, B&M short-shifter kit
plus Extreme Technologies aluminum shifter brackets.
Other tidbits include APEXi N1 3-inch exhaust
cat-back, Custom 3-inch aluminized steel Race
pipe (CAT removed), Injen air filter intake, GReddy
2.5” upper/lower chromed Intercooler pipe
kit, NGK Iridiam spark plugs and Magneccor V85
8.5mm spark plug wires. |
