Wallpaper Wednesday // Mex’s Miata on Work
Mex’s Miata is back on our headlines! And today it’s looking lower and sleeker than ever. Ever since the featured article we posted a year ago, Mex has installed a pair of front lips and rear ducktail, and has also dialed down those STD coilovers a little bit more. The result is this stunningly static Miata, quite possibly one of …

Street Heat // Didot’s GT-R on Volk Rays
Meet the Nissan GT-R. The multi-million dollar gamble by the billion-dollar company. A supercar performance mated with a coupe’s practicality, whipped together under a humble pricing. Some say its acceleration is comparable to being hit by a truck. Others experience G-forces during corners so strong that necks are literally broken while driving the car (it’s Clarkson, check out the video …

Rarity // S2000 VGS Edition on Enkei
“All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.” (Walt Disney) Dreams set the goals while efforts take you there. Most of the gearheads I’ve met have had some sort of a childhood dream car. Some dreamed of owning the 1:1 Ferrari from the 1:43 scale they used to play with. Others dream about restoring …

The 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? Stay away), I don’t personally like body conversions (Lancer to Ferrari? You’re fooling yourself), I pay 0 respect to those 5 Series diesels wearing M5 badges, I’ll say you’re cheap if …

Daily Stretch // E46 3 Series on CCW
This E46 first caught my attention while I was attending HIN contest late 2012. If you can remember, I put this E46’s picture as the featured image on that contest’s coverage article. This time Mex has had the chance to do a full photo shoot for this stance machine. It’s pretty obvious that the ride has been purposely built for …

A Composer // Lamborghini Gallardo on Rennen Forged
Couple of days ago I posted the quite unusual yellow painted Z4 sent in by Mex from Bandung. Today’s ride he sent me is even more outrageous. 1) It’s a Lamborghini. 2) It’s wearing the not-so-usual Rennen Forged wheels of choice. 3) It’s been installed with a set of custom fibre and carbon body parts. A typical Lamborghini owner these …

Some Called It Landshark // Yellow (paint) Z4
From Laguna Seca Blue M3, today we move on to another uniquely colored BMW: a shiny yellow Z4. Yes the color has been achieved through a repaint, but it shines pretty good.

Street Dreams // Fairlady 350Z on TE37SL
“Have you ever actually raced it on the track?” I’ve seen a lot of internet trollers and haters raising this question on forums and boards in regard to performance-tuned rides; and it isn’t rare to find these threads filled with angers and arguments fueled by the question. Some argue and mock the modifications as being pointless and nonsensical, because those …

Childhood Dream // K20A Civic Estilo on Volk
Never before I’ve seen a three-page specification list document being submitted to hawk’n’poke’s email. Never before I’ve seen such a simple looking car with tons of work actually been done underneath it. Never before I’ve seen a 1995 car that’s been rebuilt with so much passion. Only in dreams, I thought. But then Mex submitted this K20A Estilo owned by …
