Read MoreShow Off // Arief’s Accord on BBS
Every once in a while I’d come across some uniquely memorable cars at car meets. Throughout the year 2013, one of those cars is Arief’s Accord on BBS.

Every once in a while, car enthusiasts turn into different directions in regard to personal modification preferences. Some migrate from being JDM fans to Euro fans.

Edbert used to be one of those, the …

Read MoreThe Apex // Skyline on Nismo Edition Volk
The more I get to know the Indonesian car culture, the more I feel like I’m becoming a part of the minority. I despise wannabes (Lancer with Evolution badge?
