Grassroots and Up // Angga’s Swift on Volk Racing
Doing it right the first time. Inside my previous article, I’ve talked about how most people have gone through some drastic changes in their modification styles and preferences. Starting bottom up from the grassroots into maturity, we’ve all had our pitfalls and wrong decisions being made throughout our journey. But some people had simply done it right the first time. …

Sophistication Evolved // Iwan’s 3 Series E90 on ATS Wheels
They say a lot of enthusiasts do evolve. The cars they picked. The parts they installed. The decisions they made. Is it true? Well, as a kid I used to love cars. All cars, but especially bright-red two-door cars. Red Ferrari’s, red 90s Mercedes SL, red convertible Miata’s, I used to collect their diecasts. But if you ask me now, …

Tipping Point // Alex Supremo’s Golf on CCW
The aggressive fitment scene has spread across the world like a wildfire. Started from the idea of having widest wheels and lowered race cars to be used on the track, the aggressive fitment scene (some people refer to as ‘stance’) has been bringing the same approach to the streets, albeit with a lot more poke-and-camber. More style, less track-oriented. Recently …

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 …

Special Treats // MINI Cooper GP2 on OZ Racing
Meet the MINI John Cooper Works GP2. A seriously retuned MINI JCW inside, which has been wrapped with some quirky fun shells on the outside. A limited edition of only 2000 units worldwide, the GP2 has been designed as the missing link between the regular JCW and the MINI Challenge race car. It’s the borderline of a production car and …

Modestly Astonishing // Team Agentz Nick’s GTI on SSR
Let me start off today’s article with a rather strong perspective towards the local Indonesian car scene: there’re still way too many pretentious people with pretentious car builds out there. Seriously, our car culture should’ve been more matured by now. Stop putting oversized aeros to your underpowered rides (it’ll only slow you down even more, trust me). Stop putting all …

Breaking Boundaries // Prior Design SL on Forgestar
I’m pretty sure you’ve heard about the ugly duckling story some time during your childhood. Yes, you read that right, I’m bringing up the ugly duckling story for this SL. Aha!
