It has always been the favourite choice of a majority of Malaysians to get a Beemer once they managed to secure a substantial amount of income. Reason being, Beemer cars have the look, power to match and exclusivity in which the latter has become almost non-existence since Beemer became a normal sight on the streets of Malaysia especially in the Klang Valley.
It’s the usual cup of ‘teh tarik’ to see M3 and M5 wannabes roaming down the street, boasting with the window down, M-sport emblem, gills and double-twin exhaust that …

Let’s just throw sentimentality out the window and accept the fact that changes can be good too. And in this case, a new Mini Cooper S souped up and slapped with crazy (let’s not forget expensive) mods, ready to trash any tarmac on any given track.
Or, just cruise around town and let the sound do the talking.

Maybe most of us would not agree on Mazda’s decision to tame the wild rotary beast even though the looks of this fine piece of machinery is close to being obscene, but you have got to admit Mazda’s RX-8 ability to turn heads, especially when a little of this and that is making sweet sweet rotary growl in the engine bay.
Well, all of us know that the legendary RX-7 is sitting quite comfortably on top of the food chain in the rotary segment, so let’s not compare. The RX-8 is …

Ever desire a car that’ll slap you silly just by thinking about it, and everytime that dream car passes by you’d grab whatever it is that you are holding a lil’ bit harder that would cause you to get a really tight slap for grabbing your girlfriend’s thigh a bit too tight? What about a car that slaps you around a few times because you know if you are to go to the showroom to grab yourself one of ‘em dream cars, you’d end up eating ‘semekut pat semegi atah …

It’s just one of those days when you reminisced about your past lives and memories. I’d say almost everyone of us experienced puppy love. It’s just one of those experiences in life that you just have to go through to know what it’s all about… and during these happy and most often-than-not sad days, we thought that he or she’s the one and we would end up getting married to ‘em.
But as lives go by, we got to meet other person and it’s the same process all over again… and …
Clubbin', Modded Rides »
I’d say there are thousands of car clubs all around the world. In Malaysia alone, car clubs multiplying and it’s hard for us to keep tab of all the clubs. Most of the clubs are based on car makes while some on common interests. And all these clubs have members by the thousands or at least by hundreds.
There’s one club in particular originated from northern California of the United States of America back in June 2001. It all started when a group of friends who are into Euro marquees decided …

My faithful green has been in and out of workshop, making the mechanic’s life miserable just to rectify one problem… my aircond. I have to admit that it is really cold when it’s working but the expiry date really gets to me. It can only lasts three days max.
The most would be a week with air conditioner and then it went boom! I mean it quite literally, damaging the whole system as the compressor ripped the belt in a pretty dramatic manner. It’s either that or the air conditioner hose …

I have never dreamed that one day I would be driving a modified car, since my heart and soul had been firmly planted on Yoshimura pipes and Battlax tires with the throttle on my right hand and the clutch on my left. So you can probably say I was a little shocked when I was, errr, influenced to install 17-inches on all fours of my Mazda Astina with super-hard Hi-Lo PRS Adjustables and found myself dreaming of that sweet, sweet B8 engine with LSD gearbox.
I blame Botak and Am for …

Back in the mid 90′s, Ford was considered as one of the best platform for modification especially the Laser model… regardless whether it was the hatchback or the infamous Ford Laser coupe or Ford ‘Sampan’ as we used to know it back in the days. Damn I’m old.
The most prefered power transplant was Mazda’s B6 with sneezing turbo, the B8 180hp or the B8 210hp for those with a bit more cash in their quest for power. Since then, Ford lost its touch with ‘em modders even when they came …

It’s always nice to see them modded rides cruising down that road with enough stance and visual quality that begs for a second glance. One look is enough to know that some of these cars are fully loaded, or done properly. One look is enough to tell you that these cars are taken care very, very well.
Not to mention the moolah spent on the car, of course.
Sure, some people say that they mod their cars to suit their VIP lifestyle, or their need for speed. Please, modding is not just …

Let’s get to know Kamal Motor and their latest addition to their arsenal…
Malaysian Super Series round 4, Super 16 class and the cars were prepared and ready to race. On the track, lights went on and blast off! And one of them, was this Honda EK9. Sadly, the car did not make it to the end. In Race 1, Sharul Hisham lose control of the car when it was smooched rather violently on its rear end and went off track. The car’s rear bumper was lost too when the car …

