Stay High // Agus’ Modulo CR-V on ADV.1
Do it right or don’t do it at all. A philosophy that stays true in this car culture we’re living in. Trying to look different?

Renovating a house is a complicated process. If you think that it is as easy as giving general ideas to contractors and hoping for the best to happen, you’d better think again. There are dimensions, there are styles, there are materials and there are plenty more of everything else. A lot of things can go wrong if done without a …

Dreary. The sky’s dark and cloudy; a sure sign of an incoming rain. Tiny droplets of water then started falling down from the heavens above, exponentially turning into a hell of a downpour. What a familiar situation we’ve found these past months! Rains and storms; nights and days. For many, it has surely became the ultimate mood-breakers. Keeping their prized …

Read MoreSpeeding Solo // Dicky’s Boosted GT86 on ADV.1
Let me begin this post with an honest statement: I really do think that the Neo-Hachi Roku’s (new 86’s) are amongst the most versatile cars money can buy. No, I’m not talking about how you could drive your entire family comfortably in it, nor about your cross-country trips across the mainland. I’m talking about how seemingly endless the tuning possibilities …

We all know too well how the hustles of a city look and feel like – congestions, traffic jams, and fully-packed parking lots; causing headaches for many car-commuters alike. Public transportations seemed like the answer, unfortunately it still have its flaws, namely in punctuality, security, safety, and overcapacity problems. Say that you want the comforts and all-weather protection of a …

Read MoreUnheard, Uncommon // Audi Q5 on Rotifom
It all started during WWII, when the Allies-faction needed light vehicles capable of crossing rough battlefield terrains with troops, equipment and supply-carrying capabilities. A do-it-all vehicle for mild terrains. They soon came up with these tough, unbreakable-yet-light vehicles we often refer to as the ‘Jeeps’. Throughout the war, civilians saw these vehicles in action and grown way too fond of …
