Golden Workaround // Vellfire on ADV.1 from Solo

Car customization surely knows no boundaries – whether it’d be fast or slow, big or small, new or old, there’s always something that we, car enthusiasts, could lay our hands on. Case in point: MPVs. Not exactly the most favorable platform to be customized, yet life simply couldn’t be separated from these functional beasts. Plus, nowadays the manufacturers have also …

Spices on Dessert // BMW M4 on ADV.1

It’s not as red as a Ferrari nor as orange as the Lamborghini. …

Personal Speedy // DuelL AG MINI Cooper S

A true compact performer that’ll never be forgotten. Following the release of MINI’s new F56, the company has shoved-in a massive 2.0L engine into the new Cooper S engine bay. Bigger and more powerful, majorly support its ever-expanding body size. This leaves today’s R56 Cooper S as the final ‘true compact’ performer with its tinier 1.6L engine and shorter wheelbase. …

Lagoon of Speed // BMW M4 on Rotiform

Inspired by an UAE circuit, built by the German, and driven on the humble streets of Indonesia. Today’s Yas Marina Blue M4 has struck our attention from every angle.

High Scores // Golf MK7 on Rotiform

Ever tried ice skating before? It’s amazing how the simple task of moving on ice requires plenty of factors to be counted. Imagine then how it feels like to move on ice while evading people, and trying to land a score using a long stick at the same time. Congrats; you’ve just felt the glimpses of ice hockey, folks. Combining …

Under the Radar // Subaru BRZ on BC Forged from Solo

Mention ‘an economic powerhouse under the guise of a city in Indonesia’ and most people would only come up with Jakarta in their mind. Seeing it as the capital city of Indonesia, it is quite reasonable for most to think that way. However, there’re also other cities that flew under the radar, mostly located only thousands of miles away, yet …

Gold in the Rough // GT-R R35 on ADV.1

Following up on our previous Solo city featured rides (which are surprisingly outstanding: from turbocharged GT86 to ADV.1 CRV), today I’d like to present this tastefully modified GT-R R35, captured by Winston J during his recent trip to the Batik city. A rare sight in itself, as a GT-R, in one of Indonesia’s most culturally-rich cities; today’s build managed to …

Do it right or don’t do it at all. A philosophy that stays true in this car culture we’re living in. Trying to look different? You’d better be using quality parts, otherwise even bystanders would be criticizing your rides. Today we have a remarkably brilliant example: a CR-V from Solo that’s been equipped with branded parts most often found on …

Lights & Flashes // Uut’s BMW 335i F30 on ADV.1

Dreary. The sky’s dark and cloudy; a sure sign of an incoming rain. Tiny droplets of water then started falling down from the heavens above, exponentially turning into a hell of a downpour. What a familiar situation we’ve found these past months! Rains and storms; nights and days. For many, it has surely became the ultimate mood-breakers. Keeping their prized …

It’s a top-of the line 335i with a tasty list of modifications, which will surely entice all performance-sedan enthusiasts. I like to eat. One of my favourite foods are dim sums.

Speeding Solo // Dicky’s Boosted GT86 on ADV.1

Let me begin this post with an honest statement: I really do think that the Neo-Hachi Roku’s (new 86’s) are amongst the most versatile cars money can buy. No, I’m not talking about how you could drive your entire family comfortably in it, nor about your cross-country trips across the mainland. I’m talking about how seemingly endless the tuning possibilities …
