Mr Rare Rims // E30 on BBS
Mr Rare Rims. He’s like a father to me from another car world. I first met him when I bought a set of lips for my BBS RS back in 2009. He was a collector and seller for some of the most hard-to-find wheels and parts, with collections including a set of mirror finish Mugen MF10 17″ – a dream …

Sportscar Community December Run // Photo Coverage
December proved to be the greatest time for communities to held end-of-year gatherings. While most people were on vacations, car lovers got the opportunity to enjoy a less-congested Jakarta. Just couple of weeks ago we joined the JDM.RUN December cruise, and today I present to you an even larger morning run arranged by Sportscar Community. Held on December 29th with …

Rebellion // Porsche Cayman on PUR
Recently I stumbled upon an article about RUF’s 3800S Boxster that’s been fitted with top-of-the-line 3.8L 911 engine. A pretty radical approach in turning Porsche’s mid-engined “affordable roadster” into a beast capable of devouring Porsche’s very own prestigious Carrera. While the 911 Carrera has always been designed by the German to stay true to its rear-engined roots, the Boxster/Cayman has …

Show Off // F10 5 Series on MORR
Granted the F10 is one of the nicest-looking mid-size sedan out there right now (it has J.D. Power Most Appealing Midsize Premium Car 2013 award behind its back). While some other cars can take quite a few glances to get used to / admire (the Panamera for example), the F10 is a love-at-first sight for most. With its wide presence …

Wallpaper Wednesday // Exotics of Bali
Happy New Year! To start this great 2014 I’m presenting you a wallpaper submitted by Dedenphoto from Bali. A trio of modern exotics; 911, Gallardo and 458, this capture pretty much summarizes Bali’s currently growing luxury car scene. And I believe in 2014 it’s only going to get even wilder! Oh and by the way, let me give you some …

Hot Spice // Cayenne Hamann on TechArt
When Porsche first introduced the Cayenne in 2002, the world was rather shocked by its appearance. Reviewers all around the world commented on its hideous appearance while Porsche purists endlessly moaned about the brand’s diversion from being a pure-bred sportscar manufacturer. Based on the VW Touareg platform but built with Porsche craftsmanship, the luxury SUV was pretty much the cash-cow …

Permaisuri Thursday // Maserati GranTurismo on Modulare
Officially it’s called the Modulare C22. But can never be found on the wheel manufacturer’s site. How’s that possible? Well, this nicely shaped concave wheels have actually been specifically devoted for sale only at Permaisuri. Call it Modulare C22 Permaisuri Edition if you wish. Unique and extremely exclusive, these gems definitely suit the looks of any exotics and supercars. A …

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 …

JDM.RUN December Cruise // Photo Coverage
The JDM.RUN crew is back with a December run; held last Sunday December 15th. With the route being Panahan – Gading – Cawang – Senayan – Airport – Pantai Indah Kapuk, it was a rather long and exciting cruise for the sunny day. Filled with plenty of boost spools and exhaust roars. Starting point being Panahan at 5:30, the cruise …

Permaisuri Thursday // Range Rover Sport on Kelleners
Perhaps only a few of you have ever heard of the brand Kelleners. Among Hamann, AC Schnitzer and the like, apparently Kelleners is the lesser known BMW tuner in Indonesia. Born from a heritage of the Kelleners’ family, who were successful in European racing series since the 1960s, Kelleners Sport now focuses on BMW performance tuning packages and aftermarket parts. …

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 …

The Charm // Mike’s 325Ci on BBS
Drive a two-door for a day and you’ll understand. The glory of a coupe’s charm. An effect obviously happening in our automotive culture. Ever since the early 1980s, the general public has always had that special appraisal towards two-door cars. I repeat: the general public. Meaning not only the automotive enthusiasts, but also all those bystanders who don’t even have …
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 // Cayman on HRE
No doubt HRE is one of our favorite wheels in the market. After the MINI Cooper on R series last week, today Permaisuri comes back with yet another HRE build. Posh, sporty and exciting, today’s Cayman has been fitted with a set of P series HRE, type P107 to be precise. Unlike the R series which have been designed with …

Wallpaper Wednesday // Frozen Grey M3 on Hyper Blue TE37SL
Quite possibly one of the most unique color options for a BMW, Frozen Grey definitely fell as one of my favorite OEM colors to date. Grey with a satin finish, the rare color code reflects lights in a way that no other glossy paints can do. Coupled with the striking hyper blue TE37SL, the whole color scheme has become one …

A Nation’s Pride // TRD Indonesia GT86 Concept Car
Toyota. The brand most well-known for its expertise in efficiency, practicality and reliability. All of which are the very fundamental factors that determine the success of mass-produced vehicles. Undoubtedly the company has been very good at it, even perhaps world’s best. But how can the company cater to those consumers whose heads are filled with horsepower figures and whose ears …
