The Collaborative Act // RWB 002 Indonesia “Ciska”

I guess I shall welcome you to the 21st century, where anything local can now easily be appreciated worldwide, and distance is no longer a problem in the …
Read MoreIrresistible Beast // R34 GT-R V-Spec from Surabaya
“Race car is a show car but a show car isn’t always a race car,” said Mr. F, owner of today’s GT-R from Surabaya, who also happened to be the owner of Evolution IX we featured weeks ago. I found his quote to be rather interesting and fairly true. Drive a modded (or even stock) GT-R to a meet and …
Read MoreBoxer Baron // Daniel’s TechArt Porsche Boxster
Boxer + Roadster = Boxster? This is the car that has undoubtedly been the winning recipe to Porsche’s success in the 1990s. Born during the company’s financially challenging period in the early 90s, the sporty roadster has almost quadrupled Porsche’s sales figure in just a four-year period. The forefront savior. With other competitors such as Z3, SLK and humble Miata …
Read MoreContemporary Approach // BMW E90 3 Series Duo
Should we give older gen automotive builds some love? Of course we should! Despite the rising popularity of 6th gen 3 Series out there, we’re still finding a lot of great E90 builds that can be featured, such as today’s pair owned by William and Steven. In fact, we have always had special appreciations towards the great BMW 3 Series …
Read MorePermaisuri Thursday // BMW 1M on HRE
One of HRE’s latest design at the moment is the S104 from its S-series lineup. Quite a couple of sets have already made their way into Indonesia through Permaisuri, HRE authorized dealer. Some S-series were installed onto a 6 series, a C-class, and also surprisingly a Toyota Vellfire. Today’s pairing, though, is definitely one of my favourites, the BMW 1M. …

Read MoreJDM.RUN February Cruise // Photo Coverage
The beginning of the year has no doubt been a rather depressing time for us Jakarta car enthusiasts. From floods to potholes-parties on the streets, to heavy traffics. But these past few days we’ve been seeing nicer and nicer weather with clearer skies springing out of the days. So what comes naturally are more frequent meets and gatherings of us …
Read MorePermaisuri Thursday // E Class on Carlsson
To be honest I used to be rather skeptical towards single-tuner wheels. Sometimes I think perhaps they only exist for the company’s profit-taking sake, as an attempt to make available every single replacement parts for a particular car brand. From bodykit lips to badges to interior handles, and lastly to wheels. A bit too generic to my liking. Instead, I’d …
Read MoreVelocity // 3037S HKS Evo IX MR from Surabaya
These days two things are definitely true in our car culture. 1) Money can’t buy taste. 2) Money can’t even always buy you the cars. Take today’s case of the Lancer Evolution IX MR as an example. I was quite surprised finding out that the second-hand prices of these older gen Evo’s are comparable to that of the Evo X. …
