Along the Line // Nissan GT-R on Advan

Ahh, another Godzilla at HnP. Aside from the overgrown irradiated lizard with glowing fins and devastating breath, it is also the popular nickname for the GT-R. Given how large these overgrown Skylines have become and their highly-muscular performance, ‘Godzilla’ moniker surely sounded right. Continuing the R34’s success wasn’t exactly an easy task, given how well the world has praised the …

All the Little Things // Jex’s MINI Cooper on Advan

Permaisuri Thursday // Subaru WRX STI on Advan

Despite the rising number of “form over function” style movement on our city’s streets, we’re still seeing a majority of “functionally” modified cars out there. It’s especially true when it comes to higher performance rides such as the Evolution, STI, Type R and the like. A lot of performance Japanese ride owners are still sticking true to the functional modification …

Velocity // 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. …

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.

Permaisuri Thursday // Subaru Impreza WRX STI on Advan

Meet the Subaru Impreza WRX STI. As lengthy as the name might be, it’s actually gotten some real punches under its sleeves to live up to that name. With more than 300HP to start with, it’s not often to find these boxer STI beasts turned into horsepower monsters. However, what we have today is more of a mint-looking well maintained …

Meant to Be // Evolution X on Advan

Plenty of problems can arise in the process of modifying a car. In most cases, those problems are caused by premature and bad decisions. Let me put it this way.