What would you do with a ride that you have owned for the past 15 years? Would you bring it in for inspection to renew your road tax once it’s due… and that is provided you get away with the inspection with flying colours, meaning that your particular ride comply with all the regulations and what’s not… only then you’d get your road tax. But then the plan has been scrapped by the government. So what else can you do? In this case, it’s a Daihatsu Charade Aura… selling it …

When I first saw this MPV, I had no idea what model was it except that it’s a Mitsubishi until the owner told me it’s an RVR. We met the owner during the fasting month when we joined the touge session at Kuala Klawang. Later, after a bit of research, I got to know that it’s better known as SpaceWagon. Mind you that this particular MPV goes ‘sprouting’ on a regular basis and damn, it’s fast.
It was quite a surprise when I got to know that the Mitsubishi RVR, which …

Mitsubishi’s rally-bred, four-door, sedan, supercar drives like a rocket and still manages to thrill and provoke an adrenaline rush, says Azdee Amir.
About two months ago, an unused performance part that was sitting idle in the storeroom was put up for sale in a popular buy and sell website. An adamant, interested, prospective buyer answered to the posted advertisement and a meeting was set up for the transaction to take place at Carreta Cafe in SS1, Kampung Tunku, Petaling Jaya, Selangor.
At CaRreta Café, the adamant, interested, prospective buyer was met, and …

How do you get a Honda NSX, a Nissan R34 Skyline GT-R, and a Nissan 350Z Fairlady to be in one place at one time? No, I’m not talking about what’s impounded at the local police station. I’m talking about the real thing, R34 with scissor doors on 20″, Veilside-kitted 350Z also on 20s and an actual but stock standard first generation NSX bringing up the rear.
Simple.
You take three of your kids, get them valid or ‘not-so-valid’ licenses and give one each to them. You will either create a hell …

Many performance car enthusiasts, speed junkies, drifters and drifting fans would not at all mind owning and driving a Nissan Silvia S15 Spec-R. It is an incredible, head-turning, force-fed induction, rear-wheel drive coupe from Nissan that is sadly no longer in production, as production ended at the end of 2002.
It is the Silvia S15’s reputation and notoriety for performance that led to Magic55 selling his beloved Mivec-powered Satria Gti in favour of a Nissan Silvia S15 Spec-R about two and a half years ago. Magic55 owned the Mivec-powered Satria Gti …

Opel Vectra B or any other continental makes apart from Beemers and Mercs has rarely been the canvas of choice when it comes to modding purposes here in Malaysia. The fact that the urban legends of these continental marquees, such as expensive to maintain and the difficulties of finding spare parts, contributes to the lack of modified Vectra scrapping the Malaysian roads. What we have here is a DTM-inspired Vectra B from standard to its prime complete with battle scars it has earned in a mere 6 month-period.
Early this year …

For many, especially compact car enthusiasts and fans, this curiously-styled, boxy little Perodua Kenari that has been totally transformed into a unique and to some, rather interesting and odd-looking compact car, is a way and means of being different on the road and a form of expression of one’s liking and passion for classy and stylish compact motoring.
Compact cars like the Perodua Kenari, Perodua Viva, Perodua Kelisa, and even the likes of the Hyundai Atos and the Naza Sutera, or Forza as it is known as nowadays, are no longer …

It’s been quite awhile since I got my hands on a crotch rocket and I was ecstatic when I got the permission from the owner to have a try on it. My first ever ride was a C70 ‘Kapcai’ and it was quite a horrid experience as I accidentally wheelied the bike into a 13-foot drain at the first rev while leaving the pillion face-first into the tarmac. After that first experience, there was quite a few accidents I had but as someone who I can’t quite recall his name …

You’re just asking for ridicule or adamant on proving you that you live under a rock or in the Vulcan planetary system if you don’t know the continuation of Nissan’s legendary supercar killer in its next incarnation the, CBA-R35, or R35 for short and minus the Skyline moniker, the name’s just GT-R for this tarmac scorcher.
Additionally, if you’re a regular… every time the Japanese racing extravaganza makes its lone and annual and lone pilgrimage outside the Land of the Rising Sun to our sunny shores, you would recognize this fine …
