Forged Steel // Franky’s Evolution VIII MR on Volk Racing
Looking back at the world’s history, it could be said that one of the most influential achievements of mankind is the usage of iron. From the ancient era to the present; from simple tools meant for everyday tasks, to the highly advanced machineries meant for scientific studies, a hint of iron is bound to be found. Often ‘modified’ together with …

JDM Hero // Sanadi’s Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII MR on Volk Racing
When Mitsubishi announced that they’ll stop producing the Evo, and with no apparent successor in sight, the motoring world is in total loss. It is understandable though, since the ‘affordable turbocharged 4WD 4-door sedan with WRC heritage’ has become a smaller and smaller market over time. Only time will tell whether Mitsubishi will continue Lancer Evolution’s legacy. Such discontinuation, however, …

Rough Diamond // Ton’s Evolution IX on TE37
Boy, I’ve always been fascinated by diamonds. They’re the final result of carbons being pressurised under an extremely long period of time. They are known to be notoriously expensive in their standard form, and could reach astronomical prices given the right conditions, which could reach up to 350 million dollars. For a single rock, that’s outstanding. Aside from their mesmerising …

Speedfreak Surabaya Midnight Photo Shoot 2014
Last week I’ve introduced you to Nuvolks Surabaya, the city’s most prominent VW-owners club with their European modified rides. This time, let me take you to meet the Japanese-car-fans of the city: Speedfreak Surabaya. With plenty of legendary Japanese rides kept inside the garage of its members, and frequent midnight runs, this is surely not the community to be missed. …

JDM.Run Lebaran Gathering 2014 // Photo Coverage
On July 31st 2014, we have joined yet another Lebaran gathering held by fellow community friend: the JDM.Run crew. From Evolution to Subaru to Type R to GTR, the JDM.Run crew’s members rides are undoubtedly some of the best Japanese warriors in town. However, unlike the usual JDM.Run gatherings, this time they have also invited several non-Japanese car owners to …

Rule the Streets // Sebastian’s Evo VIII on Volk Racing
What’s quick, 4-wheel-drive, 4-door, have aggressive handling and a turbocharged engine? Absolutely there’s no better way to describe the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution than through those five characteristics. With 271 horsepower from the factory and a 0-100km/h time in around 5.1 seconds, who wouldn’t want one (apart from non-stick-shift drivers)? Plus, upgradable parts are in abundance when compared to any other …

JDM.RUN x EVO.ID Sentul Track Day // Photo Coverage
Where’s the fun in building high performance machines if you can’t drive them to their full potential? It’s no longer a secret that a lot of us enthusiasts these days are testing our rides on the highways during the wee hours, but what’s even more challenging are the proper track days. Timed laps on the track, where each participant can …

JDM.RUN February Cruise // Photo Coverage
The beginning of the year has no doubt been a rather depressing time for us Jakarta car enthusiasts. From floods to potholes-parties on the streets, to heavy traffics. But these past few days we’ve been seeing nicer and nicer weather with clearer skies springing out of the days. So what comes naturally are more frequent meets and gatherings of us …

Velocity // 3037S HKS Evo IX MR from Surabaya
These days two things are definitely true in our car culture. 1) Money can’t buy taste. 2) Money can’t even always buy you the cars. Take today’s case of the Lancer Evolution IX MR as an example. I was quite surprised finding out that the second-hand prices of these older gen Evo’s are comparable to that of the Evo X. …

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 …

Wallpaper Wednesday // Matte Blue Evolution VIII MR from Palembang
Yes. Another Lancer Evolution as our Wallpaper Wednesday! I think we’re having a rather Japanese-week-theme this time. Last week we’ve posted Didi’s Evolution rolling-shot capture during JDM.RUN and today we have a sent-in all the way from Palembang. Captured by Ricky Tjandra, the Evolution VIII MR has been featured before on our site (check this link), but this time there’s …

Wallpaper Wednesday // JDM.RUN
Last weekend the JDM.RUN crew did another morning run around the city, with quite several Evo’s joining the rush. Here’s a teaser picture from Charles J, which I’ve also posted as this week’s Wallpaper Wednesday. Car in focus on today’s post is none other than Didi’s Evo VIII we posted several days ago. Well built and immaculately maintained, his Daytona …

Permaisuri Thursday // Evolution X on Weds
After posting hundreds of featured cars over these past few years at HnP, I’ve learned one fact about the Indonesian car culture: Japanese performance car owners have some of the longest mod-spec-lists in town. GTR, S2000, Evolution, Subaru, for example, have proven themselves to be the perfect platforms from which an owner could build his/her childhood dream rides; thus installing …

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 …

JDM.RUN Cruise // Photo Coverage
Traffic congestion. Reckless bikes (not all, but a lot are). Careless public transports. There are plenty of things to moan about when it comes to the daily conditions of Jakarta’s roads. And driving precious gems on these roads often proves to be an even worse experience. Worrying about scratches? Overheats? Hidden potholes? Crime threats? But then there’s always that time …

I wake up everyday finding myself checking out latest posts from Jalopnik, Speedhunters, Canibeat and StanceNation. Daily updates from these sites have pretty much given me the latest info on new car releases, the hottest wheels in the scenes and most recent automotive events around the world. Years after years have passed with such a routine and sometimes things are …
