HnP Photoday // Morning Call Bandung
Meet Morning Call. The increasingly popular Bandung gathering/cruising car community. From highway cruising to chit-chat breakfasts, the casual community was established as a weekend getaway to the members’ hectic weekdays. Not to speed nor race, mind you. Instead just to gather early in the morning at meeting points, enjoy Bandung’s cool weather and take a scenic route towards breakfast destinations. …

M-SICK // Edwin’s M6 on HRE
POWER. The single most substantial word that has always been synonymized with the letter M. Lots of power. Enough to get you from 0 to 100km/h in less than 4.5s. Enough to give you a brain concussion if your feet get just a little bit too excited during a corner. Risky. Breathtaking. Thrilling. Explosive. Like bungee jumping with your eyes …

Blue Gem // Didi’s Evolution VIII on Volk Rays
The Evolution. The warrior to the three-diamond-badge’s army of Japanese engineering. Brembo brakes, Recaro seats, Bilstein shocks, Enkei wheels, carbon fibre rear wing. No, these are not the parts that Didi the owner has installed on his ride. Instead, these are the parts that Mitsubishi has given all Evolution VIII owners as its standard package. Fast, nimble and uncompromisable, Mitsubishi …

Show Off // New Accord on HRE
On today’s Show Off article, I have a build that’s rather unusual. Starting things off, we have car that obviously hasn’t been seen too often on our streets these days – the New Honda Accord. I don’t think I’ve ever seen any other on the road in fact, apart from this one. But what’s most surprising of all is the …

86ID Morning Run Sept 2013 // Photo Coverage

Reasonable pricing, Toyota’s practicality, Subaru’s famous boxer engine, have all made these two pairs among the top-of-list for those looking for < Rp 800m coupes.

Rise and Fall // Babat’s 7 Series on Vorsteiner
This past half-a-decade we’ve been seeing a rapid rise in the number of US aftermarket companies trying to tap into the premium European-cars aftermarket industry. Especially when it comes to wheels/bodykits. With most claiming their products to have been proudly produced “in house” in the United States. Limitless customizations. Exceptional quality. Outstanding marketing strategies. Premium prices. Through stunning product photo-shoots …

Permaisuri Thursday // Range Rover Autobiography on DPE
The Range Rover. A British icon that’s been handled by the German (BMW 1994), the American (Ford 2000) and lately the Indian (Tata 2008) throughout the company’s history. British design. German technologies. American rigidity. Indian business model. All of these traits have shaped up the Range Rover that we know today, and along these ownerships we can also see the …

ONEIGHTEENTH Indonesia Diecast Gathering // Photo Coverage
Living in the office for twelve hours a day. Skimming through a rim of papers weekly. Typing a dozen of reports monthly. And then there’re those never ending meetings! Let’s face it, working in the office these days can sometimes be so overwhelming that keeping a proper life-work balance is often difficult. That’s why a lot of us are turning …

Mod Bugs // Iwan’s E90 3 Series on BBS
Have you ever felt like things are going way out of control between you and your ride? Running on your 10th set of wheels? Repainted your car for the third time? Installed the bigger turbo you’ve never thought you’ll need? Spent more time going to the workshop than going out with your girlfriend? You, then, might have been bitten by …

Permaisuri Thursday // E Coupe on DPE
Never. Never have I imagined that the E Coupe can look so stunning wearing such banana’s outfit. Looks so right; looks so nice. Browsing through the history of E Coupe’s I’ve posted in HnP, they all seemed to be rather monochromatic. Black. Silver. Grey. White. Nothing else. Essentially they all looked good while showcasing the E Coupe’s elegant lines. But …

Ground Level // Donny’s 330Ci on Work Meister
The BMW 3 Series. The best-selling model on BMW’s lineup. As what everybody might’ve known, I have, am and will always be the till-death-do-us-part BMW fan. It all started when I fell in love with the 3 Series chassis at my seventeen years of age. My dad gave his E30 to me as a birthday gift. A car he picked …

Show Off // William’s Skyline V35
Meet the Skyline V35. While most of you might’ve immediately thought of the R32-R34’s upon hearing the Skyline name, there’s actually a V35 produced after R34 production has stopped. Still a Skyline, but not a GT-R. Instead, the GT-R badge has been migrated by Nissan to become a separate lineup, leaving the Skyline name to become Nissan’s sporty-premium coupes and …

MOTOR Stancelovers Day Out // Photo Coverage
More and more we are seeing the Indonesian car culture shifting away from its “contest-is-everything” image. Casual meets. Friendly competitions. Outdoor laid back events are becoming more popular these days, especially ever since we stirred things up with the GENESIS car show earlier this year. On July 21st 2013, MOTOR magazine also held a casual gathering for stancelovers at The …

Permaisuri Thursday // Murcielago SV on HRE Wheels
Permaisuri has done it again. SuperVeloce supercar meets super wheels. This raging successor of the Diablo SV has been prepared by Lamborghini as its toughest, fastest, most manic beast to date to bear the SV badge. With production figures that are much less than initially proposed (around 180+ instead of the proposed 350), it is then also one of the …
