Drifting; Best Drift Ever?

kev — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 12:07:21 +0000

The D1 judges think that this is the best drift ever; Kawabata drifting a 180SX into a corner, ass first!

So, what’s your take on the drift? Fluke? New Drift King? He seems so damn cool about it though, as if nothing had happened! Props to that!

Randoms; Guess?

Okay you all, time to dust some cobwebs from the site and guess what this is in the comments!

Guess what induction system is this truck using, and what is it used for?

Randoms; Coolest Pickup Truck EVER

I read it on Jalopnik, and this is so cool, I just needed to share this with you guys. A jet-powered truck. How cool can that be? Beats your musclecar anytime, just don’t try to race me in the mountains. That would be disastrous.

There’s a video of it too!

Randoms; A Day At The Workshop

kev — Tue, 19 May 2009 04:55:14 +0000

To most of you, going to the workshop means heading to some high-traffic area in the middle of a township, or to Sunway, where a 300whp car lurks in every other corner. To us though, heading to the workshop can be quite fun when there is a whole camaraderie of four-wheeled statements rolling around. For instance, the MG TD in the image above is a true classic car, whitewalls and all. Launched in 1953, it was considered to be one of the nicest drop top cars to drive – and be seen it during its day. Its nice to see such a classic on the roads, even if its on a flatbed headed somewhere…. A stark contrast to the MG TD is this Saga. We know that it’s a shocker, from the eloquent roadster to this abomination, but hey, one man’s meat is another man’s death penalty.

Speaking of death penalties, it’s time for the owner of this new GT-R to experience something more than the sound of high speed air at full throttle once Ah Heng is done with its stock mufflers. With the rear jacked up like that, the view is quite similar to seeing an upskirt in real life, for car engineers, that is. Such a compact 7-speed box! Intricately-designed diffusers! Coolers that tuck into the diffusers for increased efficiency, and a whole lot of cables and pipings routed in the neatest way. It’s not everyday that you get to see a GT-R on the streets, let alone peek underneath its (side)skirts!! Just another day at the workshop…

Randoms; Kelisa with nice stance

kev — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 16:24:22 +0000

We spotted this nicely-appointed Kelisa with an awesome stance for a K-car last Saturday at Sunway Pyramid. Its definitely on some form of coil-overs although we could not take a closer look; the driver, a young girl would have freaked out!!! On another note, last Sunday drift images will have to wait till tomorrow; we are having slight problems with image uploads. Either that or Izzi has screwed our upload line again. Damn you Malaysian broadband!!!

Randoms; Lancer GT

kev — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:07:40 +0000

The owner of this Lancer GT has taken quite a bit of effort to make his car look furious, or should we say, more similar to its potent Evo X brother. Apart from the BBS 18″(?) rims and large exhaust, it also sports what seems to be a Voltex hood and front lip.

Oh, BTW, we’ll be heading to Bukit Jalil this Sunday, see ya there!

So, when did you learn how to cuss on the road? I know I do it quite often, in particular towards drivers who are hogging the lanes, especially on the fast lane, merging with half their cars on either lane, and bikes who shouldn’t be riding ON THE MIDDLE OF TWO LANES!

Randoms; Which Is Faster?

kev — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 05:54:34 +0000

As posted in LYN’s FnF thread, which car is faster?

the Fast and Furious’ Supra?

Brabus’ new G-class with the V12 from the S600 and twin turbos?

Why Wet Roads Are Dangerous

kev — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 13:08:22 +0000

See that beautiful oil patch right there? Naturally caused by the amount of traffic passing by the area, oil slicks are the product of (but not limited to) leaking oil pan gaskets, blow-by from your oil catch tanks as well as byproducts of burning engine oil via leaking piston rings. This particular slick was spotted near Eastin hotel during a traffic holdup after yesterday’s downpour, and measured well over a kilometer. Even if you have the best tires on, there is no recovery from spinning out or crashing into something else if there’s oil on the road. Drive safe!

Randoms; Tofu Estima?

Hey y’all, it has been quite a while since the last blog update, and although there were a couple of motorsport events that were held over the weekend and last week, we weren’t able to cover them due to some busy scheduling. Here’s a random shot however, of a Estima that’s Tofu-shopfized! Well, its still a Toyota!
