Show Off // Arief’s RVR on Volk Racing

Every once in a while we’d come across builds that go way beyond people’s expectations. Yes, we’ve featured Lamborghini’s with carbon bodykit the price of a car. Yes we’ve featured rides with wheels alone costing more than $10k. But most of the time, the bottom-line of these mods contributes to only a small fraction of the car’s price. So what’s even more extraordinary is when we see city-car builds that goes way beyond the car’s league. Such as the RVR / Outlander we are showing off today.

Contrary to popular beliefs, HnP team is still actively seeking after city cars to be featured on the site. We’ve featured the Juke on TE37 before, the K20A Jazz, CCW Jazz, and many more. We appreciate not only the type of car the owner start with, but also the parts used in the build. Far too often we’ve see city cars fitted with fake wheels and stick-on Brembo calipers (whoever made these jokes I admit is a genius but sorry I can’t stop laughing everytime I see one of those). So when I meet Arief and his RVR fitted with original RE30’s and 6-pot AP Racing brakes, I knew his build deserves to be shown off on the site.

How could someone be so willing in modifying Mitsubishi’s humble crossover? Short answer: Arief’s other ride is an Evolution X. Eventually getting tired daily driving the modded Evo X all across Jakarta’s traffic jams (and floods, I believe at this moment), Arief decided to get his hands on the Evo X’s little cousin: the RVR. So he keeps the Evo for the weekends while relying on the RVR for daily trips. With a lot of parts that can be shared between the Evo and RVR, Arief slowly started bolting-on quality mods onto the crossover, transforming it into one mean-looking sporty ride.

Evo X seats, Evo X steering wheels, Evo X strut bar, quite a number of Evo parts have he fitted on to the ride. Coupled with the DAMD bodykit and fantastic wheels setup, I can’t stop admiring the Japanese combo Arief has successfully fitted. Among his future plans are to install more carbon details and purchase another set of wheels once he gets bored of the RE30.
