A Visit to RWB Indonesia // Terror Garage
Well. By the time of this writing I’m pretty sure you’ve all heard about RWB Indonesia; represented by the eccentric workshop called Terror Garage in Bandung. Throughout these past few weeks I’ve read all about their workshop and RWB builds all over Indonesian automotive medias. From magazines to online portals; from Path to Facebook posts. Seems like they’ve been greatly …

Achievements Unlocked // DMC Aventador on PUR
I’ve met a lot of people these days who are getting lost in the midst of their own busy schedules. Lives unbalanced, dreams forgotten. Trying to get hold of everything while not actually focusing on anything. Throwing so many darts so fast that none hits the bullseye. Some claim they lack the skills, others don’t even know what has happened. …

HnP Bangkok Trip January 2014 // Part 1: The Midnight Run
We love Thailand. The amazing car builds. The spicy foods. The tremendous hospitality. Everything in the country seems so perfectly suited to us car lovers and good-food seekers. Last year we went there to visit the Bangkok Autosalon, while making friends with the Flushstyle community and doing a coverage for RWB Thailand. It was one hell of an automotive-infused trip. …

Wallpaper Wednesday // BMW Generations
BMW is definitely one of the most popular luxury brands ever featured on our site. Despite having sales figures that’s only half of its major competitor’s (Mercedes sold 4,100 units vs BMW 2,211 units in Indonesia last year); I find it interesting that we’re seeing a much larger number of modified BMWs on the streets (also think about the ///M …

We’ve always loved cars; we continuously admire other people’s builds through our site features. And we’re also dreaming of one day having our own ‘killer’ builds to be …

Permaisuri Thursday // MINI on HRE Vintage
Low is not enough. These days the “aggressive fitment” scene has been storming our car culture uncontrollably. They’re everywhere. No doubt, most lowered cars look mindblowingly stunning when paired with the right set of wheels. But let’s do keep in mind that being low is not everything; it’s not the end of the story. Throwing out the springs off your …

Wallpaper Wednesday // Porsche 911 from Bali
These past few days the skies have been rather gloomy. Rains pouring down. Thunderstorms during the night. Traffic jams and flooded streets during the day. Hard times to all of us mobile creatures. Today’s Wallpaper Wednesday submitted by Dedenphoto from Bali pretty much captures all those overcast and cloudy feelings we’ve been having. But rest assured, the brighter days will …

Rapid Rage // CLS63 AMG on BC Forged
Hitting redlines. Exhaust drums on shifts. Real force of G’s pulling the body away from seats on every corners. Pushing tires’ tractions to their limits. Hearts pumped. Eyes focused. Mind strolls away in a hypnotic state of addiction. Addiction for speeds. Few, only a very select few of cars in this entire world that can satisfy enthusiasts’ thirstiest addiction for …

Show Off // Arief’s RVR on Volk Racing
Every once in a while we’d come across builds that go way beyond people’s expectations. Yes, we’ve featured Lamborghini’s with carbon bodykit the price of a car. Yes we’ve featured rides with wheels alone costing more than $10k. But most of the time, the bottom-line of these mods contributes to only a small fraction of the car’s price. So what’s …

Permaisuri Thursday // BMW 5 Series F10 on Hamann
Any BMW fan would’ve agreed that one of the most iconic wheel designs that look good on just every BMW model is the multi-spoked. Take the classic Alpina wheel as an example. From E30 to F01, they all look good sitting on those long, straight multi-spoked design lines. There’s a strong sense of class and heritage with those wheels, perfectly …

Sportscar Community December Run // Photo Coverage
December proved to be the greatest time for communities to held end-of-year gatherings. While most people were on vacations, car lovers got the opportunity to enjoy a less-congested Jakarta. Just couple of weeks ago we joined the JDM.RUN December cruise, and today I present to you an even larger morning run arranged by Sportscar Community. Held on December 29th with …

Rebellion // Porsche Cayman on PUR
Recently I stumbled upon an article about RUF’s 3800S Boxster that’s been fitted with top-of-the-line 3.8L 911 engine. A pretty radical approach in turning Porsche’s mid-engined “affordable roadster” into a beast capable of devouring Porsche’s very own prestigious Carrera. While the 911 Carrera has always been designed by the German to stay true to its rear-engined roots, the Boxster/Cayman has …

Show Off // F10 5 Series on MORR
Granted the F10 is one of the nicest-looking mid-size sedan out there right now (it has J.D. Power Most Appealing Midsize Premium Car 2013 award behind its back). While some other cars can take quite a few glances to get used to / admire (the Panamera for example), the F10 is a love-at-first sight for most. With its wide presence …

Happy New Year! To start this great 2014 I’m presenting you a wallpaper submitted by Dedenphoto from Bali. A trio of modern exotics; 911, Gallardo and 458, this capture pretty much summarizes Bali’s currently growing luxury car scene. And I believe in 2014 it’s only going to get even wilder! Oh and by the way, let me give you some …
