Permaisuri Thursday // GTI MKV on BBS CH-R
Tried and true. GTI and the BBS name must’ve been two of the most related brands in the Indonesian watercooled VW scene. Today Permaisuri sent us over these pictures of a white MKV GTI wearing the 19″ BBS CH-R wheels. Combined with KW Springs, these 19-inchers are looking just right. Perfect setup for a daily driven car. On top of …

One Fat Fit // Abdee’s Jazz on CCW Classic
Counting the number of Jazz’s in Jakarta would be as easy as counting the spots of a Dalmation. Honda has sold thousands of them and I bet hundreds can be seen during your daily trip to work. Plagued by such substantial population, a lot of Jazz owners have gotten creative and started prepping out their rides like no other. Quite …

GENESIS Car Show and Gath // hawk’n’poke X Hellaflush // Part 3
With location, budget, partners and sponsors all set, the GENESIS team were ready to rock Flavor Bliss on the 26th of January 2013. But then, the inevitable happened: flood disaster on the 17th. Cars submerged. Citizens became refugees. Houses flooded with water up to 1.5 meter deep. It’s a flood disaster at a scale like none that ever happened before. …

Show Off // F10 5 Series on BC Forged
Every once in a while, I do get submissions that put up some personal mixed feelings. Doubts whether I should post it or not. Whether it is appropriate to be posted at hawk’n’poke or not. The F10 5 Series with M5 kit I’m showing you off today is one of them. As you might’ve known by now, I’ve always put …

Show Off // GT86 on Volk Rays
The making of cars these days are often very similar to the making of films. Some were built under low costs and budgets with the expectations of having high margins. Others were built so roughly and unthoroughly by the designers, with timely market entry becoming the only priority. Few are, however, built to represent the rebirth of legends. Designed, built …

GENESIS Car Show and Gath // hawk’n’poke X Hellaflush // Part 1
To say our team was not exhausted would be a lie. To say we’re not impressed by the quality of cars would not be true. To say we’re satisfied would not 100% be correct. It’s tiring, it’s exciting, it’s refreshing, it’s memorable, yet it’s very very far from perfect. It’s GENESIS – it’s the beginning. Mid of 2012 hawk’n’poke team …

Show Off // S212 E Class Estate on HRE
I’m actually quite surprised to find the E Class Estate being available in Jakarta. I’ve never seen one in person, and yet here’s one looking magnificent on a set of 20″ HRE P93L wheels. The E Class Estate has its styling cues derived from the saloon version, plus a large hunchback at the rear to accomodate almost 2,000 litres of …

High Street // S-Class on HRE
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class. One of the most popular upscale sedans that roam the streets of Jakarta. High rise buildings, CBD areas, golf courses and lavish housing complexes are among the natural habitats of these long wheel-based sedans. Despite their popularity, I still find it difficult to spot ‘heavily’ modified S-Classes. Most owners I knew have simply installed aftermarket wheels on …

Mind Trick // CLS63 AMG on Modulare
Fuel economy of 10 liter/100 km. Four doors. 0-100 kph in 4.4 seconds. 550 bhp. Sold as 63 despite its 5.5L engine. On paper these stuffs do not seem to make sense. Borderline impossible to build, possibly going to be difficult to sell. But don’t be fooled. A quick glance at the 2013 CLS63 AMG and you’ll understand why. While …

The Apex // Skyline on Nismo Edition Volk
The more I get to know the Indonesian car culture, the more I feel like I’m becoming a part of the minority. I despise wannabes (Lancer with Evolution badge? Stay away), I don’t personally like body conversions (Lancer to Ferrari? You’re fooling yourself), I pay 0 respect to those 5 Series diesels wearing M5 badges, I’ll say you’re cheap if …

A couple of days ago Charles met the same owner again to take several quick pictures of his F10 5 Series …

LOVE for JAKARTA Coverage
Floods, hella-floods! Due to the recent water damage covering plenty of areas in Jakarta (some areas were even flooded up to 1.5mtr deep!), the GENESIS Team decided to reschedule the Jan 26th Car Show event to Feb 23rd. Several weather forecasters predicted Jan 26th-27th to be the pinnacle of Jakarta’s rainfall, worsened by rising sea levels. Not taking chances nor …
