Performance Blueprint // Garrett-swapped GTI on HRE Vintage
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 …

Beauty in Subtlety // MINI Cooper S on Rotiform
Retro-design rules! At least that’s been the case for all MINI’s. With its iconic rounded styling, MINI’s have exhibited a strong ‘two sides of a coin’ appearance; often kinda-cute in stock form, but also very aggressive when modded. Two very different personalities often found among the MINI’s rolling on our streets. Today’s featured MINI, however, has gone through a totally …

Apart from going to the auto convention, he also took his time to visit California’s local car meets. One of which is this Royal Origin Sunday Meats held last week, 23rd …

Breath Stopper // Hendranata’s GTI MKV on BBS
Yes, Hendranata’s back on our spotlight with some pretty breath taking mod updates! Before getting to know this most recent fitment-oriented setup, I’d suggest you have a look at his previous article here.

Irresistible 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 …

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. …

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 …

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 …

An overseas ride coming in! Today I have a set of pictures sent in by Eric Tanzil which he took during his US SEMA trip. Owned by a fellow Indonesian currently living in the states (Anthony), this USDM (US Domestic Market) Fit features quite a different look when compared to our local Honda Jazz.

Ground Level // Donny’s 330Ci on Work Meister
The BMW 3 Series. The best-selling model on BMW’s lineup. As what everybody might’ve known, I have, am and will always be the till-death-do-us-part BMW fan. It all started when I fell in love with the 3 Series chassis at my seventeen years of age. My dad gave his E30 to me as a birthday gift. A car he picked …

Show Off // BMW F10 on Hamann Race Edition
Wheels make it or brake it. I am standing by that philosophy. What follows after wheels would be their fitment and dimensions as suited to the car. From diameter, width, to offsets; these are the ‘orchestratic’ combinations that can sometimes be difficult to understand, yet are playing a very crucial role in making up the overall look of the car. …

Simply ClasSick // Hendra’s K04 GTI on CCW
I used to think that Golf’s are boring and GTI’s are overpriced ($57k over here vs $25k in US). Leave the R alone, $80k for a hatchback was utterly unjustifiable for me. But then one day I got to sit in one of my friend’s GTI; after that one drive behind the wheel of the GTI, my shallow perception was …

GENESIS Car Show and Gath // hawk’n’poke X Hellaflush // Part 1
To say our team was not exhausted would be a lie. To say we’re not impressed by the quality of cars would not be true. To say we’re satisfied would not 100% be correct. It’s tiring, it’s exciting, it’s refreshing, it’s memorable, yet it’s very very far from perfect. It’s GENESIS – it’s the beginning. Mid of 2012 hawk’n’poke team …
