F3x Crew January 2015 Morning Meet // Photo Coverage

Earlier this month (4 January 2015), we’ve had the chance to join the F3x Crew morning meet. Aggressive-looking and highly tuneable, the new BMW F3x-platform has proven itself to be one of the most popular midsize-luxury German in our city. Aftermarket parts are a plenty and simple bolt-on upgrades resulted in good HP bumps. Perfect for enthusiasts. Following this uprising …

Visiting Daikoku Futo PA for the First Time

An automotive-infused trip to Japan wouldn’t be complete without visiting one of its most interesting car-spotting area. It’s none other than the instagram-famous #Daikoku Futo Parking Area. The sort-of ‘Cars & Coffee’ area for Japan, or perhaps ‘Cars & Sushi’ we shall say? However, unlike ‘Cars & Coffee’, this area doesn’t have any organiser at all. It’s a highway rest-area, …

The Show Next Door // TAS 2015 Parking Area

A six-day-trip sounded like a good plan when we were about to visit Tokyo Auto Salon earlier this month. However, after spending the first two days experiencing the Japanese car cultures, we realised that there’s no way we could fit all of our plans and enthusiasms in a mere 6-day-journey. So many places we’ve had on our minds that we’ve …

Vossen Japan Owners Meet January 2015 // Photo Coverage

Last week we spent our days in Japan to visit the Tokyo Auto Salon and nearby events/workshops. One of the most memorable ones we visited was the Vossen Owners Meet. Held in Shimizu Marine Park Sizhuoka, it was one of the most breathtaking meeting grounds we’ve ever visited. With Mount Fuji in the background and tremendously clear skies above our …

Tailor-made // BMW E38 7-Series on OZ Futura

It’s the 21st century car that came from the 20th century. The pinnacle of BMW’s technological advances. The best of the best that they had at that time, has all been put into the design of this E38 7-Series. From heated rear seats to state-of-the-art electronic entertainment system, it was the car that stunned all the wealthy buyers of its …

Motorsports Tribute // BMW E92 3-Series Coupe on BBS

BMW and motorsports. A pair of symphonies that’s been continuously formed for almost a century long. Ever since the 1930s, BMW race car drivers have been piloting their 3-Series cars across some of the most prestigious races around the world, including the famous Mille Miglia. Over the years, the team has accumulated more than enough trophies to make their 3-Series …

Tokyo Auto Salon 2015 // The Europeans Pt. 1

Live from Tokyo Auto Salon 2015! In this first trip to Asia’s largest automotive festival, we’ve been kept in awe all day at the surprises that Japan has to offer.

Flagship Reborn // Lexus LS460L on ADV.1

It is without doubt that Japan has become one of the strongest sources of automotive trends. A solid proof of this statement would be the outrageous VIP movement, or Bippu as it is known in Japan. Large-bodied sedan with super-low stance, such a movement has contributed greatly to the popularity of aggressive fitment scene we know today. On today’s menu …

Along the Trip // MINI Clubman on ADV.1

An empty stretch of highway. A cross-city trip that awaits. A fun-filled weekend that’s coming up. Overnighter bags that are all packed up, sunshades hung on the crew-neck and a sun hat worn to tame the day. All is good and ready to go. It’s the holiday spirit that has kept us alive in this New Year day. The passion …

Bandung Turbo-Frenzy Warriors // Scirocco x GTI

Manic. I’ve been staring in awe, examining the modification specs of these three little hatchbacks inside my mailbox for a full hour. The spec-lists are downright overwhelming. Stage 3+ tunes. Swapped turbochargers. Reinforced footworks. The driving experience must’ve been nothing short of thrilling. As a Volkswagen driver myself, I can’t quite possibly wrap my head around the idea of having …

Season of Wheels // Rainer’s F10 5-Series on BC Forged

If there’s one part of a car that I love most, it’d be wheels. For one, they represent one of the largest exterior percentage area of a vehicle. I mean, what else can you replace in a set of four! You can only have one spoiler, one front bumper, and at most, only sideskirts come in pairs. Just kidding. Well, …

Street Rules // Porsche 911 Turbo S on HRE

Porsche. Most people recognise it for the company’s range of high-performance sports cars. Highly capable of churning large HP outputs (such as today’s Turbo S with an excess of 520HP), yet perfectly safe to be manoeuvred across tight alleys under low speed. Iconic curvy aerodynamic design is another top-of-mind for the brand. However, the way I see it, Porsche hasn’t …

Royal Origin Sunday Meats November // Photo Coverage Part 1

Perhaps you’ve heard the word around that one of our co-founders, Eric Tanzil, has been visiting USA earlier this month. Yes, SEMA was also held around that same time. Apart from going to the auto convention, he also took his time to visit California’s local car meets. One of which is this Royal Origin Sunday Meats held last week, 23rd …

Artisan // Novitec Rosso Ferrari 458 Spider on ADV.1

I’ve always been a fan of Ferrari’s. The F40 was the one that got me into it. It was the supercar icon of my childhood. The bedroom posters I had. The Hot Wheels collectibles I kept safely inside my tiny, colourful drawers. Little did I know about its turbocharged engine back then. Little did I know about its 324km/h top …
