Irresistible Beast // R34 GT-R V-Spec from Surabaya
“Race car is a show car but a show car isn’t always a race car,” said Mr. F, owner of today’s GT-R from Surabaya, who also happened to be the owner of Evolution IX we featured weeks ago. I found his quote to be rather interesting and fairly true. Drive a modded (or even stock) GT-R to a meet and …

Boxer Baron // Daniel’s TechArt Porsche Boxster
Boxer + Roadster = Boxster? This is the car that has undoubtedly been the winning recipe to Porsche’s success in the 1990s.

With other competitors such as Z3, SLK and humble Miata …

Permaisuri Thursday // BMW 1M on HRE
One of HRE’s latest design at the moment is the S104 from its S-series lineup. Quite a couple of sets have already made their way into Indonesia through Permaisuri, HRE authorized dealer. Some S-series were installed onto a 6 series, a C-class, and also surprisingly a Toyota Vellfire. Today’s pairing, though, is definitely one of my favourites, the BMW 1M. …

Permaisuri Thursday // E Class on Carlsson
To be honest I used to be rather skeptical towards single-tuner wheels. Sometimes I think perhaps they only exist for the company’s profit-taking sake, as an attempt to make available every single replacement parts for a particular car brand. From bodykit lips to badges to interior handles, and lastly to wheels. A bit too generic to my liking. Instead, I’d …
