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 …

NA HERO // Brendan’s Widebody N/A Supra on Equips
The Toyota Supra. Japan’s very own muscle car. One of 1990s’ most popular platforms of choice when it comes to creating high-powered drag monsters and mind-blowing track beasts. With great handling, huge output potentials and such great looks, it’s no wonder that the MK4 chasis is still greatly sought after even to this day. And perhaps you’ve also seen way …

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 …
Read MoreMean Machine // Coki’s 779HP Civic EG6
Take the horsepowers of two 370Z’s and then add 10%. 779HP. A wild performance figure for Coki’s built-for-streets, raced-on-strips Civic EG6. Based upon Honda’s B18C VTEC engine with an extra turbo, the seriously mean machine tears drag strips regularly while still being driven all the way across Jakarta-Bandung occasionally. “Sometimes you can consider the highway as a 120KM strip,” he …

Permaisuri Thursday // MINI Cooper S on HRE
Most people are lured into buying aftermarket wheels because of their good looks. Few others are more concerned towards the wheels’ strength and potential weight-savings. Adding wheels’ costs to those factors and we’d have a pretty good idea at the market’s preference for wheels. At this current moment, I believe, Indonesia is still having a large market share of “good …

A Fanatical Affair // BMW 3 Series E46 on Volk Rays from Bali
There’s no doubt a lot of us here are still in the dark when it comes to Bali’s automotive scene. Yes we’ve seen a lot of exotics here and there across the island; mostly shipped over from Jakarta for road trips and gatherings. But what about the modified rides scenes over there? Is aggressive fitment popular? Or functional performance mods …

Street Heat // Didot’s GT-R on Volk Rays
Meet the Nissan GT-R. The multi-million dollar gamble by the billion-dollar company. A supercar performance mated with a coupe’s practicality, whipped together under a humble pricing. Some say its acceleration is comparable to being hit by a truck. Others experience G-forces during corners so strong that necks are literally broken while driving the car (it’s Clarkson, check out the video …

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 …

Encouraging …

Show Off // Jason’s 1M on BBS
A fan-submitted article today comes from Jason, a fellow HnP regular visitor currently living in Surabaya. From MINI to E92 330i to F10 M5, he has driven them all and has also always been a fan to these BMW offerings (I know, MINI is British, but nevertheless is owned by BMW these days). Today, though, Jason is submitting one of …

Deja Vu // Bob’s Subaru GC8 on Volk Rays
An ever-growing trend among car manufacturers’ rivalries these days is in the form of numbers “racing” (a race for higher HP and lower 0-60 times repeated on a yearly basis). A 1992 GC8 Subaru WRX, for example, came off the factory floor with 236HP. It’s rival, the 1992 Mitsubishi Evolution I topped the output simply by adding 8 extra HP, …

STI LOL // Sanadi’s Widebody GTX3076 Evo 8 MR
When men first succeeded in mass producing the automobiles, there was only one model to buy – The Ford Model T. A pioneer of its age. A childhood dream for most of the boys from that era. A symbol of freedom and achievement to those who can afford it. It was the historic massal beginning for humans to start bonding …

M-SICK // Edwin’s M6 on HRE
POWER. The single most substantial word that has always been synonymized with the letter M. Lots of power. Enough to get you from 0 to 100km/h in less than 4.5s. Enough to give you a brain concussion if your feet get just a little bit too excited during a corner. Risky. Breathtaking. Thrilling. Explosive. Like bungee jumping with your eyes …

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 …

Mod Bugs // Iwan’s E90 3 Series on BBS
Have you ever felt like things are going way out of control between you and your ride? Running on your 10th set of wheels? Repainted your car for the third time? Installed the bigger turbo you’ve never thought you’ll need? Spent more time going to the workshop than going out with your girlfriend? You, then, might have been bitten by …

Take all that’s among the best F30 parts out there and put them into one top-of-the-line 3 Series sedan. That’s what we are having today. Brembo. Vorsteiner. KW. M-Performance. Akrapovic.

Primetime // Lukman’s GT86
The mountains. Pitch dark. Screams of revving engines in the distance. Dancing headlights. Screeching tires. Coming closer every seconds. Upshifts. Downshifts. Revving symphonies among what seems to be two cars racing across the mountain roads. It was getting louder. And louder. Breaking silence as they passed. Coming closer and closer. Moments later a flash of pop-up headlights passed by right …

Untamed // Mario’s E92 on Volk Rays G2
Singapore. A country so small that the government is now discouraging its residents even further from owning private vehicles. High taxes and ownership fees. High daily expenses (gas and parking fees). Speed limits. Restrictive aftermarket modification rules. All these have raised huge bars of steel surrounding Singaporean motorheads. Even the fact of owning a car has become merely a dream …
