Know Your Roots // Franky’s Stream RSZ on Volk Rays

Should lambos be bagged? Are excessive cambers pointless? What about air suspension? A lot people these days are bashing too much on what other people are doing to their cars, with arguments ranging from “ruining cars” to “doing expensive wastes”.

Permaisuri Thursday // 6 Series on Modulare

It takes quite an open mind to accept new car designs/concepts these days. Recently you might’ve seen the extreme Lamborghini Veneno, the flamboyant LaFerrari, the alien-lookalike new Lexus IS, the new Cayman and many others. Oops, the Cayman doesn’t belong there; Porsche is surely one of the most conservative these days. Well, thing is, as designers push out the boundaries …

Firstar // GTI MK6 on 3SDM

There are currently 327 posted articles in Hawk’n’Poke and yet this is the first time I’ve managed to get my own car featured. The GTI is currently about a year old and it wasn’t until a few weeks before GENESIS that I decided to inject an aggressive fitment into it. When first gotten my hands on the GTI, I’ve never …

Rarity // S2000 VGS Edition on Enkei

“All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.” (Walt Disney) Dreams set the goals while efforts take you there.

Bonkers // Fiat Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari

Small, loud, striking, and genuinely expensive. Brembo brakes? Check. Variable exhaust? Check. Limited edition? Check, only 299 units for this yellow version. Sabelt racing seats? Check. All these plus a 180HP Abarth-ft-Ferrari tuned 1.4L engine inside a 1000Kg tiny micro car. Price tag? Last I checked it was around Rp 800 million. “Whoa that’s a hefty price tag,” you’d say? …

Edbert’s Odyssey, for example, demonstrates how the attractive red candy paint has transformed the family van into a stylish VIP ride. Some, however, are going the exact opposite route. Murdering out …

Edbert used to be one of those, the …

Permaisuri Thursday // E90 on Rays Homura

Let me give you an interesting fact: among Indonesia’s major highend sedans (Mercedes, Audi, and BMW), BMW is the one most often posted at hawk’n’poke. I’m sure this has to do with the number of modified BMW’s out there. We have MOCI, for example, which shows just how much ///M cars are reigning over AMG’s in population. S and RS …
